# Peru Bans Three Types of Gillnet Fishing Along the Entire Coast

> Peru’s Ministry of Production banned three active gillnet fishing methods along the country’s entire coastline, covering operations both from boats and from shore. The restriction is based on technical findings that these methods can damage vulnerable seabed habitats and cause juvenile and non-target species to be caught; traditional passive use of the nets remains permitted.

## Why it matters

The ban may constrain catches from the affected fishing methods, but the article gives no estimate of its effect on total supply. It does not establish a direct impact on feed-ingredient availability or prices.
