# Record Short First Fishmeal and Fish Oil Season in Peru | The Fish Site

> Peru's first 2016 fishmeal season was closed early in July 2016 with less than half its quota caught, and the 2016 start was delayed to 1 July. Landings from the first season reached only about 900,000 tonnes against a 1.8 million tonne quota. El Niño effects and an unscheduled closure have cut anchovy catches over the past three years.

## Why it matters

Repeated short seasons tighten global fishmeal supply, which supports fishmeal prices. The article suggests the second season is unlikely to offset the shortfall.
