# Expectations high as Peru’s anchovy fishers await launch of season

> Peru's anchovy fishing season for the north-central zone is expected to open after Easter, following a previous season in which fishers caught only about 80% of the total allowable catch. Industry figures say biomass is around 10 million metric tons but juvenile fish have forced about 80 areas to close.
