The Ministry of Production (Produce) authorized the start of the First Fishing Season 2024 for the anchovy resource (Engraulis ringens) and white anchovy (anchovy nasus), destined for indirect human consumption, in the maritime area between the northern end of the maritime domain of Peru and 16°00’S, starting at 00:00 hours on Tuesday, April 16. The quota will be 2 million 475,000 tons.
Ministerial resolution No. 000118-2024-PRODUCE establishes that the conclusion date of the First Fishing Season 2024 will occur when the authorized Total Maximum Allowable Catch Limit of the North – Center Zone (LMTCP North – Center) is reached, or in its default, when the Peruvian Sea Institute (Imarpe) recommends it due to environmental or biological circumstances.
In this way, Produce once again resumes its anchovy catch limits prior to the climatic events of a year ago, after in 2023 the quota assigned for the first and second season, respectively, were 1.1 and 1. 68 million tons. In 2022, the quotas had been 2.79 and 2.83 million tons.
Only registered and authorized fishing vessels with a valid fishing permit for the anchovy resource intended for indirect human consumption, whose list is published by Produce, may carry out fishing operations.
In the event that the catches of the anchovy fleet reach the maximum quota, the extractive activities are ended; without prejudice to establishing the administrative and/or criminal responsibilities of the owners of those vessels that have made catches above the limit.
It should be noted that, recently, Produce also determined that the second 2023 season will not be considered for shipowners’ compliance with the obligation to extract 80% of the maximum catch limit per vessel.
