# PRODUCE bans three artisanal net fishing methods across Peru's entire coastline

> Peru's Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) banned three artisanal fishing methods that use gillnets when actively moved during fishing operations, under Ministerial Resolution 00395-2026-PRODUCE. The ban applies along the whole Peruvian coast, while passive use of these nets remains allowed. Officials say the active method causes seabed damage and increases bycatch of juvenile fish.

## Why it matters

The measure affects small-scale coastal catch rather than industrial anchoveta landings, so the direct effect on fishmeal supply and prices is likely limited. It is a regulatory signal to watch if enforcement widens to larger fleets.
