Evolution and state of the art of fishing capacity management in Peru: The case of the anchoveta fishery (original) (raw)

Pan-American Journal of Aquatic Sciences

Abstract

The Peruvian anchoveta fishery began in the early 1950s and has become one of the most important fisheries in the world in terms of landings and fishmeal production. Fisheries management in Peru has evolved from regulated open access to recently introduced individual vessel quota management. This paper aims to examine the evolution of fishing capacity management and identify the management actions that have determined the current levels of fishing overcapacity. A lack of a solid policy to stop fishing capacity accumulation together with management susceptibility to industry pressure are likely the main causes of the historical levels of overcapacity, which has recently encouraged a drastic change in the management system. Resumen. Evolución y situación de la gestión de la capacidad de pesca en Perú: El caso de la pesquería de anchoveta. La pesquería de anchoveta peruana se inició a principios de los años cincuenta y se ha convertido en una de las pesquerías más importantes del mundo...
