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.
