The forecast for whole fresh surmullet production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The production is expected to decrease from 2.17 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.93 thousand metric tons by 2028. This decline reflects a steady year-on-year reduction.

Between 2023 and 2024, the production saw a slight decrease, followed by continued decreases each year through 2028. This translates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that signifies a gradual decline over the five-year forecast period.

Watch for changes in marine environmental policies that might impact capture volumes.
Technological advancements in fishing techniques could alter future production trends.
Shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood products may also influence production practices.
