On average, 9.35 million tonnes of marine fish, molluscs and crustaceans were landed each year in Chile and Peru during 2005 to 2015, with a noticeable decreasing trend (Figure 15A.2). This trend is primarily because of the implementation of strictermanagement plans but it also reflects climate variability and, in some cases, increasingoverexploitation. The main landed species were the Peruvian anchovy or anchoveta(Engraulis ringens), the Chilean jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi), the jumbo flyingsquid (Dosidicus gigas), the Araucarian herring (Strangomera bentincki) and Pacificchub mackerel (Scomber japonicus). The Northern–Central Peru region accounted for75 percent of the total catches, Southern Peru–Northern Chile for nearly 20 percent,and central Chile represented less than 5 percent (Gutierrez, Akester and Naranjo,2016).
