# Peru sets 3 million MT TAC for first North-Central anchovy fishery season of 2025

> PRODUCE set 22 April as the launch date for Peru's first 2025 north-central anchovy season, with a 3 million metric ton TAC. The quota is the second-highest seasonal total in the last decade, and officials cite a healthy biomass of about 11 million tonnes under neutral environmental conditions. Peru landed over 4.6 million tonnes in 2024 across two seasons, and its anchovy supplies about 20% of global fishmeal.
