# El Niño reduced fishing by 50% along the region’s coastline

> Fish arrivals at fishing terminals in the region have fallen by about 50% as El Niño’s warmer waters drive away seasonal species, local fishing representatives said. Bonito, squid, mullet and shrimp remain available, while some other species are scarce or leaving the area; bonito prices have risen from S/ 8 to S/ 11 over the past month.

## Why it matters

Lower catches tighten local seafood supply and have already coincided with higher bonito prices. The report does not establish a direct effect on feed-ingredient markets.
