This Tuesday, August 22, begins the first evaluation to determine the spawning of the anchoveta for the second season of fishing, says Produce.
 

This Tuesday, August 22, the two scientific vessels of the Imarpe (José Olaya Balandra and Luis Flores Portugal) will sail from Callao to study the spawning biomass of anchovy, information that will help determine the start of the Second Fishing Season 2017 in the area North-Central region of the country, according to the Minister of Production, Pedro Olaechea.
 

Global landings of small pelagics are expected to grow 7% in 2017 compared with 2016, according to a new report by the United Nations's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

"The major reason for this growth is an expected higher catch of Peruvian anchovy. Atlantic mackerel and Atlantic herring are also expected to increase, although not as much as anchovy," the report reads.

The combined increase for herring and mackerel landings in 2017 is expected to be about 4% more than in 2016, according to FAO.

Peruvian fishmeal prices are expected to remain stable in coming weeks, having already recently fallen amid strong supply from Peru, Europe and Chile.

"Prices at the moment are stable both in China and Peru," a source from a large Peruvian fishmeal producer said.

Pre-sales of Peruvian fishmeal from this ongoing season appear to be at around 500,000 metric tons, most of which in the process of being delivered to China, Enrico Bachis, market research director for IFFO, the marine ingredients organization, told Undercurrent.

China's moratorium on fishing in all national waters, including the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea, began on May 1, 2017.  Fishing north of the 12 degree north latitude, except for conventional angling or other approved methods, will also be restricted.  The bans in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, above the 35 degree north latitude, are set to end on Sept. 1.
