# Fishing for a future

> A feature reports that artisanal fishers in northern Peru and Latin America face declining catches, with fish sizes shrinking, as climate change and overfishing strain marine ecosystems. The article highlights that fish provides vital nutrition for more than 3 billion people. It focuses on the struggles of small-scale fishers rather than on any new supply event.

## Why it matters

Pressure on small-scale catches is a long-run concern for fishmeal and fish oil supply, but the article describes no new cause that would move prices now. Any effect would show up gradually in Peruvian anchovy landings.
