As a result of this survey, PRODUCE has established the maximum allowable catch limit for the fan shell at 74 tons during the year 2024. This limit will apply to specimens with sizes greater than 65 mm in valve height.
The extractive activity concludes when the quota is reached, upon recommendation of the Instituto del Mar del Perú - IMARPE for environmental or biological reasons, or no later than May 31, 2024.

Participating artisanal fishermen are reminded that they must have a valid fishing permit and comply with established fishing, environmental and health regulations. Furthermore, the landing of the resource can only be carried out at the points authorized by the General Directorate of Supervision, Inspection and Sanction of PRODUCE.
The lifting of the ban on fan shell, an important benthic resource, represents an opportunity to reactivate fishing in the region. This measure seeks to boost the local economy, and achieve a balance between the sustainable use of the resource and the preservation of the marine environment.
