The maximum catch limit is 251,000 tonnes, following a recommendation from IMARPE. Only vessels holding permits for anchovy destined for indirect human consumption (fishmeal and fish oil) may fish.

## Why it matters

Anchovy is the main raw material for fishmeal, a key protein ingredient in feed. A defined catch quota in southern Peru starts supply flow, which can ease fishmeal tightness if landings are strong, though the modest quota relative to demand limits the bearish effect.
