In 2023, the production of gutted fresh dogfish sharks for human consumption in French capture fisheries stood at 0.8 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a 12.5% decrease in 2024, followed by a consistent production of 0.6 metric tons from 2025 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period shows a significant negative trend at approximately -6.37%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential regulatory changes impacting fishing quotas and conservation efforts which could reduce production.
- Shifts in consumer preferences away from shark consumption due to environmental concerns.
- Impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems affecting dogfish shark populations.
