Monday, March 16, 2026, 07:00 (GMT + 9)

The measure establishes a quota of 68 367 tons for the first half of 2026, based on scientific criteria and resource sustainability

The Ministry of Production of Peru (PRODUCE) announced the establishment of a new catch limit for the resource bonito (Sarda chiliensis chiliensis), set at 68 367 tons for the period between January and June 2026.

The measure was made official through Ministerial Resolution No. 00070-2026-PRODUCE, with the objective of optimizing the social and economic use of this hydrobiological resource while ensuring the sustainability of the species and strengthening artisanal fishing along the Peruvian coast.

According to the regulation, the catch limit will apply exclusively to artisanal fishing vessels with a valid fishing permit, in line with government policies aimed at promoting the development of thousands of families who depend on this economic activity.

In addition, the decision is based on technical reports from the Peruvian Sea Institute (IMARPE), the institution responsible for assessing the status of marine resources and recommending management measures to ensure the sustainability of fisheries.

Quota distribution for the artisanal fleet

Within the framework of an adaptive and participatory management approach, PRODUCE established a differentiated distribution of the total catch volume, considering vessel hold capacity and the types of fishing gear used.

The 68 367 tons catch quota will be distributed as follows:

  • 29 170 tons for artisanal vessels operating with purse seine nets and having a hold capacity greater than 20 m³ and up to 32.6 m³.

  • 13 607 tons for purse seine vessels with a hold capacity between 10 m³ and 20 m³.

  • 17 831 tons for artisanal purse seine vessels with a hold capacity less than 10 m³.

  • 7 759 tons for vessels operating with gillnets (curtain nets) and other passive fishing gears.

This distribution seeks to ensure a more equitable participation of the different segments of the artisanal fleet, promoting greater fishing opportunities and better income for fishermen.

Resource sustainability and continuous monitoring

Minister of Production César Quispe Luján highlighted that the health of the bonito stock in Peruvian waters remains stable thanks to cooperation between authorities and the fishing sector.

“The bonito stock remains healthy thanks to the shared responsibility between the State and fishermen,” the minister stated.

According to scientific monitoring by IMARPE, the biomass of the resource is at optimal levels, allowing fishing opportunities to expand responsibly and within the limits recommended by scientific research.

Authorities also indicated that the catch limit may be adjusted during the year if biological, population, or environmental indicators require it, as part of the precautionary management of marine resources.

Economic importance of bonito in Peruvian fisheries

Bonito (Sarda chiliensis chiliensis) is a pelagic species belonging to the Scombridae family, widely distributed in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, from Peru to Chile, and represents one of the most important resources for artisanal fishing in the country.

Its catch mainly supplies the direct human consumption market and is highly demanded in local markets due to its high nutritional value and versatility in Peruvian gastronomy.

In recent years, the Peruvian government has implemented catch quotas, seasonal closures, and fishing effort controls in order to prevent overexploitation and ensure the continuity of this activity for future generations of fishermen.

PRODUCEがペルーの沿岸小規模漁業を強化するため、新たなカツオ漁獲上限を設定

この措置は 2026年 上半期に 68 367トン の漁獲枠を設定し、科学的基準と資源の持続可能性に基づいている

ペルー生産省(PRODUCE)は、資源であるカツオ(Sarda chiliensis chiliensis)の新たな漁獲上限を設定したと発表し、2026年1月から6月までの期間に68 367トンと定めた。

この措置は省令第00070-2026-PRODUCEによって正式化され、この水産資源の社会的・経済的利用を最適化するとともに、種の持続可能性を確保し、ペルー沿岸の小規模漁業の強化を図ることを目的としている。

同規定によれば、この漁獲上限は有効な漁業許可を持つ小規模漁船にのみ適用され、政府がこの経済活動に依存する数千の家族の発展を促進する政策と一致している。

さらに、この決定は海洋資源の状態を評価し、漁業の持続可能性を確保するための管理措置を提言する機関である**ペルー海洋研究所(IMARPE)**の技術報告に基づいている。

小規模漁船団への漁獲枠配分

適応的かつ参加型の資源管理アプローチの枠組みのもと、PRODUCEは船倉容量および使用される漁具の種類を考慮し、総漁獲量の差別化された配分を定めた。

68 367トンの漁獲枠は次のように配分される:

  • 29 170トン巻き網で操業し、船倉容量が20 m³を超え32.6 m³までの小規模漁船。

  • 13 607トン:船倉容量が10 m³から20 m³の巻き網漁船。

  • 17 831トン:船倉容量が10 m³未満の小規模巻き網漁船。

  • 7 759トン刺し網(カーテンネット)およびその他の受動的漁具で操業する漁船。

この配分は、小規模漁船団のさまざまなセグメントのより公平な参加を確保し、漁業者にとってより多くの漁獲機会と収入の向上を促進することを目的としている。

資源の持続可能性と継続的モニタリング

生産大臣セサル・キスペ・ルハンは、ペルー海域におけるカツオ資源の健全性は、当局と漁業セクターの協力によって安定していると強調した。

「カツオ資源のストックは、国家と漁業者の責任ある協力によって健全な状態を維持しています」と同大臣は述べた。

IMARPEによる科学的モニタリングによれば、この資源の生物量は最適な水準にあり、科学的研究が推奨する範囲内で責任ある形で漁業機会を拡大することが可能となっている。

当局はまた、生物学的、個体群的、または環境的指標が必要と判断された場合、海洋資源の予防的管理の一環として、この漁獲上限が年内に調整される可能性があることも明らかにした。

ペルー漁業におけるカツオの経済的重要性

カツオ(Sarda chiliensis chiliensis)サバ科(Scombridae)に属する回遊性の外洋魚であり、ペルーからチリまで南東太平洋に広く分布し、同国の小規模漁業にとって最も重要な資源の一つである。

その漁獲物は主に直接食用消費向けに供給され、栄養価の高さとペルー料理における多用途性から、国内市場で非常に需要が高い。

近年、ペルー政府は漁獲枠、季節的禁漁、漁業努力量の管理などの措置を適用し、過剰漁獲を防ぎ、将来世代の漁業者のためにこの活動の継続性を確保している。

PRODUCE设定新的鲣鱼捕捞上限以加强秘鲁手工渔业

该措施为 2026年 上半年设定 68 367吨 的捕捞配额,并以科学标准和资源可持续性为基础

秘鲁生产部(PRODUCE)宣布为资源鲣鱼(Sarda chiliensis chiliensis)设立新的捕捞上限,规定在2026年1月至6月期间为68 367吨

该措施通过第00070-2026-PRODUCE号部长决议正式公布,旨在优化这一水生生物资源的社会与经济利用,同时确保物种的可持续性,并加强秘鲁沿海的手工渔业。

根据该法规,该捕捞上限仅适用于持有有效捕捞许可的手工渔船,符合政府推动依赖这一经济活动的数千家庭发展的政策。

此外,该决定基于**秘鲁海洋研究所(IMARPE)**的技术报告,该机构负责评估海洋资源状况并提出管理措施,以确保渔业的可持续性。

手工渔船队配额分配

适应性和参与式资源管理方法的框架下,PRODUCE根据船舱容量和所使用的渔具类型,制定了总捕捞量的差异化分配。

68 367吨的捕捞配额分配如下:

  • 29 170吨:用于使用围网作业且船舱容量大于20 m³且不超过32.6 m³的手工渔船。

  • 13 607吨:用于船舱容量在10 m³至20 m³之间的围网渔船。

  • 17 831吨:用于船舱容量小于10 m³的手工围网渔船。

  • 7 759吨:用于使用刺网(帘式网)及其他被动渔具作业的渔船。

这种分配旨在确保手工渔船队不同群体之间更加公平的参与,并为渔民创造更多捕捞机会和更好的收入。

资源可持续性与持续监测

生产部长塞萨尔·基斯佩·卢汉强调,秘鲁海域鲣鱼资源的健康状况保持稳定,这得益于政府与渔业部门之间的合作。

“鲣鱼资源的存量保持健康,这归功于国家与渔民之间的共同责任,”部长表示。

根据IMARPE的科学监测,该资源的生物量处于最佳水平,这使得在科学研究建议的范围内,以负责任和可持续的方式扩大捕捞机会成为可能。

当局还指出,如果生物学、种群或环境指标需要,该捕捞上限可能在年度内进行调整,作为海洋资源预防性管理的一部分。

鲣鱼在秘鲁渔业中的经济重要性

鲣鱼(Sarda chiliensis chiliensis)是一种属于鲭科(Scombridae)的远洋鱼类,广泛分布于东南太平洋,从秘鲁到智利,是该国手工渔业最重要的资源之一。

其捕捞产品主要供应直接食用消费市场,由于其高营养价值以及在秘鲁美食中的多样用途,在国内市场需求旺盛。

近年来,秘鲁政府实施了捕捞配额、季节性禁渔以及捕捞强度控制等措施,以防止过度捕捞,并确保这一活动能够为未来世代的渔民持续发展。
