It also notes that Peru's 2022 fishing and fish oil output fell after a lower quota was set for late 2021.
Stable reduction-fishery volumes point to adequate fishmeal supply for feed makers, which tends to keep prices from spiking. Peru's anchovy catch remains the main swing factor for the global benchmark.
