Peru authorizes 15-day exploratory anchovy fishing amid El Niño biomass shift

Peru's Imarpe will conduct exploratory white anchovy fishing for 15 days to assess availability, following a survey estimating 242,602 tons of biomass. The institute warns the species' presence may increase as El Niño develops, signaling a potential shift in marine resources. This could affect Peru's fishing industry and global fishmeal supply, a key commodity for markets.
