The article reports on the successful completion of the first half of the anchovy fishing season, which saw the capture of 1.37 million tonnes of fish, or 54.6% of the annual quota. However, the season may need to end earlier than expected due to the risk of exceeding the juvenile catch limit of 151,000 tonnes. Furthermore, 450,000 tonnes of fishmeal for the upcoming season have already been pre-sold, covering 75-89% of the projected production.
