Model predicts squid landings in Terengganu will increase by 8.5% by 2030, suggesting sustainable management is needed.
The future of squid fisheries relies on comprehending landing patterns that are essential for sustainable management and long‐term vitality of marine ecosystems. Lack of comprehensive species‐specific data, environmental factors, and food availability constrains understanding of drivers of landing trends. Accurate predictions of future squid landings are essential for understanding population changes and guiding timely adjustments in quotas, regulations, and conservation efforts. We used seasonal‐trend loess (STL) and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models to forecast squid landing trends in Terengganu, Malaysia, during 2023–2030, from observed squid landings during 1987–2022, to support sustainable fisheries management. Landings increased 8.5% from 2022 (14,643 metric tons) to 2030 (16,021.55 metric tons). Anticipated growth in landings suggested that squid fisheries were currently sustainable in Terengganu but would need ongoing proactive management, regulation, and conservation initiatives to sustain this status.
