# Peru ends second anchovy season | The Fish Site

> Peru's second anchovy season in the North-Centre closed on January 13, 2024, with about 75% of the quota of 1.5 million tonnes landed, according to IFFO. Global fishmeal and fish oil output declined in the first 11 months of 2023, mainly due to El Niño and Peru's cancelled first season.
