The recent EUREKA scientific survey found signs of improving anchovy growth, but a high proportion of juveniles and persistently warm ocean conditions has ruled out a restart of fishing.
According to The Marine Ingredients Organisation, the suspension, which was initially going to be in effect until yesterday, now has no announced end date.
The ISO 9001:2015 certification reaffirms the technical and scientific work carried out by the Peruvian Institute of the Sea in favour of sustainable fishing.
The measure, temporary, will be in effect until May 3, and has been taken to guarantee spawning and prevent the capture of specimens smaller than the permitted size.
