※ This video is part of <Humans and the Sea - The Great Gift of the Pacific, Peruvian Giant Squid Fishing> broadcast on December 21, 2022. Paita, a bustling coastal city located in the northern part of Peru! The Peruvian Sea, which is a treasure trove of seafood, ranking second in the world in terms of catch, is a scenic sea area where the southward-flowing South Equatorial Current and the northward-flowing Humboldt Current meet, boasting abundant fish resources. In Peru, which is full of vitality, there is a species of fish that has been a filial piety to fishermen for several years: the Humboldt squid, also known as the 'giant squid'. Thanks to the abundant seafood, the fish market in the capital city of Lima is always crowded with people buying and selling what they caught. Even in this fish market, the most commonly seen fish these days is by far the giant squid. South Americans who make a living from giant squids that range from the size of an adult's forearm to the size of a human body refer to the giant squid with bright smiles as a 'gift'. However, before these gifts of giant squid reach the market, there are rough men who go out to sea, and they are the giant squid fishermen of Paita Port. A 15-ton ship with 6 fishermen, including 5 crew members and 1 captain, begins its journey to catch giant squid from the Pacific Ocean, sailing through the blue sea again today. They take turns sailing the ship, and they support each other so that they are not dragged away by the giant squid. However, there is a person sitting in the corner of the ship without saying a word. He is a new crew member who has boarded this giant squid fishing boat for the first time today! He will sleep soundly in a cramped cabin with unfamiliar crew members, and fill his stomach with the fish and squid he catches, and he will have to endure hardships and joys on the ship for nearly 10 days. Will he be able to become a true giant squid fisherman on the dangerous sea? On the sea, giant squid fishing is not going well due to the appearance of an unexpected troublemaker, and in the meantime, another broken boat sends an SOS from the sea. Fishermen who are in a desperate situation with their own fishing, cross between boats without any safety equipment and try to fix other fishermen's boats. These Peruvian fishermen believe that in order to make a living on the fierce blue sea, they must rely on each other. The honest stories of giant squid fishing boatmen, which is not always easy, and even giant squid food that Peruvians enjoy, the story of Peruvian boatmen fighting against rough waves and giant squid ✔ Program name: Humans and the Sea - Giant Squid Fishing in Peru, a Great Gift from the Pacific ✔ Broadcast date: 2022.12.21 #TVViewingGolladunDocumentary
