The forecast for fresh small-spotted catshark production in France shows a declining trend between 2024 and 2028. The production is expected to decrease from 2.57 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.95 thousand metric tons in 2028. This downward trend reflects an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -6.01% over five years. The year-on-year decrease shows a steady decline of approximately 6.68% annually.
Future trends to monitor include shifts in consumer demand for small-spotted catshark and regulatory changes in fisheries management. Monitoring environmental factors impacting stock availability and the role of sustainable fishing practices will also be crucial.
