“Likewise, the purpose of the discussion was to promote the formalization of the artisanal squid fishing fleet and participate in the strengthening of squid fishing research with the Institute of the Sea of Peru (IMARPE),” indicated Carrera.
The head of CAPECAL placed strong emphasis on the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; as well as strengthening relationships between all actors in the fishery production chain.
