The forecast for fresh whelk production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a progressive upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with expected values rising from 29.912 Million Euros in 2024 to 32.971 Million Euros by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate remains relatively stable, reflecting a modest yet consistent increase in production value. For reference, the forecast for 2024 marks an increase from the actual figures in 2023.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems affecting whelk populations.
Regulatory changes in the EU concerning marine capture fisheries and their implications.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood options.
Innovations in fishing technology and practices that may enhance yield efficiency.
