The fleet operates with jiggers, a special form of vertical lines mostly used in the fishery for squid. In Peru, the resource is almost exclusively exploited by artisanal fleet who must have a fishing permit to be able to operate in Peruvian waters. Their abundance and distribution patterns are very sensitive to changes in the environmental conditions and the abundance of its preys. 2001), but as no genetic difference has been found between the three proposed sub-unit populations, thus it is still considered to constitute a single stock (Xu et al. Jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is one of the largest (2.5 metres maximum length and 50 kg maximum weight) and the most abundant cephalopod species of the world. Three intraspecific groups have been identified for Giant or Jumbo flying squid ( Dosidicus gigas) in the Southeast Pacific, based on size-at-maturity (Nigmatullin et al. It is expected that with the collaboration of all the FIP Participants the fishery can move towards a more sustainable state. A critical issue that the fishery needs to improve are national regulations related to the fisheries' formalization and given its highly migratory characteristics an international approach should also be sought. This is a highly selective fishery as all squid jigs are used to catch them one by one. Over 11 thousand fishers and more than 3 thousand fishing vessels are involved in the fishery, which lands each year around 500 thousand tons of squid. Jumbo squid represents the second biggest fishery in Peru and the most important for artisanal fishers.
