Inexplicable have been the responses of the Minister of Production Piero Ghezzi, when he asserted forcefully that the quota for the first central-north 2016 season will be established this week, especially when Imarpe in its first report indicated that there were only 4 '423,000 MT of anchovy biomass, of which 30% was juvenile, so it was recommended that a new exploration should be carried out.
Worse still, his version falls into great doubt because it is unofficially known that a Joint acoustic exploration with Imarpe ships and SNP vessels in the north-central area of the Peruvian Sea to evaluate the behavior of Anchovy. One might ask Ñ—Why did the head of Produce assure that the decision will be made tomorrow, if he visibly does not have the results of the joint exploration? Ñ—Perhaps between roosters and midnight he already established those 2’000,000 or so of fishable quota?  Now, if the Minister already has an established quota Ñ—Why did he order у a joint exploration? Ñ—Does he want to cover something, so as not to be held responsible tomorrow?
Another point, which both the Minister of Production and the President of Imarpe are obliged to explain, is because "so-called" Brazilian scientists were hired, who are unaware of the Peruvian fishing reality, especially if the Institute of Mar del PerÑŠ should have scientists, specialists and technicians, experts in fishing matters, in addition to the fact that it was totally questionable that it was the technicians from the country of samba, who presented the scientific report to the businessmen, who when asking the questions They were stunned because none of the imported exhibitors knew how to respond.
It is worth noting that if it determines the start of the first fishing season, it would have to be done soon, so that it ends before the reproductive ban that begins at the end of August and extends throughout the month of September.
Just the Facts:
The fishing businessmen of Law 26920 are very concerned about the improper fishing permits that the Ministry of Production has issued, especially if there is a threat that 20% of the fishing quota they have will be recalculated.
