# Peru's anchovy catch exceeds 1 million tonnes

> Peru's second anchovy season had passed 1 million tonnes by November 28, about 40% of the 2.51 million-tonne quota. Port closures from weather slowed fishing, but progress was still good. The quota is 49% above the same period in 2023, and the season is due to end in January.

## Why it matters

A strong catch increases fishmeal supply, which is bearish for fishmeal prices. Weather-related port closures are a short-term constraint that has not yet cut the overall catch.
