Peru is one month into its second anchovy fishing season. As of November 20, a total of 802,346 tons had been caught in the central and northern regions, accounting for 48% of the total quota (1.68 million tons). Industry insiders remain cautiously optimistic about the remaining 52% quota.
Only 27 days into the fishing season, a warm "Kelvin wave" appeared in the fishing area, affecting the normal operations of fishing vessels.
The Peruvian National Marine and Hydrological Service (ENFEN) stated that the intensity of El Niño events has decreased recently, but it still has a certain impact. As summer approaches, changing ocean conditions are causing industry insiders to worry about remaining quotas. In addition to the Kelvin wave problem, rising seawater salinity in Peruvian waters has also slowed down fishing progress.
In Peru, fishmeal prices remain relatively high, while fish oil prices, which had hit record highs earlier this year, edged further higher due to low production. Currently, the price of CIF China's special-grade fishmeal is US$2,150/ton, the asking price of high-quality fishmeal is US$2,100/ton, and the price of standard-grade fishmeal is US$1,820/ton. Fish oil prices have reached new highs, with recent trade prices at $9,600/ton.
