IMARPE Initiates Key Scientific Cruise to Inform 2025-2026 Provisional Fishing Regime for Strategic Resource.

CALLAO, Perú – The Peruvian Marine Research Institute (IMARPE), the technical arm of the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), has embarked on a new research cruise focused on hake, one of the most vital species for the nation's fishing industry. The expedition set sail on May 20 from the port of Callao aboard the scientific vessel “Humboldt” and will continue until June along Peru's northern coastline.

Research vessel 'Humboldt' travels along the northern coast to collect important data on the state of the species and its ecosystem

The operation will cover the area between Peru's northernmost maritime boundary and 08°S (Chicama), at depths ranging from 30 to 550 meters. A multidisciplinary team of IMARPE scientists and technicians will gather critical information on the population and biological status of Peruvian hake. The study will also examine cohabiting species and the oceanographic conditions of their environment.

The data collected from this cruise will be crucial for formulating the scientific recommendations that will underpin the Provisional Fishing Regime for July 2025 – June 2026. These studies are essential for establishing responsible management measures that guarantee the long-term sustainability of this vital fishery.

"Scientific research is the foundation of sustainable fishing. This cruise will not only tell us about the status of hake but also how we must act to ensure its conservation and the well-being of thousands of families who depend on this activity," stated Jesús Barrientos, the Vice Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture.

Peruvian hake, a demersal species typical of the northern coast, represents a strategic fishery for the country, particularly in the Paita area, where industrial activity is concentrated. Its capture is primarily destined for processing and export of frozen products, providing both direct and indirect employment. Since its industrial exploitation began in the 1960s, it has been subject to continuous scientific monitoring and evaluation. IMARPE has led studies on its population dynamics, biology, and environmental relationship, allowing for evidence-based management measures to be applied.

This new research effort reaffirms the Peruvian government's commitment to applied scientific research and the responsible management of its marine resources, benefiting both the country and future generations.
