cephalopod fisheries

Cephalopod fisheries target marine animals like squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish, which are valued worldwide for their nutritional and culinary qualities. These fisheries are managed to balance harvesting with sustainability, ensuring populations remain healthy for future generations. Fishing methods vary from trawling and jigging to traps, and regulations often include quotas and seasonal restrictions to prevent overfishing. Cephalopods are an important part of marine ecosystems and support local economies. Responsible management and scientific assessment are crucial to maintain cephalopod stocks, protect ocean biodiversity, and ensure a steady supply for consumers.
