# PRODUCE Proposes 30-Day Bonito Closure and 6,000-Tonne Exploratory Fishing

> Peru's Ministry of Production proposes a 30-day reproductive closure for bonito starting November 1, 2026, plus two exploratory fishing periods capped at 6,000 tonnes combined. The proposal follows landings that reached 95% of the annual catch limit and aims to assess El Niño's effects on the resource.

## Why it matters

Bonito is mainly a human-consumption species, so the impact on feed ingredient supply and prices is limited. It does show Peru's regulatory response to El Niño pressure on fisheries.
