Abstract

In Ecuador, chumumo or Regan’s anchovy (anchoa argentivittata) is a fish found in nearshore waters. Sold for artisanal fishmeal processing, it provides a vital source of income for many fisherwomen. The beach seine fishery for chumumo in turn supplies raw material to pamperas (artisanal fishmeal businesses), many of which operate clandestinely. In Manta, Montecristi and Jaramijó, there are reportedly 17 such pamperas —small plots of wasteland used for drying the ingredients used in artisanal fishmeal production.
