RIPLEY !! .. 3.2 million tonnes of anchovy were extinguished

Imarpe in summer 2014, estimated biomass of 6.6 million tonnes of anchovy and 7 months after claims that there is only 1.45 million tonnes of anchovy.

The scientific cruise north-central, conducted by the Instituto del Mar del Peru, Imarpe between August and October of this year, to assess the resource Peruvian Anchovy showed serious contradictions not only in the method used, also by failing to comply strictly with the

It is worth mentioning that the method of hydroacoustic assessment (using a scientific echo sounder echo-integrator), used in circumstances Sea suffers a slight warming of the surface and subsurface temperature (rated Child Moderate), and even more so if we add

Now about the protocol. – Report vol.

On the other hand, Imarpe knows, that fully met the protocol required to check if catches are minimal, you must repeat these sets also for transparency must publish screenshots haul by haul, including biological sampling and the number of specimens

It is worth remembering that Imarpe on the cruise conducted in the summer, beginning of 2014 was estimated at approximately a biomass of 6.6 million tonnes;

So if biomass NO HAS INCREASED 1 KILO (not logical to believe), and catches were 1.8 million should have in our Sea over 3.2 million tonnes of anchovy.

In conclusion, in the north-central area have practically “disappeared over 3 million tons Anchovies”.
