In response to the growing squid fishery in the southeast Pacific in the 1990s, with high levels of production in Peru, a scientific consultancy on the biology and fishery for D. gigas was undertaken in 1997 and 1998 by PGKR at Instituto del Mar del Perú, Callao. This was funded by the European Union under the VECEP (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) technical cooperation programme. A framework for research on fishery biology of D. gigas was developed and it was recommended that regular international scientific meetings should take place between researchers from relevant South and Central American countries to disseminate, share and discuss new information and to link squid researchers. The main focus of these meetings was to be on the biology, ecology and management of Pacific squid fisheries, with special emphasis on environmental and fisheries driven spatial and temporal changes in squid stocks and the impact of these changes on other marine populations.
