摘要

Squid boom: Oregon's market squid fishery is seeing another year of record landings, with 8.5 million pounds landed as the season tapered down in mid-May. The total ex-vessel value of that is $4.9 million.That surpasses the former landings record of about 7 million pounds in 2018."The initial pulse occurred earlier this year than it has in the past few years, with 7.2 million pounds being landed from March 23 to April 7," said Troy Buell, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's state fishery management program leader.Buell said 40 vessels have participated in this year's squid fishery, with as many as 25 making landings in any given week.But the vessel numbers were down to 10 to 14 per week by mid-May.Some "late joiners" from Oregon, Washington, and Alaska also participated.
