The quota allocated for the first fishing season
The quota set for the first season of 2018 in the north-central zone was 3.3 million tons (considering the natural mortality of the species, individual growth and predators consumption). However, this year the figure fell slightly due to the environmental conditions post El Niño phenomenon.
The Institute of the Sea of Peru (IMARPE)
carried out the respective exploratory fishing, with the objective of
collecting information on the current biomass distribution. With these results,
the Ministry of Production established the extraction quota of 2.1 million tons
of anchovy.
In addition, he specified that the season will
end when the quota has been reached or when the conditions vary. If there is a
presence of juveniles (sizes smaller than 12cm), the activity should be paralyzed,
and the area closed so that the species can change its area.
Responsible and strategic fishing
It is worth mentioning that it is the State
that oversees all vessels that don´t comply with the established norms, but it
is we, the fishermen themselves, who must take the initiative to respect them.
In the same way, it is important that we all
commit ourselves to the safety and preservation of the environment and denounce
any illegal practice that affects our sea biodiversity.
To make our work more efficient, in Hayduk we
have a satellite antennas system in our vessels to facilitate communication and
send information in real time. Innovation and technology are part of our
management and are key to making work more efficient.
