CONSIDERING:

The First fishing season will start on Saturday. With the limit Fishing Guild, he hoped that it would be "a Good Year"

The first season of anchovy in the central Northern Zone of the country will open with a share of 2.8 million tons, according to before the Ministry of production (produce).

The limit is higher in 55.5% against established by produced in the same period of 2011, when the total was 1.8 million tons.

Peru is expected to announce the total allowable catch (TAC) for the first anchovy season in the center-north area as soon as this week.

Its said quota is to be 2.8 million metric tons while many producers expect the quota  ranging between 2m and 3 m metric tons.  Today, Peruvian fishmeal super prime RMB price is at 11300-11500/mt level but negotiable due to poor demand with current stock at China main port about 160,000 mt level.    If the quota is set in the upper part of the range, it could pressure not only China but global fishmeal prices.
