PRODUCE Reportedly Orders Suspension of Artisanal Giant Squid Fishing for Vessels Under 10 Cubic Meters

Tuesday, September 22, 2026, 04:00 (GMT + 9)

The measure would take effect on September 23, 2026, impacting the small-scale fleet, landing sites, and processing plants, pending official publication of the rule

The Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) has reportedly ordered the suspension, effective from 00:00 hours on September 23, 2026, of extraction activities for giant squid or jumbo flying squid (Dosidicus gigas) conducted by artisanal fishing vessels with a hold capacity of less than 10 cubic meters.

The regulation is attributed to Directorial Resolution No. 00126-2026-PRODUCE/DGSFS-PA, dated September 18, 2026, according to reports by industry media outlet Grupo Pesquero. However, the official document has not yet been located on PRODUCE's institutional portal or document repository, leaving the information pending official verification by the relevant authorities.

If confirmed, the measure would mandate an immediate cessation of harvesting operations for the targeted artisanal fleet. Furthermore, it would enforce stricter controls over landing, transport, and commercialization processes along the coastline.

A potential halt in the artisanal sector could directly affect the supply of giant squid for direct human consumption (DHC), impacting the value chain including vessel owners, crew members, artisanal landing facility personnel, and processing plants.

This directive comes amid recent regulatory adjustments in the fishery. In August 2026, the Ministry of Production approved a new total allowable catch limit for Dosidicus gigas via Ministerial Resolution No. 00304-2026-PRODUCE. Subsequently, the entity announced the reactivation of the fishery supported by an additional quota exceeding 82,000 tonnes, based on scientific evaluation reports.

Currently, PRODUCE maintains strict oversight mechanisms for operating units without active Satellite Tracking Systems (SISESAT), enforcing compliance with rigorous logging for embarkation, departure clearances, ice provision, landing points, and traceability to regulate giant squid harvesting.

PRODUCE、10立方メートル未満の沿岸漁船によるアメリカオオアカイカ漁の停止を命令か

この措置は2026年9月23日から発効し、小規模漁船、揚げ地、加工工場に影響を与える見込みで、正式な告示が待たれている

生産省(PRODUCE)は、2026年9月23日00:00より、魚倉容積10立方メートル未満の沿岸漁船によるアメリカオオアカイカ(Dosidicus gigas)の漁獲活動を停止する方針を固めた模様です。

水産専門メディアGrupo Pesqueroの報道によると、この措置は2026年9月18日付の理事会決議第00126-2026-PRODUCE/DGSFS-PA号に基づくものとされています。ただし、現在PRODUCEの公式ポータルサイトや文書リポジトリには該当文書が掲載されておらず、関係当局による正式な確認が待たれています。

本決定が確認されれば、対象となる沿岸漁船の漁獲作業は即時停止を余儀なくされます。また、沿岸全域における陸揚げ、輸送、流通プロセスへの監視体制が大幅に強化されることになります。

小規模漁業部門の操業停止は、直接食用(DHC)向けアメリカオオアカイカの供給に直接的な影響を及ぼす可能性があり、船主、乗組員、沿岸揚陸施設の作業員、水産加工工場を含むバリューチェーン全体への打撃が懸念されています。

この動向は、近年の漁業規制調整の中で発生したものです。2026年8月生産省省令第00304-2026-PRODUCE号を通じてDosidicus gigasの新たな総許容漁獲量を承認しました。その後、科学的評価報告に基づき82,000トンを超える追加枠を設定し、漁業の再開を発表していました。

現在もPRODUCEは、衛星追跡システム(SISESAT)を搭載していない操業船に対し、乗船記録、出港許可、氷の補給、揚陸拠点、トレーサビリティに関する厳格な管理体制を維持し、イカ漁の適正な管理を進めています。

据报秘鲁生产部将暂停船舱容积小于10立方米的沿岸渔船捕捞美洲大赤鱿

该措施计划于2026年9月23日生效,将影响小型渔船、卸货码头及加工厂,目前尚待官方正式公布

据报道,秘鲁生产部(PRODUCE)已决定自2026年9月23日00:00起,暂停船舱容积小于10立方米的小型沿岸渔船对美洲大赤鱿(Dosidicus gigas)的捕捞作业。

根据水产行业媒体Grupo Pesquero的报道,该规定源于2026年9月18日颁布的第 00126-2026-PRODUCE/DGSFS-PA 号局长级决议。然而,截至目前,PRODUCE官方网站及文件库中尚未公开该正式文件,相关信息仍需官方进一步核实。

若该决议得到证实,受影响的沿岸渔船将必须立即停止捕捞作业。同时,政府将进一步加强对沿海地区美洲大赤鱿卸货、运输和销售全流程的监管力度。

小型捕捞业态的停产可能直接影响直接食用(DHC)美洲大赤鱿的总体供应,进而波及包括船东、船员、码头作业人员及水产加工厂在内的完整产业链。

此项措施是在近期渔业管理政策调整的背景下出台的。2026年8月生产部通过第 00304-2026-PRODUCE 号部长级决议,批准了Dosidicus gigas的新总允许捕捞量。随后,基于科学评估报告,该部门宣布增加超过82,000吨的捕捞配额并重启该渔场。

目前,PRODUCE持续对未安装或未运行卫星跟踪系统(SISESAT)的作业船只实施严格监管,要求执行登船、出港许可、加冰加给、卸货点以及可追溯性等一系列规定,以规范美洲大赤鱿的捕捞活动。
