Reports show that fishing in Peru, up to the 17th, totals about 105,000 m/t of catch or about 24,000 m/t of fishmeal production. The juvenile level is very high in some areas of Peru which has resulted in short term fishing bans. According to the available statistics there are about 200 vessels out fishing on a daily basis. The daily catch levels don't seem to be able to get much over 17,000 m/t -- we will need to see an increase the average daily catch if the total quota is to be landed.
