# Return of the sardine investigated amid El Niño

> Peru’s Ministry of Production authorized a sardine exploratory fishery of up to 15 days along the coast. The survey will assess whether the species’ recent appearance is related to El Niño or a change in its distribution; it is for research, not commercial fishing.
