Former Vice Minister of Fisheries warns in interview with EXPRESO that prevention will prevent greater economic and social loss in the fishing sector

In a recent interview granted to the Peruvian news outlet EXPRESO, the former Vice Minister of Fisheries, Alfonso Miranda Eyzaguirre, warned about the urgent need to anticipate the impacts that a possible intense El Niño phenomenon could cause on national infrastructure, artisanal fishing, and the fishing industry. Although scientific monitoring will allow for adjustments to resource extraction, the specialist warned that the Peruvian State must act with maximum speed to avoid severe damage.

The former official explained that these climatic phenomena not only alter sea temperature, but also modify salinity, current movements, and the normal habitat of species, reducing or transforming their accessibility. In this regard, he explained that in Peru there are two distinct stocks of anchovy (Engraulis ringens): the northern zone stock, which historically is highly affected by El Niño, and the southern zone stock, which usually benefits from improved environmental conditions for its capture.

Given this scenario, Alfonso Miranda Eyzaguirre urged the Ministry of Production (Produce) and the Marine Institute of Peru (Imarpe) to immediately evaluate the so-called "opportunity resources"—such as scallops (Argopecten purpuratus) or tuna—whose exploitation windows are extremely short.

The main risk, as he stated to EXPRESO, lies in the destruction of fisheries infrastructure, which includes artisanal landing sites, docks, access points, vessels, cold storage facilities, and processing plants. Likewise, mariculture is at risk because mountain streams discharge into the sea, decreasing oxygen levels and causing mortality of species.

Alfonso Miranda Eyzaguirre emphasized the economic and social value at stake: the Peruvian fishing sector recorded exports of around US$ 4,000 million last year, of which more than US$ 2,000 million corresponded exclusively to fishing and aquaculture for human consumption. Similarly, the activity generates 150 thousand direct jobs and supports, under the multiplier effect, more than 1 million people in the country.

Faced with the current context of a change of government in Peru, the former vice minister demanded greater transparency and the publication of progress in prevention works, allowing the next administration to continue with planned execution. In addition, he proposed that the Government urgently implement financing mechanisms and credits to reinforce artisanal and industrial facilities before rains and marine alterations intensify.

Second season in the south Coinciding with these alerts, the Ministry of Production (Produce) formally authorized the start of the second fishing season for anchovy and white anchovy in the southern zone of the country. The extractive activity is scheduled to begin on July 1 and will extend until December 31, or otherwise, until reaching the Total Allowable Catch Limit (LMTCP), set at 251 thousand tons.

The measure follows the recommendations of Imarpe, which suggested maintaining a precautionary approach due to the development of a moderate-intensity El Niño event and the high presence of juveniles detected in previous monitoring. The current legal regulations provide for a strengthening of biological control and the application of temporary closures in areas where a high incidence of juveniles is registered, with the objective of guaranteeing sustainability and preserving the resource stock.

ペルーにおけるエルニーニョ現象発生の可能性に対しアルフォンソ・ミランダ・エイサギレ氏:「国家は水産インフラを保護すべきである」 元漁業副大臣、EXPRESO誌のインタビューで、予防策が水産業界における更なる経済的・社会的損失を回避すると警告

ペルーの報道機関EXPRESOに最近与えられたインタビューの中で、元漁業副大臣のアルフォンソ・ミランダ・エイサギレ氏は、激しいエルニーニョ現象が国家インフラ、沿岸小規模漁業、および水産業にもたらす可能性のある影響を予測することの極めて高い緊急性を警告した。科学的なモニタリングによって資源の抽出を調整することは可能であるものの、同専門家は、深刻な被害を避けるためにペルー国家が最大限の迅速さで行動しなければならないと警告した。

元高官は、これらの気候現象が海面温度を変化させるだけでなく、塩分濃度、海流の動き、種の通常の生息地をも修正し、そのアクセス性を低下または変化させると説明した。これに関連して、同氏はペルーにはアンチョベタ(カタクチイワシ、学名:Engraulis ringens)の2つの異なる系統(ストック)が存在すると詳述した。北部の系統は歴史的にエルニーニョによって非常に大きな影響を受ける一方、南部の系統は漁獲のための環境条件が改善するため、通常はその恩恵の一部を受ける傾向がある。

このシナリオを前に、アルフォンソ・ミランダ・エイサギレ氏は生産省(Produce)およびペルー海洋研究所(Imarpe)に対し、利用可能な期間が極めて短い、ホタテガイの一種(ペルーホタテ、学名:Argopecten purpuratus)やマグロなどのいわゆる「機会資源」を即座に評価するよう促した。

同氏がEXPRESOに語ったところによると、最大の要因は水産インフラの破壊にある。これには、沿岸小規模漁業の陸揚げ場、埠頭、アクセス道路、漁船、冷凍施設、および加工工場が含まれる。同様に、小規模な川や谷が海へと流れ込み、酸素濃度を低下させ、ペルーホタテなどの種のへい死を引き起こすため、浅海養殖(マリカルチャー)も被害を受ける可能性がある。

アルフォンソ・ミランダ・エイサギレ氏は、危機に瀕している経済的・社会的価値を強調した。ペルーの水産部門は昨年、約40億米ドルの輸出を記録し、そのうち20億米ドル以上が人間の消費向けの水産および養殖業のみによるものであった。同様に、この活動は15万人の直接雇用を創出し、乗数効果により、国内で100万人以上の人々を支えている。

現在のペルーにおける政権交代という背景において、元副大臣はより高い透明性と予防工事の進捗状況の公表を求め、次の政権が計画された執行を継続できるようにすることを要求した。さらに同氏は、降雨や海洋の変動が激化する前に、沿岸小規模漁業および産業施設を強化するための金融メカニズムやクレジット(融資)を政府が緊急に導入することを提案した。

南部における第2回漁期 これらの警告と時期を同じくして、生産省(Produce)は国の南部地域におけるアンチョベタおよびシロアンチョベタの第2回漁期の開始を正式に承認した。採捕活動は7月1日に開始され、12月31日まで、または総許容漁獲量上限(LMTCP)である25万1,000トンに達するまで継続される予定である。

この措置は、中規模のエルニーニョ現象の発生と、事前のモニタリングで記録された未成魚(幼魚)の高い混獲率を理由に、予防的アプローチを維持することを提案したImarpeの推奨に基づいている。現行の法的規制は、生物学的モニタリングの強化と、未成魚の高頻度な発生が検出された海域における一時的な禁漁区の設定を規定しており、水産資源の持続可能性の確保とストックの保存を目的としている。

阿尔方索·米兰达·エイサギレ针对秘鲁可能发生的厄尔尼诺事件:“国家必须保护渔业基础设施” 前渔业部副部长在接受《EXPRESO》采访时警告称,预防将避免渔业部门遭受更大的经济和社会损失

在最近接受秘鲁新闻媒体《EXPRESO》的采访时,前渔业部副部长阿尔方索·米兰达·エイサギレAlfonso Miranda Eyzaguirre)警告称,迫切需要预测可能发生的强厄尔尼诺现象对国家基础设施、手工捕捞和渔业工业带来的冲击。尽管科学监测将允许对资源捕捞进行调整,但该专家警告称,秘鲁国家必须以最快的速度采取行动,以避免严重破坏。

这位前官员解释说,这些气候现象不仅改变了海水温度,还改变了盐度、洋流运动以及物种的正常栖息地,降低或改变了它们的可捕捞性。对此,他详细说明了秘鲁存在两个不同的鳀鱼(学名:Engraulis ringens)种群:北部区域的种群在历史上受厄尔尼诺现象的影响非常严重,而南部区域的种群通常会获得部分利益,因为由于这些事件,捕捞环境条件得到了改善。

面对这一情况,阿尔方索·米兰达·エイサギレ敦促生产部(Produce)和秘鲁海洋研究院(Imarpe)立即评估所谓的“机会资源”——如扇贝(学名:Argopecten purpuratus)或金枪鱼,这些资源的利用窗口期非常短。

根据他向《EXPRESO》发表 commercial 的声明,主要风险在于渔业基础设施的破坏。最易受影响的是渔业基础设施:手工捕捞码头、码头、通道、船只、冷库和加工厂。同样,海水养殖(海产养殖)也可能受到损害,因为山谷泄洪排入大海,降低了氧气含量并导致扇贝等物种死亡。

阿尔方索·米兰达·エイサギレ强调了处于危险之中的经济和社会价值:秘鲁渔业部门去年的出口额约为40亿美元,其中超过20亿美元完全属于用于人类消费的捕捞和水产养殖。此外,该活动创造了15万个直接就业岗位,在乘数效应下,该国超过100万人依赖该部门。

面对当前秘鲁政府换届的背景,前副部长要求提高透明度并公布旨在减轻最终厄尔尼诺现象影响的预防工程进展,以便下一届管理层继续执行并避免该国因缺乏规划而再次面临危机和破坏。此外,他建议政府在降雨和海洋异常加剧之前,紧急实施融资机制和贷款,以加强手工和工业设施。

南部第二捕捞季 在这些警告的同时,生产部(Produce)正式批准在秘鲁南部地区开始鳀鱼和白鳀鱼的第二捕捞季。采掘活动定于7月1日开始,并将持续到12月31日,或者直到达到固定为25.1万吨的总允许捕捞量上限(LMTCP)。

该决定基于秘鲁海洋研究院(Imarpe)的建议,该研究院提出,由于中等强度的厄尔尼诺事件的发展以及在第一捕捞季期间记录的幼鱼高比例存在,应保持预防性方法。现行法规规定加强生物和环境监测,并在检测到高比例幼鱼的区域实施临时禁渔,以确保渔业资源的可持续性并保护种群。
