The Peruvian hake (Merluccius gayi peruanus) FIP is being implemented by 11 companies in the Peruvian fishing sector, with CeDePesca’s technical support. This FIP addresses the bottom-trawl industrial fishery that operates off of northern Peru.
The port of Paita accounts for almost all Peruvian landings, giving this fishery considerable socio-economic importance for that community. There is also an artisanal hake fishery in Peru (operating mainly with gillnets) that represents around 20% of total landings in recent years. On the other hand, part of the stock straddles between Peruvian and Ecuadorian waters, and it should be noted that Ecuador initiated a trawling fishery for hake in 2013, although its landings are currently not significant in comparison with Peruvian landings.
