The forecast for whole fresh shellfish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline. The forecasted figures reflect a decrease from 42.08 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 34.18 thousand metric tons in 2028. Comparing year-on-year changes, the production is set to drop by approximately 5% per annum. This consistent decrease highlights a larger trend of diminishing production in this sector.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on shellfish habitats.
- Changes in consumer demand and preferences for shellfish.
- Regulatory shifts affecting fishing practices and quotas.
