# Artisanal Fishing: Which Nets Are Prohibited and Which Can Still Be Used Along Peru’s Coast?

> Peru’s Ministry of Production prohibited three active fishing practices using gillnets or trammel nets nationwide: dragged gillnets, active V-shaped gillnets with a ring, and dragged gillnets fitted with a drum. The restriction follows technical advice that these practices can damage vulnerable seabed habitats and increase incidental catches of juvenile and non-target species; passive use of the nets remains allowed.

## Why it matters

The rules could constrain fishing activity for affected operators, but the article does not indicate a material change to fishmeal or other feed-ingredient supply. Any commodity-price effect is therefore uncertain and likely limited.
