Squid Jigging From Small Boats

Summary

There is a good potential for creating new fisheries around the British Isles based on squid, several commercial species of which occur and are either unexploited or under utilised. The main market for squid and other cephalopods landed in the UK is for whole frozen animals, which are exported to markets in the Mediterranean counties, particularly Italy. The potential of this market and also of the Asian market is said to be considerable. Japan continues to lead in both production and consumption of squid and imports about 10% of the remaining world catch.
