Peru’s Ministry of Production authorized the Peruvian Sea Institute to conduct an exploratory sardine fishery along the coast amid the 2026–27 El Niño. The research, which can last up to 15 days, will gather information on sardine distribution, size structure, and reproductive status to inform management and conservation measures.
The exploratory fishery is intended to improve information for managing sardine stocks, but it is a short research activity rather than an announced change in commercial supply. No immediate feed-ingredient price effect is established.
