| Abstract |
The Dutch squid fishery has grown rapidly since 2019, making the Netherlands the second-largest EU contributor to squid landings. Historically absent from these fisheries, the Dutch fleet, initially the flyshooters and, more recently, the otter trawlers and beam trawlers, has increasingly targeting squid during winter. This shift is likely driven by the high profitability of this new fishery, the need for the fleets to diversify their activity, and the absence of quota restrictions of squid, coupled with a rising quid abundance in the North Sea. |
