In the Paraná River region, authorities are responding to reports of a massive fish migration. Paraguay’s Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADES) is monitoring potential movements of dorado and boga species, with the possibility of implementing temporary fishing bans. In Corrientes, Argentina, an extraordinary biological ban is already in effect to protect fish during spawning, though officials report ongoing challenges with illegal fishing and confrontations with authorities.

In Argentina, SENASA is conducting preventive monitoring in Buenos Aires nurseries to detect the red palm weevil, following its discovery in Entre Ríos. Meanwhile, the Argentine Army is preparing a large-scale demonstration in Rosario, featuring tanks, helicopters, and vessels to showcase river operations.
