Peruvian fishmeal and fish oil giant Pesquera Exalmar has launched an internal probe after a company employee was named in media reports linked to the anchovy quota fixing scandal.
It comes amid an official investigation into the alleged manipulation of data that led to the overstatement of biomass and quotas.
Authorities are trying to determine whether the anchovy biomass and quota for Peru's north central zone season was artificially inflated for the benefit of fishing companies and the fishmeal sector.
