Lima, May 11, 2020.- By Ministerial Resolution No. 147-2020-PRODUCE, it was approved the beginning of the first fishing season 2020 of anchovy in the north-central zone of Peru, starting on May 13th, 2020.

The fishing quota established for the season is 2’413,000 metric tons, which is in line with the recommendations of IMARPE that in its report “Situation of the north-center stock of Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis Ringens) to May, 2020″, observed a biomass equivalent to 10’110,000 metric tons, which confirms the appropriate management of the resource and the commitment to sustainability.

This season will finish once the Total Maximum Limit of Permissible Catch of the North-Central Zone (LMTCP North-Center) is reached, or in its absence, when IMARPE recommends it for environmental or biological circumstances.
