In 2023, France's production of gutted fresh dogfish sharks stood at approximately 0.4 metric tons. The forecast for 2024 anticipates a decrease to 0.3 metric tons, indicating a year-on-year decline of 25%. The subsequent years, 2025 and 2026, predict stabilization at 0.2 metric tons. By 2027, another decline is expected, bringing the figure to 0.1 metric tons, with stabilization continuing into 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is negative, underscoring a consistent downturn in production.
Potential future trends to monitor include:
- Conservation policies impacting shark fishing operations.
- Changes in market demand for shark meat and sustainability practices.
- Impacts of environmental regulations on fisheries.
