The forecast for gutted fresh Black Dogfish production in French capture fisheries for human consumption shows a sharp decline. From 2024-2025, production remains constant at 0.1 metric tons but drops to zero in 2026, continuing this trend through 2028. This indicates a significant decrease, especially considering 2023 figures, which stood slightly above zero. This trend suggests industry challenges potentially caused by overfishing or regulatory measures aimed at conservation.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Regulatory changes impacting fisheries management aimed at sustainability.
- Shifts in consumer preferences influencing demand.
- Development of alternative protein sources affecting market dynamics.
