National and international media report that the British colony established in the Argentine Malvina Islands has decided to close the 2025 summer season for loligo squid fishing early, given that all catches are of specimens smaller than required for commercialization . This fact has forced the fishing sector to face one of its worst balances in five years, either due to an increase in fishing pressure along the Argentine 200-mile boundary, where the species passes, or because the squid has moved to other latitudes, presumably due to climate change.

The early closure raises several alarms. On the one hand, it directly affects the current income of the Kelper economy from the sale of illegal licenses. On the other, it jeopardizes payments for the large investments made by Spanish companies over the past four years in the renewal of the fishing fleet .

The information about ending the squid fishing season a week earlier than planned came from the colonial government itself. Although it's worth remembering that it began a month later than planned. This means that before it started on February 1st, it actually started on March 1st. Thus, only 58 of the projected 90 days were recorded, with a catch of only 10% of the 45,000 tons intended by the Spanish-British companies .
