| Main Descriptors | Considered a single stock: No Spatial Scale: Regional
Management unit: Yes Reference year: 2016
|
| Considered a single stock: A group of individuals in a species occupying a well defined spatial range independent of other stocks of the same species. It can be affected by random dispersal movements and directed migrations due to seasonal or reproductive activity. |
| Spatial Scale: Spatial scale contains a standard term such as Global, Regional (e.g. for the whole Atlantic), sub-regional (e.g. for a part of the Atlantic), national, local (for sub-national levels). |
| Considered a management unit: An aquatic resource or fishery is declared as [Fishery] Management Unit if it is effectively the focus for the application of selected management methods and measures, within the broader framework of a management system. According to the FAO Glossary for Responsible Fishing, "a Fishery Management Unit (FMU) is a fishery or a portion of a fishery identified in a Fishery Management Plan (FMP) relevant to the FMP's management objectives." FMU's may be organised around fisheries biological, geographic, economic, technical, social or ecological dimensions , and the makeup and attribute of a fishery management unit depends mainly on the FMP's management objectives. |
| Jurisdictional distribution: Jurisdictional qualifier (e.g. "shared", "shared - highly migratory") of the aquatic resource related with its spatial distribution. |
| Environmental group: Classification of the aquatic resource according to the environmental group (e.g. pelagic invertebrate, or demersal fish) to which the species belong. |
| Reference Year: The Reference Year is the last year considered in the stock assessment and/or fishery status. |
| | | | | | Biological State and Trend There remain significant uncertainties associated with the status of the stock(s) in the South-east Pacific. Habitat and Biology Climatic zone: Temperate. Horizontal distribution: Oceanic. Vertical distribution: Pelagic. Geographical Distribution Jurisdictional distribution: Straddling between High Seas and EEZ Geo References  | | Geographic extent of Jumbo flying squid - Southeast Pacific

Resource Structure Considered a single stock: No Dosidicus gigas is the largest ommastrephid squid and occurs only within the Eastern Pacific Ocean from northern California to southern Chile. Within the equatorial area the range is stretched westward as a strip, narrowing to the west and reaching 140˚ W. D. gigas supports a major fishery off Chile, Peru and the Gulf of California, with combined cephalopod landings of 1 078 436 tonnes in 2014. D. gigas is monocyclic and dies after spawning, therefore populations are highly variable. The abundance of D. gigas is thought to be largely influenced by environmental variables such as ENSO events. During El Niño years populations have decreased and landings have reflected this by declining sharply. Exploitation As described in SC6-SQ01.
