The Ministry of Production (Produce) in Peru has imposed a reproductive ban on hake in strategic areas of the Peruvian Sea, aiming to protect its reproductive process and ensure its availability for future generations.
Furthermore, the product can only be traded if there is undeniable and verifiable documentation proving that the resource was captured before the ban began.
According to PRODUCE, thanks to these bans, hake can complete its reproductive cycle without disturbances, strengthening the resource's population and ensuring the sustainability of fishing in the long term.
The ultimate goal of this public organization is to protect the marine ecosystem and the economy of those who depend on responsible fishing.
Just a few days ago, Produce also announced the implementation of new management measures to guarantee the sustainability of the jumbo-flying squid resource and strengthen the activity of thousands of artisanal fishermen in the country.
Moreover, illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU) inspections in Peru set a record in 2024. More than 163,000 interventions were carried out, prioritizing the protection of key species for the economy and environmental balance, ensuring compliance with fishing regulations.
The more than 163,000 interventions to protect hydrobiological resources carried out by Produce not only ensured compliance with fishing regulations but also prioritized the protection of key species for the economy and environmental balance.
