The forecast for fresh European conger production in France’s capture fisheries from 2024 through 2028 shows a gradual decline in volume, starting at 3.75 thousand metric tons in 2024 and projecting down to 3.57 thousand metric tons by 2028. From 2023, where production stood at a comparable level given the consistent forecast at 3.75 in 2024, this indicates a gentle downward trend, averaging a decrease of approximately 0.9% per annum over these five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Sustainability practices in fisheries management could impact production rates positively or negatively.
- Shifts in consumer demand for European conger might influence capture volumes.
- Regulatory changes in the fishing industry could either constrain or boost production levels.
- Environmental factors such as ocean conditions can also affect the availability of European conger.
