The production of gutted fresh spotted seabass in France's capture fisheries was 0.7 metric tons in 2023. It is projected to increase to 0.8 metric tons in 2024 and further to 0.9 metric tons in 2025 and 2026. The volume will eventually reach 1 metric ton in 2027 and is expected to stabilize at this level in 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is forecasted at 12.5%, with no growth between 2025 and 2026. The forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 stands at 5.8%.

Future trends to watch for:

Monitoring policy changes in fisheries management, which may impact capture rates.
Evaluating consumer demand for seafood sustainability as it could influence production practices and volumes.
Technological advancements in fishing gear improving efficiency without increasing catch pressure.
Assessing the impacts of climate change on seabass habitats and migration patterns, potentially affecting availability and production stability.
