Condepp Responds to Asipes on Squid Fishing: "The Solution is Not to Return to Monopolies, But to Open Up Chilean Competition in International Waters"

Macarena Cepeda, president of the Industrial Fishers of Biobío (Asipes), claimed that nearly 100,000 tons of squid authorized for capture in 2025 have gone unharvested, labeling Law 21.134 as "the worst public policy in fisheries history in Chile," which was countered by the National Council for the Defense of Fishing Heritage (Condepp). They highlighted that the squid law has created thousands of jobs at sea and on land, challenging Cepeda to substantiate her claim about the unharvested 100,000 tons.
