Abstract

Recent studies have shown that coastal and shelf cephalopod populations have increased globally over the last six decades. Although cephalopod landings are dominated by the squid fishery, which represents nearly 80% of the worldwide cephalopod catches, octopuses and cuttlefishes represent ∼10% each. Total reported global production of octopuses over the past three decades indicates a relatively steady increase in catch, almost doubling from 179,042 t in 1980 to 355,239 t in 2014. Octopus fisheries are likely to continue to grow in importance and magnitude as many finfish stocks are either fully or over-exploited. More than twenty described octopus species are harvested from some 90 countries worldwide. The current review describes the major octopus fisheries around the globe, providing an overview of species targeted, ecological and biological features of exploited stocks, catches and the key aspects of management.

摘要

最近的研究表明，在过去的 60 年中，全球沿海和陆架头足类动物数量有所增加。虽然头足类捕捞以鱿鱼渔业为主，占全球头足类捕捞量的近 80%，但章鱼和墨鱼各占 10%。过去 30 年全球报道的章鱼总产量表明渔获量相对稳定增长，几乎翻了一番，从 1980 年的 179,042 吨增加到 2014 年的 355,239 吨。充分利用或过度利用。从全球约 90 个国家/地区捕获了 20 多种已描述的章鱼物种。目前的审查描述了全球主要的章鱼渔业，概述了目标物种，
