"If the dawn of modern humanity was prompted by the availability of nourishing fat, then the 21st century may repeat the story, only this time thru a fun house mirror. An obesity epidemic looms today just as surely as a hunger crisis multiply" Andy Sharpless, The Perfect Protein". It is absurd to use transform 98 % of this resource to feed less nutritional food sources.

1. Anchoveta Peruana (FAO)
15-20cms.
A TINY HUGE OPPORTUNITY
Científic Name: Engraulis Ringens
Common namen: Anchoveta
English name: Anchovy
FAO name : Anchoveta Peruana.
The Peruvian anchoveta fishery is the second largest national fleet worldwide after China targeting a single
species, with catches averaging six million tons over the last four years, all its catch is done off the Peruvian
coast : The Humbolt Current Large Marine Ecosystem (HCLME). Unlike China, who fishes all over the word.

2. The anchovy is the key
species that sustains the
HCLME
Over exploitation & over capacity is
having a negative impact on other
goods & services of the economy
The depletion of the anchovy biomass is
having disastrous effect on the HCLME

3. EFFECT OF OVER EXPLOTATION & OVER CAPACITY ON HCLME
 Reducing trend of the Anchoveta Biomass:
 Decrease production of organic fertilizer: guano
 Decrease population of tourist attraction species.
 Decrease catch of other species for DHC.
 DHC Fish Prices 4 times higher than the CPI in the last 3 years
 10-30% reduction in size of other species
 Negative impact on gastronomic industrty.

 IHC employs 26,655 (fishermen &
factory).
 DHC employs 191,000 (fishermen,
factory workers, distribution and
commercial chains).
 16%-19% of total foreign exchange.
