\nGear type:\u00a0<\/strong>Purse seine
\nFishing Area:<\/strong>\u00a0FAO Area 34.1. Atlantic Eastern Central<\/h5>\n
Fishery management<\/strong>: The Institut National de Recherche Halieutique (INRH) is the scientific institute in charge of assessing the stocks of small pelagics in Morocco (http:\/\/www.inrh.ma\/petits-pelagiques<\/a>).<\/h5>\n
The Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF) keeps under review the state of the fishery resources within its area of competence and establishes the scientific basis for regulatory measures leading to the conservation and management of marine fishery resources.<\/h5>\n
The strategic plan developed by Morocco for small pelagic stocks guarantees sustainable exploitation of this resource. Launched in February 2010, the plan has introduced management measures to manage permitted fishing areas, species and gears, operating procedures for the different fleets and measures to monitor catches.<\/h5>\n
Stock Status<\/strong>: According to the INRH (2012), the European anchovy stock in FAO area 34.1 is estimated to be fully exploited (http:\/\/www.inrh.ma\/fr\/petits-pelagiques\/diagnostic-de-letat-dexploitation-des-stocks<\/a>).<\/h5>\n
According to the latest CECAF report of the Scientific Sub-Committee (2015), the\u00a0E. encrasicolus<\/em>\u00a0stock in the North Fishery is overexploited and the biomass level is unknown.<\/h5>\n
Habitat impact:\u00a0<\/strong>This fishery uses purse seines, which do not interact with the seabed and hence have no negative impact.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Discards<\/strong>: The local law sets the discard limit to 2%. Moroccan authorities control and weight each landing.<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Certified species: Scientific name \/ Common name<\/strong><\/p>\n

Engraulis ringens<\/em> \/ Peruvian anchovy (anchoveta)<\/p>\n

Trachurus murphyi<\/em>\u00a0 \/ Chilean jack mackerel<\/p>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both fisheries are managed under Chile’s General Fisheries and Aquaculture Law (LGPA, Law No. 18.892 of 1989) by SUBPESCA, with monitoring, control, and enforcement by Sernapesca. Management relies on annual catch quotas, reproductive and recruitment closures, minimum landing sizes (26 cm fork length for jack mackerel), gear rules, and the Artisanal Fishing Reserve Area (ARPA). Annual stock assessments by IFOP and SUBPESCA set MSY-based reference points within a precautionary approach.<\/p>\n

Jack mackerel is also managed internationally by SPRFMO (CMM 01-2026). Chile’s quota derives from the SPRFMO TAC, revised to 1,105,464 t for 2026. Anchovy is a shared stock with Peru; IFOP and IMARPE meet yearly to exchange data and research.<\/p>\n

Compliance is ensured through VMS, the electronic logbook system (SIBE), landing inspections and on-board cameras accessible to Sernapesca. Corpesca’s catches are reconciled against its company quota (2025 allocation: 113,770.8 t anchovy). The jack mackerel fishery has a dedicated management plan (Resolution No. 4344).<\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both stocks are neither overfished nor subject to overfishing, according to the reference values<\/p>\n

Engraulis ringens<\/em> F\/FMSY 0.66 B\/BMSY 1.63, Trachurus murphyi<\/em> F\/FMSY 0.40, B\/BMSY 2.29<\/p>\n

The 2025 SPRFMO\/IMARPE annual report on jack mackerel gives F = 0.19, below FMSY, with total and spawning biomass above MSY levels. Stock status is published yearly in SUBPESCA’s \u201cStatus of the Main Chilean Fisheries\u201d (2025 edition, March 2026).<\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discards are prohibited by Chilean law, so all catch is landed and recorded in official Sernapesca landing declarations. The main bycatch species in the jack mackerel fishery is Pacific chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), not listed as Vulnerable or higher by IUCN. Example: landing declaration No. 482440 (Trueno I, 18\u201321 August 2026) records 103.6 t of jack mackerel and 27.5 t of chub mackerel.<\/p>\n

Corpesca applies an industry Good Fishing Practices Manual with release procedures for sea lions, dolphins, seabirds and turtles: a bird net, boards for sea lions and a rubber stretcher for dolphins. Animals are released before pumping; interactions are logged and recorded by on-board cameras. Observers were present on Intrepido and Corpesca 2, and the manual prohibits shark finning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Habitat impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Impact on the seabed, essential habitats, and vulnerable marine ecosystems is negligible: the purse seine operates in the water column with no intentional contact with the seabed. Fishing complies with Marine Protected Area regulations, verified through VMS monitoring by Sernapesca and against MPAtlas. Fishing zones are recorded in all official landing documents.<\/p>\n

No gear loss has been recorded in the fleet. Nets are reinforced, routinely tested, and repaired at Corpesca’s net maintenance area; end-of-life nets are sold to artisanal fishers for reuse. Lost gear would be positioned, reported to the authority, and recovered where possible.<\/p>\n

Social accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corpesca complies with all FOS social accountability requirements; the audit found no major or minor non-conformities. The company employs 586 people (Santiago 36, Arica 153, Iquique 252, Mejillones 145).<\/p>\n

Child and forced labour: Chile has ratified the relevant ILO conventions. Crew lists with dates of birth confirm no minors on board; the Code of Ethics and signed declarations exclude forced labour.<\/p>\n

Wages: pay slips for crew of the four company vessels (August 2026) show salaries well above the 2026 Chilean minimum wage of CLP 539,000\/month.<\/p>\n

Health and safety: all staff are covered through ACHS affiliation. An occupational health and safety system (SGSSO), crew training, PPE, H\u2082S monitoring, and accident records are in place.<\/p>\n

Freedom of association and non-discrimination: workers may join unions and bargain collectively under Law 19.069; the Code of Ethics prohibits discrimination.<\/p>\n

Rights on board: crew have cabins, a kitchen, a rest area, toilets, showers, and bottled drinking water.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Fishery management:<\/strong>\u00a0The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) is the regional fishery management organisation in charge of the assessment of the size and state of European anchovy stocks in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea (FAO 37). The fisheries operations in Turkey are regulated by the Turkish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock.<\/h5>\n
Stock Status:\u00a0<\/strong>There are uncertainties about the stock status of\u00a0Engraulis encrasicolus<\/em>\u00a0in the Black Sea due to high seasonal variation and the short lifespan of the species. Despite the assessment uncertainties, a noticeable increase in the recruitment is evident in the last years (2012-2013).<\/h5>\n
Moreover, the general trend in the last ten years indicates a slight decrease in the fishing mortality. This is the consequence of the effort regulation measures recently enforced by Turkey, namely restriction the anchovy fishery to night hours only (16:00 to 08:00) since 2007, setting a depth limit (0-24m) for purse seining, and by the buyback program launched in 2012.<\/h5>\n
Discard and bycatch:<\/strong>\u00a0The use of purse seine ensures low levels of discard and bycatch. Mesh and net size are regulated by the local institution and they play an important role in the discard management.<\/h5>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The\u00a0Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAMA) is assigned with task to undertake strategies for the fisheries sector development. The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is a global organization that develops science and advice to support the sustainable use of the oceans. In 2017, a catch limit of 33,000 tonnes was established.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Stock status summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
According to the ICES advice on fishing opportunities, the spawning-stock biomass (SSB) of anchovy in subarea 8 has been above the limit reference point since 2010. Recruitment and SSB have been well above the historical average in recent years. The incoming recruitment in 2017 is above average. Harvest rates since the reopening of the fishery in 2010 have been below average.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Bycatch \/ discards<\/strong><\/h5>\n
According to the ICES advice on fishing opportunities, discarding is considered to be negligible. According to the auditor, the fleet keeps records of accidental catches without records of species listed in the IUCN Red list. In the correction plan for the NCs detected, the company has established a procedure to reduce accidental catches.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Habitat Impact\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The vessels operate with GPS in order to avoid marine protected areas. The fishing method has no impact on the seabed. According to the auditor, the on-board staff is well formed and has a strong awareness of the potential risks and impacts. In the correction plan for the NCs detected, the absence of procedures were corrected.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Social Accountability performance<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fleet complies with the human rights and labour regulations of Spain.<\/h5>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Conclusion with reasons for approval<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Despite of several major non-conformities, the fleet complies with Friend of the Sea requirements, since the company corrected all of the non-conformities appointed by the auditor within 3 months of the audit.<\/h5>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The National Office of Fisheries (ONP) is a Moroccan public institution that, under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Maritime Fisheries (MADRPM), is assigned with task to undertake strategies for the fisheries sector development. The Department of Marine Fisheries (DPM) controls the vessels in relation at security, people on board, gears and license, while ONP controls unloading, sizes and quantities. The National Institute of fisheries research (Institut National de Recherche Halieutique: INRH) monitors the resources of small pelagics. Since 2015, there is a management plan for small pelagics. The project is planned to last until 2020. The Moroccan fisheries management plan is reviewed annually in agreement with the board of the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF).<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Stock status summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
According to INRH, in the Central Atlantic, the biomass of 2016 is below the average of the last 5 years (0.073 thousand tonnes) and the stock is considered fully exploited, with fishing mortality close to the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). In South Atlantic, the estimated biomass is currently 15% higher than in 2015 and the stock is considered fully exploited. The minimum legal size of anchovy is 60\u201363 mm.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Bycatch \/ discards<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fishing method used allows accidental catches to remain alive. A sonar system is in place to locate the schools and avoid non-target species. All vessels are obliged to declare all the catch (quantities and species), under the supervision of the agents of the ONP. The reported accidental catch species are not included in the IUCN Red List. The Moroccan authority allows an amount of 3% of bycatch, except for Boops boops that has an allowed rate set at 10%.<\/h5>\n
<\/div>\n
Habitat Impact<\/strong><\/h5>\n
All vessels are monitored in real time by the competent authority through the vessel monitoring system (VMS). Fisheries occur outside of Marine Protected Areas, respecting the authorized distance from the shore (3 miles). Purse seine fishing has no impact on the seabed.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Social Accountability performance<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fleet complies with the human rights and labour regulations of Morocco.<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion with reasons for approval<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fleet complies with Friend of the Sea requirements, without any non-conformities.

Fishery management<\/strong>: The Institut National de Recherche Halieutique (INRH) is the scientific institute in charge of assessing the stocks of small pelagics in Morocco (http:\/\/www.inrh.ma\/petits-pelagiques<\/a>).<\/h5>\n
The Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF) keeps under review the state of the fishery resources within its area of competence and establishes the scientific basis for regulatory measures leading to the conservation and management of marine fishery resources.<\/h5>\n
The strategic plan developed by Morocco for small pelagic stocks guarantees sustainable exploitation of this resource. Launched in February 2010, the plan has introduced management measures to manage permitted fishing areas, species and gears, operating procedures for the different fleets and measures to monitor catches.<\/h5>\n
Habitat impact:\u00a0<\/strong>This fishery uses purse seines, which do not interact with the seabed and hence have no negative impact.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Discards<\/strong>: The local law sets the discard limit to 2%. Moroccan authorities control and weight each landing.<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

<\/h5>\n
The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) is the regional fishery management organisation in charge of the assessment of the size and state of European anchovy stocks in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea (FAO 37). GFCM is in charge also of ensuring the sustainability of fisheries activities through the adoption of adequate management measures.<\/h5>\n
The Italian authority responsible for the supervision and management of fisheries is the General Fisheries directorate-general of the Ministry of Agriculture.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Stock Status<\/b><\/h5>\n
The most recent stock assessment results were published in 2016, and refer to data collected in 2015.<\/h5>\n
The average fishing mortality increased constantly up to 2011, when reached the maximum value of 1.006. It started to decrease afterwards to 2013 (0.91) and then it increased again reaching the value of 0.99 in 2015, indicating that the resource is currently subjected to overexploitation.<\/h5>\n
The spawning stock biomass (SBB) was estimated at 86 595 t in 2015. As the target reference point is set at 45 936 t, the stock is overexploited.<\/h5>\n
Discard and bycatch:<\/b><\/h5>\n
The use of purse seine ensures low levels of discard and bycatch. Discards level below 1% are reported by the GFCM assessment in 2015. There are no records of protected species affected by this fishery.<\/h5>\n

Management summary<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The fishing of anchoveta in Peru is managed and controlled by the Peruvian Government, which establishes quotas and fishing seasons.<\/p>\n

The IMARPE \u2013 Instituto del Mar del Peru is the agency that publishes research and fishing data about the main economic species of the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Peruvian government following IMARPE recommendations determines the fishing seasons and quotas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The government authorizes the fishing seasons for anchoveta by issuing a decree from the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE).\u00a0<\/span>There are two fishing seasons per year.<\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The IMARPE possesses research boats that do investigation cruises to do stock assessments prior to determining the start and duration of the fishing season and the quotas.<\/p>\n

The stock status is assessed based on real-time monitoring, which consists of direct biomass estimates and distribution from acoustic surveys prior each fishing season, and monitoring of oceanographic conditions, samplings for size structure and reproductive and somatic conditions, before and during fishing seasons, to account for the rapid fluctuations in the natural biomass of this resource.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stock status is assessed based on real-time monitoring, which consists of direct biomass estimates and distribution from acoustic surveys prior each fishing season, and monitoring of oceanographic conditions, samplings for size structure and reproductive and somatic conditions, before and during fishing seasons, to account for the rapid fluctuations in the natural biomass of this resource.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last IMARPE stock assessments showed a Biomass estimation of 7.180.472 metric tons for the second season of 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the interpretation of IMARPE, who issues the fishing quotas based on the constant monitoring of the stocks,\u00a0E.ringens\u00a0<\/i>is not being overfished.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Imarpe has several research boats that do investigations about the target species on the Peruvian ocean to do an assessment of their stocks to release the fishing quotas.<\/span>The fishing method used is the Purse Seine, where the net is closed into a circle, to catch the fish. The fish caught in the net is pumped up to the boat. On the tip of the pumping tube, there is a metal excluder to avoid the suction of bigger fish or mammals. Whenever a smaller predator, mammal or turtle is sucked up to the boat, they are released back to the ocean.\u00a0According to the sampling done by the organization and Produce`s inspectors, the bycatch is below 5% of the total.<\/p>\n

Habitat impact:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>The fishing method used by Pesquera Centinela is the purse seine.\u00a0<\/span>The net measures on average 650 meters in length by 110 meters to 110 meters deep.\u00a0The fishing is done in areas at five miles minimum distance from the shore. In this area, the sea bottom is much deeper than the depth of the nets.\u00a0The nets almost never touch the bottom of the ocean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\u00a0<\/span>Management summary<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

In Per\u00f9, the anchovy stock is
\nassessed by the Instituto del Mar del Peru (IMARPE). They carry out the
\nhydroacoustic assessment cruises of pelagic fisheries (anchovy) twice a year
\n(April and November) by means of 02 scientist vessels BICs Jos Olaya Balandra
\nand Humboldt to determine the anchovy stock in order to establish the national
\nfishing quota and to ensure the preservation of the anchovy resource. Since
\n2015 IMARPE published their methodology for generating total permissible catch
\nrecommendations. When considered alongside regular reports summarising the
\noutcomes of hydro-acoustic research cruises and others detailing the process by
\nwhich the results of these cruises and length-frequency sampling are used to
\ngenerate catch recommendations. The results of the decision-making process are
\nprovided on the PRODUCE website.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Stock status summary:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The stock under consideration is not
\noverfished. The anchovy stock is monitored and assessed by the scientific
\nauthority in Peru, the Instituto del Mar del Peru (IMARPE) they issue official
\nreports with the results, conclusions, and recommendations, which are
\nofficially implemented by the Production Ministry to ensure the surveillance of
\nthe catching quotas and for the anchovy preservation.\u00a0<\/span>IMARPE is responsible for the assessment of Peruvian anchovy populations based
\non direct and indirect methods. Fishery-dependent data are collected when catch
\nis landed and on board vessels at sea, and include effort data.\u00a0Fisheryindependent hydro-acoustic surveys are also carried out regularly. The
\nstock is assessed at least twice per year by real monitoring estimating biomass
\nin the surveys and using integrated population models. Spawning areas are
\nidentified\u00a0and Spawning Stock Biomass (SSB) is estimated using the Egg-Production Method
\n(EPM).<\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>The accident catches not
\ninclude species listed in the IUCN red List of endangered species as Vulnerable
\nor higher risk. Peruvian law allows just a maximum 5% of non-target species bycatch
\nin weight in this fishery.<\/span>Peruvian
\nlegislation, based on the IUCN Red List, prohibits the capture of protected
\nspecies (seabirds, turtles, and marine mammals) for commercial purposes,
\nincluding Peruvian Diving Petrel, Humboldt penguin, Guanay cormorant, pelican,
\nPeruvian booby, green sea turtle, South American sea lion and Southern fur
\nseal. Commercial catch, processing, and marketing of small cetaceans have been
\nprohibited by national law since the mid-1990s (PERU 1996).<\/p>\n


\nHabitat impact:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0The fishing vessels are implemented with fishing nets to catch pelagic
\nresources according to Peruvian legislation R.M 225-2001-PE Purse net maximum
\nlength and depth (fathoms) based on the vessels\u2019 hold capacity. These fishing
\nnets are officially verified to ensure compliance with the legislation. The
\nfleet of Pesquera Hayduk just performs the catching operations out 5 miles from
\nthe coastline and at more than 50 fathoms of depth (fathom = 6 feet), which is
\none of the policy\u2019s commitments to prevent any damage to the seabed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery is managed by the Peruvian Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), based on scientific advice and acoustic surveys conducted by IMARPE. Fishing seasons and quotas are established after reviewing information on acoustic biomass, stock distribution, reproductive condition, size structure and oceanographic conditions. Management measures are published through official resolutions and reviewed before each fishing season.<\/p>\n

Controls include seasonal openings, total and vessel-specific quotas, minimum fish sizes, mesh and net requirements, a five-nautical-mile coastal exclusion zone, protected-area restrictions, digital fishing logbooks and real-time satellite monitoring. TASA applies an internal six-nautical-mile fishing limit and operates a control centre that monitors vessel positions, catches and unloading ports.<\/p>\n

The available information mainly describes national management. It does not clearly demonstrate the existence of a bilateral or regional management arrangement for the potentially transboundary southern anchovy stock; requirement 5.1.1b refers instead to the allocation of fishing zones between industrial and artisanal vessels<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Available information from 2021 and 2022 classified the anchovy resources as not overexploited and not overfished. The acoustic biomass of anchovy in the north-central region was estimated at 6,826,839 tonnes on 1 November 2022.<\/p>\n

For the southern region, biomass at the end of 2021 was reported to be around the level associated with maximum sustainable yield, while fishing mortality was below the MSY-related rate. The southern information was applied to both Engraulis ringens and Anchoa nasus.<\/p>\n

Stock management relied mainly on acoustic biomass estimates and real-time monitoring of biological and oceanographic conditions before and during each fishing season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bycatch and discards are recorded in the electronic fishing logbook for each fishing trip, and the information is submitted to PRODUCE. The principal associated species identified is chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), which may represent up to 5% of an individual vessel landing and is retained for fishmeal and fish-oil production.<\/p>\n

A metal excluder fitted to the fish-pumping system prevents larger fish and marine animals from entering the vessel. Dolphins, turtles and other animals accidentally brought on board are released following the company\u2019s rescue, handling and release guide. Crews also record marine-fauna sightings through the Cuidamar programme.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Habitat impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seine is a pelagic fishing method with relatively low direct impact on benthic habitats. Fishing is legally permitted beyond five nautical miles from the coast, while TASA applies an internal six-mile limit. The nets normally operate above the seabed because most fishing grounds are deeper than the maximum net depth.<\/p>\n

In northern fishing grounds, the seabed may be shallower and occasional net contact may occur, although this was considered infrequent and negligible. Protected areas and permitted fishing zones are identified on vessel maps and monitored through satellite controls. TASA also maintains a fisheries team that reviews potential ecosystem impacts using information from IMARPE, FAO and other scientific sources.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Social accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

TASA reported 2,678 employees, including 1,148 fishermen. No employees under 18 were identified, and the youngest fleet worker reviewed was 24 years old. A collective bargaining agreement between the fishermen\u2019s union and the vessel owners\u2019 association was reviewed and was valid for five years from 23 November 2022.<\/p>\n

At the time of the assessment, the Peruvian minimum wage was PEN 1,025 per month. The lowest-paid fleet position reviewed averaged approximately PEN 1,590 per month, supported by a sampled payslip. TASA provided a permanent doctor and nurse during the fishing season, national healthcare and social-security contributions, and occupational safety and PPE training. The sampled payslip recorded an Essalud contribution equivalent to 8.1% of the worker\u2019s salary.<\/p>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The National Office of Fisheries (ONP) is a Moroccan public institution that, under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Maritime Fisheries (MADRPM), is assigned with task to undertake strategies for the fisheries sector development. The Department of Marine Fisheries (DPM) controls the vessels in relation at security, people on board, gears and license, while ONP controls unloading, sizes and quantities. The National Institute of fisheries research (Institut National de Recherche Halieutique: INRH) monitors the resources of small pelagics. Since 2015, there is a management plan for small pelagics. The project is planned to last until 2020. The Moroccan fisheries management plan is reviewed annually in agreement with the board of the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF).<\/h5>\n

\nStock status summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
In the Central Atlantic, the biomass evaluated in 2016 is 33% lower compared to the level of 2015 and the stock is considered fully exploited. In the South Atlantic, compared to the 2015 data, the stock showed a reduction in the number of individuals and an increase in the weight gain of the anchovy population; the stock is considered fully exploited. The minimum legal size of anchovy is 1-13 cm.<\/h5>\n

\nBycatch \/ discards<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fishing method used allows accidental catches to remain alive. A sonar system is in place to locate the schools and avoid non-target species. All vessels are obliged to declare all the catch (quantities and species). Accidental catches are monitored by the ONP and DPM. According to the auditor, the amount of discards is considered negligible. There is a maximum level of 3% of discards allowed.<\/h5>\n

\nHabitat Impact<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The position of the vessels is monitored by the competent authority through GPS. Fisheries occur outside of Marine Protected Areas, respecting the authorized distance from the shore (3 miles). Purse seine fishing has a negligible impact on the seabed.<\/h5>\n

\nSocial Accountability performance<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fleet complies with the human rights and labour regulations of Morocco.<\/h5>\n

\nConclusion with reasons for approval<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fleet complies with Friend of the Sea requirements, without any non-conformities.<\/h5>\n

Fishing vessels:\u00a0<\/strong>Eleven Peruvian purse seiners. Vessels audited on site: Renzo, Calamar, and Halc\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Fishing method:\u00a0<\/strong>Purse seine<\/p>\n

Certified species:\u00a0<\/strong>Engraulis ringens<\/em> \/ Peruvian anchoveta<\/p>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery is managed by the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) under the General Fisheries Law and the anchoveta fishing regulations for indirect human consumption (D.S. 005-2012-PRODUCE). The Instituto del Mar del Per\u00fa (IMARPE) carries out the stock assessments and provides scientific advice, and the national fisheries health agency (SANIPES) supervises food safety. Management is based on two fishing seasons a year, opened by ministerial resolution after IMARPE acoustic surveys. Each season has a Maximum Total Allowable Catch Limit (LMTCP): for the North-Central stock it was 2,430,499 t in the first season of 2024 and 2,510,000 t in the second (R.M. 00419-2024-PRODUCE).<\/p>\n

Other measures include closed seasons, a minimum landing size of 12 cm with a tolerance for juveniles (R.M. 209-2001-PE), the 13 mm minimum mesh size, a 5% bycatch tolerance per landing, and the first 5 nautical miles reserved for artisanal fishing. Rules on approaching cetaceans also apply (R.M. 451-2019-PRODUCE). All vessels carry the SITRAPESCA satellite tracking system (D.S. 029-2005-PRODUCE), use official logbooks, and are checked by PRODUCE inspectors at every landing, where declared and landed catch are compared. The audit found no vessels flying a flag of convenience or on IUU lists.<\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMARPE assesses the North-Central stock of Peruvian anchoveta before each season through hydroacoustic surveys and publishes the results. Its report of October 2024 estimated the stock biomass at 7,818,904 t, and the second-season catch limit of 2,510,000 t was set on this basis. The catch limits are adjusted each season to the estimated biomass. According to the audit, the stock is not overexploited.<\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bycatch is recorded for each fishing trip in the official landing control records (\u201cReporte de faena y calas\u201d) and checked by PRODUCE inspectors. The trip reports reviewed by the auditor showed almost exclusively anchoveta, and no discards were found. The legal bycatch tolerance is 5% of the landed weight, discard handling follows the protocols set by D.S. 005-2017-PRODUCE, and IMARPE publishes catch and bycatch data. The company has a procedure for protecting endangered species, under which protected species caught by accident are released and recorded. During the audit period one shark caught by an industrial vessel was released alive.<\/p>\n

Habitat Impact\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seines are used in the water column and do not normally touch the seabed. The anchoveta fishery takes place in open fishing areas, not in protected areas, and compliance is monitored through SITRAPESCA tracking data that PRODUCE reviews remotely.<\/p>\n

The company has a procedure for recovering fishing gear (PCOP-P-GP-0603), and crews must report any lost net to the maritime authority; no gear losses have been recorded. Trips last at most one day, so little waste is produced. Plastic waste and worn-out gear are landed for recycling under a waste management procedure (PCOP-P-GP-0605). Only biodegradable cleaning products are used on board, and process water from the plant is biologically treated before being discharged through a 10 km submarine outfall. Most vessels have no refrigeration; Don Lucho uses ammonia, which does not deplete the ozone layer. Energy use by the plant and the vessels is recorded, and the company is enrolled in the national Huella de Carbono Per\u00fa programme (MINAM) to calculate its carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

Social Accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chimbote plant employs 108 people, and the fleet has 167 crew (90 on the Los Halcones vessels and 77 on the Humacare vessels). The audit found the company compliant with all social accountability requirements, with no non-conformities. Records showed no workers under 18, the legal minimum working age. Sampled payslips showed wages above the national minimum wage (1,025 soles\/month, D.S. 003-2022-TR), with health (9%) and pension contributions paid. The company has occupational risk prevention staff, hazard assessments, accident statistics and PPE, including UV protection. Interviewed workers confirmed freedom of association (Legislative Decree 728), voluntary overtime and no discrimination, and the vessels have showers, food, water and rest areas.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Fishery management:<\/strong>\u00a0Engraulis ringens<\/em>\u00a0is one of the most intensely fished species in this area. The stock is monitored by the FAO and by the Subsecretary for fishery and aquaculture of Chile. The latter monitors the stock and sets the individual quotas each vessel can fish annually based on the outcome of the assessment. Quotas are set for industrial fleets and artesanal fleets. Each vessel has a GPS system on board that allows their localisation at any time. This system also assists fishermen in identifying the areas where fishing is forbidden.<\/h5>\n
Stock Status:\u00a0<\/strong>According to the latest assessment (CCT-PP. 2017), the stock was overfished and overexploited in 2016. According to the information collected during the audit, the fishing fleets and artesanal fleets under consideration do not catch more than 10% of the total catch of anchovy permitted under the quota system.<\/h5>\n
Discard:<\/strong>\u00a0The fishing activity does not produce any discard as the bycatch mainly consists on mackerel, which is retained and sold to the local market. Furthermore industrial vessels have an ecosonar onboard which assists in identifying the average size of the fish in the school in order to avoid catching too young individuals.<\/h5>\n

Fishery management:<\/strong>\u00a0The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) is the regional fishery management organisation in charge of the assessment of the size and state of European anchovy stocks in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea (FAO 37). The fisheries operations in Turkey are regulated by the Turkish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock.<\/h5>\n
Stock Status:\u00a0<\/strong>There are uncertainties about the stock status of\u00a0Engraulis encrasicolus<\/em>\u00a0in the Black Sea due to high seasonal variation and the short lifespan of the species. Despite the assessment uncertainties, a noticeable increase in the recruitment is evident in the last years (2012-2013).<\/h5>\n
Moreover, the general trend in the last ten years indicates a slight decrease in the fishing mortality. This is the consequence of the effort regulation measures recently enforced by Turkey, namely restriction the anchovy fishery to night hours only (16:00 to 08:00) since 2007, setting a depth limit (0-24m) for purse seining, and by the buyback program launched in 2012.<\/h5>\n
Discard and bycatch:<\/strong>\u00a0The use of purse seine ensures low levels of discard and bycatch. Mesh and net size are regulated by the local institution and they play an important role in the discard management.<\/h5>\n

<\/h5>\n
The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) is the regional fishery management organisation in charge of the assessment of the size and state of European anchovy stocks in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea (FAO 37). GFCM is in charge also of ensuring the sustainability of fisheries activities through the adoption of adequate management measures.<\/h5>\n
The Italian authority responsible for the supervision and management of fisheries is the General Fisheries directorate-general of the Ministry of Agriculture.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Stock Status<\/b><\/h5>\n
The most recent stock assessment results were published in 2016, and refer to data collected in 2015.<\/h5>\n
The average fishing mortality increased constantly up to 2011, when reached the maximum value of 1.006. It started to decrease afterwards to 2013 (0.91) and then it increased again reaching the value of 0.99 in 2015, indicating that the resource is currently subjected to overexploitation.<\/h5>\n
The spawning stock biomass (SBB) was estimated at 86 595 t in 2015. As the target reference point is set at 45 936 t, the stock is overexploited.<\/h5>\n
Discard and bycatch:<\/b><\/h5>\n
The use of purse seine ensures low levels of discard and bycatch. Discards level below 1% are reported by the GFCM assessment in 2015. There are no records of protected species affected by this fishery.<\/h5>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) is the government agency that manages fisheries in Peru. All fishing vessels are real time monitored by Satellite and can be seen by PRODUCE on the GPS screen. The Instituto del Mar del Peru (IMARPE) is a specialized technical agency of PRODUCE, aimed at scientific research and the study and knowledge of the Peruvian sea and its resources. Based on IMARPE researches, the Peruvian government determines the fishing seasons and quotas.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Stock status summary<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The biomass estimation for the first season of 2017 was 8.9 million tons. A value higher than the previous year. According to IMARPE, these two species are not being overexploited and overfished.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Bycatch \/ discards<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Anchovy schools are compact, so not many other species swim among them. The most common is the\u00a0Scomber japonicus<\/em>, which according to the law can be caught to produce meal and oil up to the limit of 5% for each boat landing. The fish caught in the net is pumped up to the boat. On the tip of the pumping tube, there is a metal excluder to avoid the suction of bigger fish or mammals. Whenever a smaller predator, mammal or turtle is sucked up to the boat, they are released back to the ocean. The unit of certification keeps a record of all bycatch and discards.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Habitat Impact<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Fishing is done outside protected areas, with 6 miles of distance from the shore. The net measures are between 895m to 1303m in length and 87m to 121m in depth. The sea bottom is much deeper than the depth of the nets, so the nets almost never touch the bottom of the ocean. The impact on the water column is considered minimum.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Social Accountability performance<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The fleet complies with the human rights and Peruvian labour regulations.<\/h5>\n

Fishery management:<\/b><\/h5>\n
The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) is the regional fishery management organisation in charge of the assessment of the size and state of European anchovy stocks in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea (FAO 37). GFCM is in charge also of ensuring the sustainability of fisheries activities through the adoption of adequate management measures.<\/h5>\n
The Italian authority responsible for the supervision and management of fisheries is the General Fisheries directorate-general of the Ministry of Agriculture.<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n
Stock Status<\/b><\/h5>\n
The most recent stock assessment results were published in 2016, and refer to data collected in 2015.<\/h5>\n
The average fishing mortality increased constantly up to 2011, when reached the maximum value of 1.006. It started to decrease afterwards to 2013 (0.91) and then it increased again reaching the value of 0.99 in 2015, indicating that the resource is currently subjected to overexploitation.<\/h5>\n
The spawning stock biomass (SBB) was estimated at 86 595 t in 2015. As the target reference point is set at 45 936 t, the stock is overexploited.<\/h5>\n
Discard and bycatch:<\/b><\/h5>\n
The use of purse seine ensures low levels of discard and bycatch. Discards level below 1% are reported by the GFCM assessment in 2015. There are no records of protected species affected by this fishery.<\/h5>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery is managed by the Peruvian Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), based on scientific information from IMARPE (Instituto del Mar del Peru). IMARPE possesses research boats that do investigation cruises to do a stock assessment prior in order to determine the start and duration of the fishing season and the quotas. Stock status is assessed based on real-time monitoring, which consists of direct biomass estimates and distribution from acoustic surveys prior each fishing season, and monitoring of oceanographic conditions, samplings for size structure and reproductive and somatic conditions, before and during fishing seasons, carries out acoustic research cruises and monitoring. PRODUCE establishes fishing seasons, total catch limits and vessel quotas. Controls include fishing permits, logbooks, satellite monitoring, a 13 mm minimum mesh size, a 12 cm minimum anchoveta length, juvenile-catch monitoring and temporary area closures. There are two fishing seasons. The first is from mid-April to June\/July, and the second is from October\/November to December\/January.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Management is based on real-time monitoring and direct acoustic biomass estimates. Biomass was reported as 9,978,705 metric tons in the North-Central area on 1 April 2024 and 922,000 metric tons in the southern area on 1 November 2023. The 2024 catch limits cited were 2,475,000 and 251,000 metric tons, respectively. Peruvian anchoveta stock was not over-exploited or overfished<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bycatch is very limited. Vessels record sightings and incidents involving dolphins, sea lions and turtles, and the auditor reviewed the relevant sighting and fishing-operation records. A metal excluder reduces the intake of larger animals, while smaller predators, mammals or turtles taken on board are released. The report states that there are no discards because the catch is used for fishmeal and fish oil.<\/p>\n

Habitat impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fishing generally occurs beyond five nautical miles from the coast, where the seabed is deeper than the nets, and the audit considers impacts on the water column and seabed to be low. Nets may occasionally touch shallow sandy seabeds in northern areas, but the impact was assessed as negligible and no benthic fauna was reported in catches. Protected areas are plotted on vessel navigation systems and monitored by GPS and satellite controls.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Social accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austral complies with Peruvian labour and social-security requirements. The minimum employment age is 18 years, plant wages exceed the national minimum wage, and fishing crews are paid through a production-based system regulated by a collective bargaining agreement. Workers are registered in the national healthcare system, PPE is provided free of charge, and regular safety training is conducted. Austral has 1,144 employees, including 346 fishermen.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery is managed under Georgian legislation, particularly Resolution No. 423 of 2013, and through regional cooperation under the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) and among Black Sea coastal states. Black Sea anchovy is a transboundary stock whose seasonal migrations cross several national jurisdictions, requiring coordinated stock assessments and conservation measures.<\/p>\n

Management measures include quotas, vessel licensing, closed seasons and areas, mesh-size requirements, minimum landing sizes, landing inspections, government-approved delivery notes, controls on prohibited gear and a maximum allowable bycatch of 2% for purse seines and cone nets. Fishing activity, catches, bycatch, and discards are reported to the authorities, while protected areas are identified through vessel navigation systems. CCTV is also available on board.<\/p>\n

For the 2025\u20132026 season, Georgia established a total anchovy quota of 65,000 tonnes. Sea Products received three allocations of 2,886 tonnes, 4,765.15 tonnes and 6,500 tonnes, representing a combined quota of 14,151.15 tonnes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black Sea anchovy is assessed through GFCM scientific working groups using SAM and SPiCT models. Earlier quantitative results indicated fishing mortality below FMSY and biomass above BMSY and the applicable precautionary and limit reference points, supporting its classification as not overexploited and not overfished.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Working Group provided qualitative rather than fully quantitative advice, recommended reducing fishing mortality and indicated that the situation remained similar to 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Captain interviews and daily fishing records indicated that only anchovy was captured and that no bycatch, discards, incidental mortality or unreported catch occurred during the reviewed operations. Catch information, including species, fishing zone, quantities, and bycatch, is reported through government-approved delivery notes and checked by authorized representatives at landing. No endangered or vulnerable species were identified.<\/p>\n

Georgian regulations permit a maximum of 2% non-target species for purse seines and cone nets. When the species composition is uncertain or a large quantity of non-target catch is present, the catch may be released alive before being brought on board.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Habitat impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seine gear operates in the water column and does not contact the seabed, so direct effects on benthic habitats and vulnerable marine ecosystems are considered negligible. Fishing movements are monitored in relation to permitted and protected zones, which are identified through vessel navigation systems.<\/p>\n

The wider management framework considers potential interactions with cetaceans, turtles, seabirds, sharks and rays. Bycatch incidents are uncommon in purse seine fisheries targeting small pelagic species. However, anchovy is an important prey species for Black Sea harbour porpoises and common dolphins and is also consumed by bottlenose dolphins.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fleet applies a minimum employment age of 18 years, and crew lists confirmed that no workers under 18 were employed. Salaries are above the Georgian legal minimum, with additional bonuses linked to production.<\/p>\n

Fishers undergo medical fitness controls and are covered by health and occupational accident insurance. Vessel safety certification and accident records are maintained. Crew interviews confirmed freedom of association and the absence of forced labour and discrimination. Working and accommodation conditions on board were considered appropriate for the duties performed.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery is managed through the FAO General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) SAC (Scientific Advisory Committee) and Sub-Committee on Stock Assessment (SCSA).<\/p>\n

The Georgian European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus<\/em>) fishery operating primarily in geographical subarea GSA 29 (Black Sea EEZ of Georgia) is managed within a multi-tiered regulatory structure. Because anchovies are a highly migratory, transboundary stock that spawn in warm southern waters off Turkey and Georgia and overwinter across regional borders, effective management requires regional cooperation alongside strict domestic execution.<\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stock status is evaluated primarily using the SPICT (Stochastic Surplus Production Model in Continuous Time) model. While age-structured models like SAM are being refined, SPICT provides the validated framework for scientific advice due to short time-series data from fishery-independent surveys and spatial sampling limits (mainly centered in Turkish waters).<\/p>\n

Based on benchmark assessments, quantitative status reference points indicate , , and . The stock is classified as sustainably exploited, though GFCM qualitative scientific advice maintains a precautionary approach, advising against increases in fishing mortality.<\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seine operations exhibit high gear selectivity. Discard rates are negligible (well below the \u00a0FOS maximum threshold), and non-target species catch is restricted to a maximum allowable limit of .<\/p>\n

The Black Sea hosts three protected cetacean subspecies\u2014the Black Sea harbour porpoise, common dolphin, and bottlenose dolphin. While pelagic trawls carry higher risks, purse seine operations present minimal cetacean or seabird bycatch risks. Bycatch logs confirm zero incidental catches of endangered, threatened, or protected (ETP) species.<\/p>\n

Habitat impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because purse seines operate exclusively in the pelagic water column, there is zero contact with or destruction of benthic seabed habitats.<\/p>\n

Vessels are tracked via Satellite Control Systems \/ Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS). Commercial operations are restricted beyond 300 meters from shore and forbidden inside designated Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) or Fisheries Restricted Areas (FRAs).<\/p>\n

Social accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certified operations comply with International Labour Organization (ILO) standards: child labor is prohibited (minimum age 20), crews receive health insurance and safety training, wages exceed national minimum requirements, and full rights to voluntary labor and collective bargaining are upheld.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery is managed nationally by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and regionally through GFCM cooperation for the transboundary Black Sea stock. Controls include vessel registration and licensing, vessel-specific quotas, catch and first-sale records, logbooks, official origin and transport documents, landing controls, Coast Guard and other government inspections, and company fishery-management procedures. The audit records a national 2025-2026 anchovy quota of 400,000 tonnes and a combined S\u00fcrsan allocation of 4,357 tonnes for three operating vessels.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stock is not overexploited and not overfished; the supporting 2025 Working Group report provides qualitative precautionary advice. It recommends reducing, or not increasing, fishing mortality. This situation remained unchanged from 2023 to 2025.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

The captain and crew reviewed daily records and reported no bycatch, discards, endangered-species captures, or unreported mortality, and the audit describes purse-seine discard and bycatch as negligible. Catch details, including species, area, quantities, and bycatch, are reported to the authorities and checked at landing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Habitat impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seine is a pelagic fishing method that does not contact or damage the seabed. Compliance with permitted fishing zones and Marine Protected Area requirements was reviewed, and the fishery-management system considers essential habitats and vulnerable marine ecosystems.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The audit reported that no workers under 18 were employed. A payroll of TRY 45,000 was reviewed against a stated legal minimum of TRY 22,104. Occupational health and safety are monitored by licensed specialists, and procedures cover access to health care, emergency response, PPE, accident records, freedom of association, prohibition of forced labour and discrimination, and rights onboard.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery operates within Morocco\u2019s management framework for Atlantic small pelagic fisheries. The northern management unit includes the North Atlantic\u2013Mediterranean and Central Atlantic fisheries. Management measures include catch limits, authorized fishing zones, vessel controls and landing declarations. Fishing vessels report the species and quantities landed to the maritime fisheries authorities.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) was described as fully exploited in the North, A and B zones in the stock information cited for this fishery. Its availability and annual catches vary with environmental conditions; fishing effort is therefore adjusted to fluctuations in the resource.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vessels declare catches of both target and incidental species, and landings are subject to checks by the maritime fisheries authorities. The cited Moroccan small pelagic fishery rules allow incidental catches up to 3% of the authorized quantity. Purse seine selectivity and catch declarations support monitoring of non-target species.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Habitat impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seines operate in the water column around pelagic fish schools and generally avoid contact with the seabed. Fishing is subject to spatial restrictions, including protected and closed areas; management assessments consider effects on habitats and associated species.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Social accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fishery employs approximately 13 crew members per vessel. Crew members must hold a maritime booklet and be at least 18 years old. Pay is based on role and catch share and is stated to exceed the Moroccan minimum wage. Medical checks are required before embarkation through port medical services.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black Sea anchovy is a stock shared by the Black Sea coastal states. Scientific advice is coordinated by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) through its Subregional Group on Stock Assessment in the Black Sea, and by the EU Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). In Georgia the fishery is regulated by Government Resolution No. 423 of 2013 on fishing and the protection of fish stocks, under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection and the National Environmental Agency. The resolution sets the authorised gear and prohibited methods, mesh size and net dimensions, fishing zones and a maximum bycatch of 2% of non-target species for purse seines. Anchovy catches are limited by an annual national allocation of about 85,000 t, divided among five companies. For the season 1 October 2024 \u2013 1 October 2025, Geofish was allocated 12,463.1 t (document no. 550 of 30\/09\/2024); its anchovy catch in 2024 was 5,474 t. Georgia applies a minimum landing size of 6.5\u20137 cm, below the 9 cm applied in T\u00fcrkiye, and relies mainly on the catch allocation to manage the fishery. All landings are declared to the authorities on government-approved delivery notes, with officials present at landing. The vessel keeps daily catch records, holds a valid fishing licence, has CCTV on board, and was not found on any IUU list.<\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Sea anchovy stock (GSA 29) is assessed by the GFCM. The latest validated assessment (SPiCT surplus production model, reference year 2021) classifies the stock as sustainably exploited: Fcurrent\/FMSY = 0.57, B2022\/BMSY = 1.2, B\/Bpa = 2.4 and B\/Blim = 4.01. The stock is therefore not subject to overfishing and not overfished. The GFCM benchmark assessment in Burgas (July 2023) recommended SPiCT until the data improve, a second benchmark session on Black Sea anchovy and sprat (Batumi, July 2024) did not finalise the anchovy assessment, and the scientific advice was not to increase fishing mortality.<\/p>\n

Bycatch\/discards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seining for small pelagics is selective, and discards in the Black Sea anchovy fishery are considered negligible. The vessel\u2019s daily catch records reviewed during the 2025 surveillance audit show anchovy only, with no bycatch, discards or incidental mortality recorded. National rules limit bycatch to 2% of non-target species, and catches are declared to the authorities at each landing. Interactions with Black Sea cetaceans (harbour porpoise, common dolphin and bottlenose dolphin, protected under ACCOBAMS) are reported mainly in pelagic trawl fisheries and are rarer in purse seine fisheries. According to the skipper, no endangered or vulnerable species have been caught, and in case of doubt the whole catch is released alive. Shark finning is not practised.<\/p>\n

Habitat Impact\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purse seines are used in the water column and do not normally touch the seabed. Protected and closed areas are notified by the authorities and entered in the vessel\u2019s navigation system so that the vessel avoids them, and the vessel fishes only within the permitted zones defined by Resolution 423. The only GFCM fisheries restricted area in the Black Sea (no bottom-towed gear below 1,000 m) does not affect this fishery. Lost gear is retrieved with equipment on board, and its position is recorded when it cannot be recovered. Damaged nets are repaired or stored at a dedicated area in the port for collection and recycling. Solid waste is sorted on board and landed, with a waste journal kept. Used oils are delivered to an authorised contractor, and no ozone-depleting refrigerants or toxic chemicals are used. Fuel use is recorded, but a carbon footprint has not been calculated; the auditor made a recommendation on this.<\/p>\n

Social Accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vessel employs 30 fishers. The audit found the company compliant with all social accountability requirements, with no non-conformities. The crew list shows no workers under 18. Employment contracts show wages above the Georgian minimum wage, plus catch-related bonuses. Fishers have medical fitness checks, health insurance and work-accident insurance, and accidents are recorded. Interviews with randomly selected fishers confirmed freedom of association, no forced labour, and no discrimination. Working conditions on board were found adequate.<\/p>\n

Management summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black Sea anchovy is a stock shared by the Black Sea coastal states. Scientific advice is coordinated by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) through its Subregional Group on Stock Assessment in the Black Sea, and by the EU Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). In Georgia, the fishery is managed by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection. It sets an annual national anchovy limit of 85,000 t, allocated among five companies, along with a minimum landing size (6.5\u20137 cm), mesh-size rules and closed areas. All landings are declared to the authorities on government-approved delivery notes, with officials present at landing. The vessels hold valid fishing licences, have CCTV on board, and were not found on any IUU list.<\/p>\n

Stock status summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Sea anchovy stock (GSA 29) is assessed by the GFCM. The latest validated assessment (SPiCT surplus production model, reference year 2021) classifies the stock as sustainably exploited: Fcurrent\/FMSY = 0.57, B2022\/BMSY = 1.2, B\/Bpa = 2.4 and B\/Blim = 4.01. The stock is therefore not subject to overfishing and is not overfished.<\/p>\n

Social Accountability performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two vessels employ 102 fishers (73 and 29). The audit found the company compliant with all social accountability requirements, with no non-conformities. The crew list shows no workers under 18. Employment contracts show wages above the Georgian minimum wage, plus catch-related bonuses. Fishers have medical fitness checks, health insurance and work-accident insurance, and accidents are recorded.
