A new study using life cycle analysis has hailed Peru’s anchovy fishing industry as one of the most environmentally sustainable in the world

Conducted by the Austral Group in collaboration with the Peruvian Life Cycle and Industrial Ecology Network, the study examines the entire production chain of fishmeal and fish oil, from fishing to export.

The study reveals that Peru’s fishing and processing practices result in a significantly lower environmental footprint compared to other global aquaculture feed sources.
