Abstract

Industrial fishing in Peru, which is primarily export-oriented, is undermining the sustainability of fish stocks, mainly due to uncontrolled fishing to supply the fishmeal industry. Since virtually all species are used indiscriminately in fishmeal production, industrial fishing adversely affects marine biodiversity. It also disadvantages artisanal fishers, an important social sector that suffers from significant levels of poverty.
