Peruvian seafood exports totaled US$ 2,977 million between January and August 2026, representing a 13.3% drop compared to the same period of the previous year, according to figures from the Association of Exporters (ADEX).

The trade association warned that shipments would close the year in the red due to the impact of El Niño, pointing out that up to 80,000 jobs linked to the industry could be at risk if the stoppage of part of the fleet is prolonged.

Uncertainty is concentrated on the upcoming anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) season: a delayed opening or a lower quota could extend downtime and drive up corporate operating costs. The figures and projections correspond to ADEX and require verification against official statistics.

To assess the requested injunction, the court has officially incorporated scientific reports from INIDEP and satellite tracking records from the Argentine Naval Prefecture's Guardacostas system.
