After decades of mining pollution, the release of 90,000 rainbow trout fingerlings marks the recovery of Lake Orccococha in Huancavelica, southern Peru.
Although it is three years late, it is estimated that it could provide a cash injection of between USD 116 million and USD 145 million for the Peruvian aquaculture industry.
The Peruvian Ministry of Production presented the assessment report on the fisheries and aquaculture sectors prepared by the OECD Committee on Fisheries.
Appointed Minister by the previous President, José Jerí, César Manuel Quispe Luján will continue to head Produce during the term of José María Balcázar.
