# Seafood Media Group - Worldnews - Peru Officializes Catch Quota for the First Anchovy Fishing Season in the Southern Region

> Peru's Ministry of Production issued the final resolution setting a 251,000-ton total allowable catch for the first 2026 southern anchovy season, starting June 15. The rules require observers on 100% of the industrial fleet and closure of zones within 24 hours when juvenile share exceeds 10%. The quota follows Imarpe's hydroacoustic biomass survey.

## Why it matters

The quota sets fishmeal and fish oil output for the early season, and juvenile-closure rules could cut catches quickly. Tight output supports protein meal prices.
