Detailed explanation-1: -Peru’s fisheries activity is traditionally based on its marine pelagic resources, mainly anchovy (Engraulis ringens) and other species such as jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) and chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus).
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the product “anchovies” is normally made of sprats, while fish such as herring can be sold as “anchovy-spiced", leading to confusion when translating recipes. The European anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus, is the main commercial anchovy, with Morocco being the largest supplier of canned anchovies.
Detailed explanation-3: -The vast majority of the Peruvian anchoveta catch is processed in large plants that reduce the fish to fishmeal or oil to be used as animal feed, fertilizer, and other industrial products.
Detailed explanation-4: -In both Peru and Chile, Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis ringens) and hake (Merluccius gayi) are by far the main preys consumed, together with other small fish and squids.
