Seafood has relatively high requirements for long-term preservation and long-distance transportation. In order to keep seafood fresh, people tried all kinds of ways, as for the effect of preservation is not the same. In the same way, we will briefly introduce the common ways of seafood preservation. The main processing methods are as follows: fresh, chilled, frozen and dry. Frozen is also divided into sea frozen and land frozen according to the processing location.

Last year, the giant squid fishery in Peru's EEZ(Exclusive Economic Zone) had a historic harvest, and this year production has fallen so sharply that domestic prices in Peru have risen to as high as PEN 24/kg ($6.36/kg), causing processors to shy away from even acquiring the raw material.

Recently, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) released a global fisheries report for the first quarter of 2024, which provides an in-depth analysis of the global cephalopod market, covering multiple dimensions such as production and supply, market trade, price trends and market outlook.

According to a recent technical report from the Argentine INIDEP cephalopod research team as of May 6, the average daily catch of illex squid has increased from 16 tons in 2023 to 24 tons in the current year compared to last year, showing stability in the catch. Compared to 2023, the current fishing season's harvest has been more impressive. This is evidenced by a 50% increase in the fleet's average daily production and a 62.5% jump in total catch, which was achieved with a stable operation of 70 fishing vessels.
