Although it is true that the capture of juveniles is
incidental, that it happens involuntarily and there is still no technology to
prevent it, some mechanisms and actions have been put into practice to reduce
these incidents.
The most effective method to protect the resource is
the temporary closing of the fishing areas when juveniles are detected, which
is arranged by the authorities. Also, another action that ensures the
well-being of the anchovy is the self-closure carried out by fishing boats.
This allows its protection, since it is arranged not to pass and extract the
resource on the updated areas thanks to a daily monitoring program that the
Sociedad Nacional de Pesquería (National Fisheries Society) has been adopting
since 2015.
Definitely, these practices have put our country below
the limit of incidental hunting of juveniles established by Imarpe.
From Hayduk Corporation we are sure that
sustainability can be achieved with responsibility and the Peruvian fishing
industry has proven it in the last few years. Let’s keep it that way!
