The global allocation of the resource provided by the SPRFMO for 2020 reaches a total of 680.00 tonnes, compared to 591,000 tonnes for the current year.
Chile's jack mackerel catch quota in the South Pacific will be 439,000 tonnes in 2020, which implies a 15% increase over the 380,000 tonnes set for this year.
The increase was decided by the scientific committee of the SPRFMO - a multilateral organization that manages the fishing activity in that area - during a meeting held in Havana, Cuba, between October 7 and 12.

The committee was made up of Australia, China, Cuba, Ecuador, European Union, New Zealand, Peru, Taiwan, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, South Korea and Chile. As a guest attended Japan.
Like Chile, the other countries that capture jack mackerel in the South Pacific have see their respective quotas increase by 15%.
Thus, the global allocation of the resource provided by the SPRFMO for 2020 reaches a total of 680,000 tonnes, compared to 591,000 tonnes for the current year.

To decide the increase, the scientific committee of the organization considered the fact that for the third consecutive year, the jack mackerel shows a clear recovery, to the point that today it is in its "maximum sustained yield" (full exploitation).
The Chilean quota represents 64.56% of the total allocation of this resource for the countries that make up the SPRFMO.
Chile was one of the States that promoted the creation of the multilateral forum, precisely to safeguard this resource that was once overexploited, due to the absence of regulation of fishing activity in the South Pacific.
