Harvesting for food versus feed: a review of Peruvian fisheries in a global context
Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2013 Peru is the top exporter of fishmeal and fish oil (FMFO) worldwide and is responsible for half and a third of global production, respectively. Land- ings of ''anchoveta'' (Engraulis ringens) are used nearly exclusively for FMFO production, despite a proactive national food policy aimed at favoring the direct human consumption of this inexpensive ...
