Small cetacean captures in Peruvian artisanal fisheries: High despite protective legislation
Biological Conservation, 2010We detail the first direct, at sea monitoring of small cetacean interactions with Peruvian artisanal drift gillnet and longline fisheries. A total of 253 small cetaceans were captured during 66 monitored fishing trips (Gillnet: 46 trips; Longline: 20 trips) from the port of Salaverry, northern Peru (8 o 14 0 S, 78 o 59 0 W) from March 2005 to July 2007.

Peruvian Fisheries: Conservation and Development
Economic Development and Cultural Change, 1973Peru became an overnight sensation in the realm of fishery statistics. Beginning with minimal production, Peru within a decade became the world's top producer of fish in 1962, surpassing even Japan, and has maintained that position every year since.

The Commercial Fishery of the Peruvian Amazon
Fisheries, 2004Abstract A combination of increased human population growth, high fish harvest pressure, and adoption of more technologically advanced fishing equipment by the commercial fleet has generated concerns about the sustainability of fish stocks in the Peruvian Amazon.

The effect of Peruvian small‐scale fisheries on sunfishes (Molidae)
Journal of Fish Biology, 2018Reports were compiled of sunfish (family Molidae) by‐catch in Peruvian small‐scale fisheries and sunfish by‐catch rates were estimated using data from shore‐based and onboard monitoring programmes. A total of 114 sunfishes were reported in the longline and gillnet fisheries along the Peru coast from 2005 to 2017.

With declining capture fisheries production, maintaining nutrient supplies largely hinges on substituting wild fish with economically comparable farmed animals. Although such transitions are increasingly commonplace across global inland and coastal communities, their nutritional consequences are unknown.

Modelling change in the Peruvian-Chilean Eastern Pacific Fisheries
GeoJournal, 1993Time-series analyses of the Peruvian-Chilean Eastern Pacific Fisheries output are presented. The paper discusses how human action and adverse environmental conditions have affected regional productivity levels and fish stock. It is shown that overfishing during critical environmental periods is the likely cause for fluctuations in regional output and ...

Communal Fisheries Management in the Peruvian Amazon
Human Organization, 1997Community-level management of lake fisheries is becoming an increasingly viable alternative in many areas of Amazona. Population growth and increased commercial fishing have led to intense competition and conflict over fishery resources. Conservation can only be successful in these competitive environments when resource management is adapted to solving

Interactions Between Leatherback Turtles and Peruvian Artisanal Fisheries
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2007ABSTRACT From 1985 to 1999, data were gathered opportunistically on the bycatch of 33 leatherback turtles in coastal Peru, and from 2000 to 2003, a dockside observer program provided data on an additional 133 leatherbacks caught in the coastal gillnet and longline fisheries targeting mahi mahi, sharks, and rays.

An illuminating idea to reduce bycatch in the Peruvian small-scale gillnet fishery
Biological Conservation, 2020Abstract Found in the coastal waters of all continents, gillnets are the largest component of small-scale fisheries for many countries. Numerous studies show that these fisheries often have high bycatch rates of threatened marine species such as sea turtles, small cetaceans and seabirds, resulting in possible population declines of these non-target ...
