Most of the fish that are harvested in the Falkland Islands waters are either squid or finfish. Other types of fish form an insignificant part of the Falkland Islands' catch. A significant number of the fish that are taken are migratory with the spawning grounds and feeding grounds of some species being highly dependent on the water temperature.

''Cumi-Cumi Patagonia'', tidak seperti ''Illex'', tetap di perairan Pulau Falkland sepanjang tahun dan tertumpu di ''tempat Loloigo'' - wilayah di Dataran Tinggi Malvinas ke timur dan selatan-timur pulau dan dituai selama kedua-dua musim semi dan musim gugur selatan.
The ''Patagonian squid'', unlike the ''Illex'', remain in Falkland Island waters all year and are concentrated in the ''Loloigo box'' - an area within the Falklands Plateau to the east and south-east of the islands and are harvested during both the austral spring and autumn.
