The decision follows a scientific review by the Marine Research Institute (IMARPE) that found a shrinking, young stock and warm ocean conditions linked to El Niño. The fishery targets Peruvian anchovy (anchoveta, Engraulis ringens).

IMARPE's Cruise 2609-10, with data to October 7, estimates acoustic biomass at about 5.12 million tonnes. That is 27.9% below the summer 2026 level and 22.8% below the 1996–2025 winter-spring...
