Chile Central-South Araucanian herring and anchovy (Regions V-X) – purse seine

Overview

FIP Description 

The Chile Central-South Araucanian herring/common sardine and anchoveta fishery targets common sardine and anchovy in Regions V-X using purse seines. This is one of the most important fisheries in Chile, providing jobs for over 100,000 people and fishmeal for farmed salmon globally.  Key issues challenging this fishery include implementing an ecosystem-based approach to management as these are low trophic level species, assessing and mitigating bycatch, and reducing risk of IUU fishing.
