The measure benefits vessels with a hold capacity under 10 cubic meters, allocating a quota of 9,879 metric tons for the final stretch of the year, while awaiting scientific findings from IMARPE.

LIMA - The Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) formally initiated a new catch allocation period for the Jumbo Flying Squid or giant squid (Dosidicus gigas) fishery in Peruvian waters. The decision authorizes harvesting operations for artisanal fishing vessels with a hold capacity of less than 10 cubic meters, which are permitted to operate through the period spanning from October 1 to December 31. Conversely, the intermediate-scale fleet, comprising vessels between 10 and 32.6 cubic meters, remains suspended from operations.

The regulatory framework for the small-scale artisanal sector was established through Ministerial Resolution No. 00339-2026-PRODUCE, published on September 23, which enabled the resumption of fishing activities starting at 00:00 hours on the day following its publication. This regulation directly links harvesting activities to the overall catch limit established for the final quarter of the year.

Under the provisions of Ministerial Resolution No. 00304-2026-PRODUCE, the under-10-cubic-meter segment has been allocated a quota of 9,879 metric tons for the October–December period, in addition to any unharvested balance remaining from the previous cycle between August 30 and September 30. Regarding the 10 to 32.6 cubic meter fleet segment, the resolution designates a catch quota of 31,282 metric tons for the same quarter; however, vessel operations remain on hold pending a potential lifting of the suspension by PRODUCE, which will depend on scientific evaluation by the Marine Institute of Peru (IMARPE).

The government ruling adheres to precautionary advice issued by IMARPE. The scientific authority cautioned that the uptick in catch per unit effort recorded in September should not be interpreted as conclusive evidence of greater resource abundance. Consequently, the institute recommended deferring any major adjustments to the fishery management regime until the findings of the hydroacoustic assessment survey CR2609-10 are made available.

For the full 2026 fishing year, the total allowable catch limit for giant squid was fixed at 709,659 metric tons. Of this total allocation, 82,321 metric tons were assigned specifically to the timeframe from August 30 to December 31, divided according to hold capacity and operational windows. Furthermore, authorities emphasized that vessel operators must strictly comply with existing provisions regarding fishing permits, vessel monitoring systems, and official landing record registrations at designated ports.

ペルー、小型沿岸漁船向けのアメリカオオアカイカ漁を解禁 中型船団の停止措置は継続

10立方メートル未満の魚倉容量を持つ漁船を対象に、本年末までの期間として9,879トンの漁獲枠を割り当て。IMARPEの科学的調査結果を待つ方針。

リマ、2026年10月1日。 ペルー生産省(PRODUCE)は、ペルー海域におけるアメリカオオアカイカ(Dosidicus gigas)漁の新しい漁獲配分期間を正式に開始した。本措置により、魚倉容量が10立方メートル未満の小型沿岸漁船に対して漁獲操業が許可され、10月1日から12月31日までの期間で操業が可能となる。一方で、10〜32.6立方メートルの魚倉容量を持つ中型規模の船団については、操業停止措置が継続される。

小型沿岸漁業部門に関する規制枠組みは、9月23日に公布された省令第00339-2026-PRODUCE号によって制定され、公布翌日の00:00から操業再開が認められた。本規制は、イカの漁獲活動を第4四半期に設定された総漁獲上限に直接関連付けている。

省令第00304-2026-PRODUCE号の規定に基づき、10立方メートル未満の区分には10月〜12月の期間に対して9,879トンの配定量が割り当てられ、さらに8月30日から9月30日までの前期間に漁獲されなかった残量が加算される。10〜32.6立方メートルの船団区分については、同四半期向けに31,282トンの漁獲枠が設定されているものの、ペルー海洋研究所(IMARPE)の科学的知見に基づきPRODUCEが停止措置を解除するまで、実際の操業は控えられたままである。

今回の政府決定は、IMARPEからの予防的勧告に基づくものである。同科学機関は、9月に観測された単位努力量あたり漁獲量の増加を、資源量の増加を示す確証的な証拠として解釈すべきではないと警告した。その上で、音響海洋評価調査CR2609-10の結果が得られるまでは、漁業管理制度の大幅な変更を見送るよう勧告した。

2026年通年のアメリカオオアカイカの最大許容漁獲量は709,659トンに設定されている。この総量うち、82,321トンが8月30日から12月31日までの期間に割り当てられており、魚倉容量および時期に応じて細分化されている。また、当局は漁業者に対し、漁業許可、衛星追跡システム、指定港での水揚げ記録に関する現行の規制を厳格に遵守するよう改めて呼びかけた。

秘鲁批准10立方米以下小型手工渔船捕捞美洲大赤鱿,中型舰队继续维持停捕

此项措施惠及舱容小于10立方米的渔船,为今年最后阶段分配了9,879吨的配额,同时等待秘鲁海洋研究院的科学评估结果。

利马,2026年10月1日。 秘鲁生产部(PRODUCE)正式启动秘鲁海域美洲大赤鱿(Dosidicus gigas)捕捞的新一轮配额分配周期。该措施授权舱容小于10立方米的手工小型渔船开展捕捞作业,允许其在10月1日至12月31日期间进行作业。相比之下,舱容在10至32.6立方米之间的中型规模舰队则继续暂停捕捞活动。

针对小型手工捕捞部门的监管框架是通过于9月23日颁布的第00339-2026-PRODUCE号部级决议确立的,该决议允许该部门自颁布次日00:00起恢复捕捞。该法规将捕捞活动与今年第四季度设定的总捕捞限额直接挂钩。

根据第00304-2026-PRODUCE号部级决议的规定,小于10立方米的船队部门在10月至12月期间获得了9,879吨的分配配额,此外还将加上8月30日至9月30日上一周期未捕捞的剩余配额。对于10至32.6立方米的船队部门,决议为同一季度设定了31,282吨的配额,但其作业仍取决于PRODUCE是否会根据秘鲁海洋研究院(IMARPE)的科学评估解除停捕令。

政府的这一决定基于IMARPE提出的预防性建议。该科学机构警告称,9月观察到的单位努力量捕捞量增加不应被解释为资源丰度增加的决定性证据。因此,该机构建议在获得CR2609-10水声评估调查结果之前,暂不对渔业管理制度作出重大调整。

在2026整个年度中,美洲大赤鱿的最大允许捕捞量定为709,659吨。在这一总量中,82,321吨被专门分配给8月30日至12月31日期间,并根据舱容和时间段进行了差异化分配。此外,主管部门强调,船主必须严格遵守有关捕捞许可证、卫星监控系统以及在指定港口进行卸货登记的现行法规。
