The forecast for flatfishes production in capture fisheries in France indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 11.4 metric tons in 2024 to 10.1 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year variation consistently shows a negative trend, as production declines by approximately 3.5% annually. Comparing against 2023, where flatfishes production stood at around 11.8 metric tons, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years reflects a steady contraction in production.
Future trends to watch include regulatory changes impacting fishing practices, climate change effects on fish habitats, and shifts in demand for flatfishes, which could either exacerbate the decline or drive efforts for sustainability and possibly reverse or stabilize current trends.
