As of 2023, the lemon sole production in France's capture fisheries was considerably higher than the forecasted decline projected over the next five years. From 2024 onwards, production is expected to shrink significantly from 529.34 metric tons in 2024 to 409.87 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year variation suggests a consistent downtrend, with a notable decrease annually, reflecting a pattern that averages into a negative CAGR over the five-year horizon.

Future trends to watch include:

Impact of sustainable fishing policies on fish stock levels and production limits.
Market demand fluctuations influenced by changing consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood.
Technological advancements potentially leading to more efficient fishing practices.
