In 2023, the whole fresh smalltooth weakfish production in French capture fisheries was valued at 3.12 Thousand Euros per metric ton. Forecasts indicate a gradual decline in value, with a decrease to 2.87 Thousand Euros per metric ton by 2028. This represents a year-on-year percentage variation of approximately -1.62% over the last two years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2023 and 2028 is expected to be approximately -1.68% annually.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems which could affect fish stock sizes and health.
Changes in regulatory policies and fishing quotas that may influence production figures.
Market demands and shifts towards sustainable and eco-friendly fisheries impacting pricing and value.
