The Ministry of Production in Peru has decided to postpone the start of the anchovy and white anchovy fishing season in the North Zone - Center of the country, following recommendations from the Peruvian Sea Institute (Imarpe). The decision was made after an exploratory fishing period found that the fish sizes and juvenile incidence were not suitable for fishing, and to prevent overexploitation of the resource.

They will also engage with the fishing industry to address the employment and income impacts of the delayed fishing season.
