  • However this is compensated by good demand from Peru in 2015.

Anchovy/sardine:

  • Sea conditions affected fish availability and size, with lower than average quotas set
  • 2016 TAC for Centre-South 318,400 MT (conservative level), reviews expected after season start in March (2015: initial 352,000 MT, after two reviews with all quota caught 512,000 MT)
