Abstract

The study undertaken for this report analysed the value chains of shark and ray non-fin commodities in Peru to determine trade, flow and context in terms of their economic, sociocultural and environmental characteristics and the conclusions of this diagnosis relate to the sustainable use and management of aquatic resources. Preliminary activities involved gathering and reviewing available background information to provide a basis for identifying and selecting elasmobranch commodity value chains and supply chain networks where surveys could potentially measure change in the relationships between aquatic resources, value chain actors and consumers. Surveys were subsequently designed to diagnose specific issues and, where possible, to assess knowledge gaps as a measure to reveal unknown and data-deficient value chain scenarios. The subsequent survey deployment stage captured both qualitative and quantitative data, which was then analysed in conjunction with the preliminary background information gathered to indicate trends, stakeholder relationships, and value chain diagnosis enabled issues at key points across the elasmobranch value chains to be identified. Results were categorized relating to specific commodity domains, stakeholder clusters, across value chain networks and cross-linked supply chain systems to determine the drivers of cause and effect which enabled leverage points to be identified which offer opportunities for adaptive management. Fisheries management recommendations are also concluded where value chain diagnosis indicated statistically significant results and scenarios relating to compliance.
