The Ministry of Production (Produce) established the suspension of the extractive activities of the anchovy and white anchovy resources as of January 10, 2021, and for a period of seven days, in the area between 09 ° 00'LS and 10 ° 00'LS, from 20 to 60 miles from the coast.
Through Ministerial Resolution No. 00011-2021-Produce, published today in an extraordinary edition of the legal regulations of the official newspaper El Peruano, it was indicated that the suspension zone is located from the coast of Chimbote to that of Huarmey.

Oceana continues to reveal fraud in the marketplace. This time it is Peru's turn, where, on average, 67% of fish is traded under another name and substituted fraudulently; that is, approximately 7 out of 10 fish are sold under another name, according to the results of the new report carried out by the marine conservation organizations Oceana Peru and ProDelphinus.
The study analyzed 1025 samples collected in the main coastal cities of the country, identifying the replacement of species in 75 points of sale, among restaurants, supermarkets and district markets, in Lima (La Punta, La Victoria, Miraflores, San Borja and Surquillo), Chiclayo and Piura.
