IFOP holds a talk on southern octopus to Sernapesca Castro officials
January 27th, 2025Within the framework of the work carried out by IFOP in the context of the Benthic Fisheries Monitoring Program, that is, maintaining effective communication with institutional and private agents of the benthic artisanal fishing sector to disseminate the results of the project, the talk “Biological, fishing and reproductive aspects of the southern octopus resource (Enteroctopus megalocyathus)” was held on Friday, January 17 at Sernapesca Castro facilities, given by senior researcher and Master in aquatic resource management, Andrés Olguín Ibacache. The event was attended by officials from said office. In this regard, researcher Andrés Olguín highlighted “The activity allowed to present the main aspects of the biology of a resource as important for artisanal fishing as the southern octopus. It was really enriching to talk and exchange knowledge with colleagues from Sernapesca, who carry out important work on a daily basis in the fishing coves of the area, where the work of each one of them leaves them with lessons, knowledge and experiences.”
Paulina Rojas Whipple, Head of the Sernapesca Castro Office, indicated that instances like these are very important for the officials of the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service, especially for those who are in the field, giving greater meaning to the inspection actions carried out at the different points of the value chain (landing points, marketers, processing plants) and exchanging experiences on fishing issues with relevant species such as the southern octopus and which are in line with the connection with the environment and strengthening the management of people (learning and continuous improvement).
