South American fisheries and aquaculture regulation

Overview

South American fisheries and aquaculture sectors are undergoing various regulatory and environmental adjustments. In Peru, Sanipes implemented a new list of authorized foreign infrastructures from countries including Argentina, Poland, and Ecuador to facilitate the import of rainbow trout embryos, white shrimp post-larvae, and ornamental species by reducing administrative barriers.

Broader regional shifts include Ecuador moving forward a ban on the collection and commercialization of red crabs to protect the species during its molting cycle. In response to El Niño, Peruvian authorities are suspending credit payments for mariculturists and authorizing temporary harvesting regimes for specific species.

In Chile, the aquaculture sector is seeking reactivation following a Constitutional Court ruling on salmon farming, while authorities have conducted seizures of red tide-contaminated clams and illegal catches. Additionally, Argentina is increasing border controls for undocumented imports and initiating shrimp prospecting operations to assess commercial viability.
