South Atlantic Fisheries Commission
(est. 1990)
- 2005/06 Argentina reduced co-operation
- ‘Normal’ SAFC meetings suspended
- Upset at introduction of long term fishing rights
Argentina introduced a law to penalise companies in Argentina which have links to fishing in the Falklands

Fishing Rights & ITQ
- 8 ITQ fisheries – Illex is the main exception
- 14 companies hold ITQ
- ITQ allocated to mid 2031
- Falklands fleet; 17 Trawlers & 2-3 longliners
- Active involvement, effective control

EU – currently main trading partner
- 50% of all Calamari in EU is from FI
- Main involvement is with Spain

Fishery Science
Key objective is to calculate Maximum Sustainable Yield for stocks using; Commercial catch & effort statistics,
- bserver data, life cycle research and
surveys. Innovative solution for research based on commercial fishing vessel fitted with research equipment and laboratory: 42 days research time per year.

Fishery Protection
Deterring IUU fishing can be done but inevitably has a price. Fishery protection vessel is chartered & costs c. £ 2.8 M p.a. FIG has resorted to using armed force on 2 occasions but that is usually unnecessary! FIGAS – Aerial Surveillance

Future Challenges
- Volatility of short lived squid species
- Conservation of shared stocks in absence of
Argentine co-operation and no RFMO
- Exporting fish products in face of Argentine
‘discomfort’ on some shipping links
- Infrastructure to support fishing industry
- Access to capital for fleet renewal and
investment in industry development
- F/V Working conditions
SLIDE 21
NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES
Future – Fishing Industry
- Increased shareholding in JVs, greater engagement in
marketing, selling and processing
- Investment in new efficient vessels & downstream operations
- Some growth in onshore operations in terms of
containerisation, distribution from FI, supporting services, head office functions
- Less likely to see onshore processing in FI, apart from
specialist operations

Fishing for a Future
- Renewable resource – long term industry
- Early Oil production – no longer biggest show in town;
competition for resources, ultimately some benefits
- Later Oil – need to make more of opportunities in the
fishery: Marketing & selling Vessel operations Head office roles Seagoing jobs Fisheries Department
