Peru's Ministry of Production has authorized a 10-day exploratory anchovy fishing season in the north-central region starting on August 3. The fishing quota remains at 1.09 million tons, and vessels will be allowed to conduct exploratory fishing based on this quota. The aim of the fishing is to update information on the spatial distribution, body structure, and breeding activity of anchovies in the region, with the catch to be counted towards the limited quota for the first fishing season in 2023.
