Peru on pace to harvest all second season anchovy quota by end of month

So far over 1.4 million metric tons of a 2.283 million metric ton anchovy quota has been harvested, although catching it all may be a challenge.

The start of Peru's second anchovy season in north central waters was delayed in November leaving a race against the clock in January before inclement weather intervenes.
