Seasonal Squid Catch Decline Intensifies Unevenly in Korean Jig Fishery
The Korean offshore jig fishery for common squid is not losing its catch evenly. Our analysis of 24 years of daily vessel reports reveals a stark seasonal asymmetry: autumn declines are roughly twice as steep as summer ones, with late-autumn intensity dropping by nearly 9% annually. This is a measured, empirical description of a fishery-dependent observation process, not an abundance index. Yet the pattern is robust, persisting across statistical models and vessel types.
Warming East Sea Disrupts Squid Spawning and Recruitment Patterns
The East Sea is warming two to four times faster than the global ocean, and the squid fishery built on *Todarodes pacificus* has collapsed by over 90 percent. Yet, as this study makes clear, the catch record alone cannot explain why. By shifting focus to a 26-year reconstruction of spawning habitat and a fishery-independent larval survey, the authors deliver a baseline that is both rigorous and honest.
