Tridge summary

The 2024 Japanese squid resource assessment report reveals that both the autumn and winter breeding populations of squid in the waters around Japan have low resource abundance and uncertain future recovery. The autumn breeding population, which was once a historical catch of 315,000 tons in 1996, saw a significant decline to 28,000 tons in 2023. The winter breeding population, which peaked at 400,000 tons in 1996, dropped to 14,000 tons in 2023. The causes of the decline include abnormal climate and overfishing, despite some protection and management measures. The recovery of Japanese squid resources is uncertain, and the fishing volume and prices are uncertain, presenting operating challenges for processing plants and exporters.

The National Fisheries Research and Education Organization of Japan and local testing research institutions recently released the 2024 Japanese squid resource assessment report, which comprehensively analyzed the status of squid resources distributed in the waters around Japan. The report shows that both the autumn breeding population and the winter breeding population have a low resource abundance and catch in recent years, and future recovery is still full of uncertainty. The autumn breeding population is mainly distributed in the western Sea of Japan and the northern East China Sea. It migrates north in spring and summer and returns south in autumn. In 1996, the catch of this population reached a historical peak of 315,000 tons, but has gradually declined since 2005. In 20 The catch in 2023 was only 28,000 tons.
