Throughout 2022, the FIP has conducted 5 workshops for artisanal fishermen on the use of the TrazApp e-logbook system. Currently, 34 vessels have produced 97 TrazApp reports

Fishery monitoring data from 2015-2019 has been collected and consolidated into a presentation; the data shows that increased observer coverage is needed and Peru has submitted an alternative observer program for the artisanal fleet

The fleet formalization process continues to progress; there are 1448 artisanal fishing vessels that have obtained a fishing permit and currently, 42% of total vessels have been formalized

CAPECAL and IMARPE have signed a collaborative research agreement; the agreement aims to develop a sample donation program that will contribute to population and genetic information

Squid catch data reported in the TrazApp for January 2021- June 2022 made available

The FIP is developing a ROP to modify the current fishing regulations for squid

Formalization process is still ongoing; vessel percentage enrollment is high. Registrations will likely be completed by 2022. 

The TrazApp is continually being updated; Since it's implementation, the most recent data provided shows that approximately 70,000 ton of jumbo squid have been registered by 180 fishers to date. 

WWF sent a proposal to PRODUCE for the creation of a sectoral working group to strengthen the governance of the fishing and aquaculture sector

The project submitted for PRODUCE's National Fisheries and Aquaculture Program was successfully approved 

PRODUCE launched the platform pescaformal.pe this platform seeks to advise fishers in the formalization process in the SIFORPA II and COOPERATIVAS models

CMM 16-2021 and CMM 18-2020 have been introduced for review; these CMMs will establish management measures for the jumbo squid fishery and will aim to establish an observer program. 

Jumbo squid stock assessment published

Monitoring continues to be funded into 2020; electric monitoring project approved

Roadmap developed by the Giant Squid – Mahi mahi Working Group that indicates different goals, including an on-board monitoring program.

The position statement was presented and discussed during the 7th Comission Meeting of SPRFMO

Preliminary stock assessment model for Peruvian jumbo squid

Jumbo squid committee meeting convened 

International workshop to improve monitoring and evaluation of the stock

Increase to PI 2.3.2;  there are measures in place that minimize UoA-related mortality of PAP species

Increase to PI 1.2.3; genetic analysis conducted which confirms the existence of two separate populations of giant squid in the Western Pacific and in the Eastern Pacific.

WWF, developed application, TrazApp, has currently registered more than 50,000 tons of landed squid and pilot running in season 

Increase to PI 3.2.2; an established decision-making processes has been fully adopted by PRODUCE

Increase to PI 1.2.2.; There is some evidence that the tools used to apply HCR are adequate and effective in controlling exploitation (SG60)
