The Peruvian squid market faces unprecedented shortages and price increases

The squid industry is facing a crisis due to the combined effects of climate change, unregulated squid fishing, and El Niño. These factors have led to a significant decrease in consumption, forcing companies to either switch to other seafood options or face potential closure. Critics within the industry are slamming the government for the lack of regulation in fishing activities and are advocating for stricter oversight to preserve local resources and foster sustainable marine management practices.
