Abstract |
- The Peruvian anchoveta fishery (the largest mono-specific fleet worldwide)
supplies mostly a chain of fishmeal and fish oil aimed at producing animal
feeds, mostly in other continents, whereas others supply chains for direct
human consumption only use <1% of the anchoveta landing. Although
improving during the last 10 years, this situation is surprising in a country
where part of the human population suffers from malnutrition when not
starvation (having also in mind that anchoveta products are rich in proteins
and with high content in omega 3). Furthermore, the viability of the
fishmeal and fish oil supply chain is questionable due to its high impact on
the environment and its low employment rate. Its energy consumption (and
related fossil fuel use, green house effect production, etc.) is high all along
the supply chain: extraction, transformation, inter-continental transport of
fish products and animal protein outputs, etc. A research program, lead by
IMARPE and IRD, was launched in 2009 and will quantify the
environmental and socio-economical impacts of the Peruvian anchoveta
supply chains for direct and indirect human consumption, from end to end.
The first step will be a comparison of impacts resulting from the extraction
phase according to the type of boat (small-scale, semi-industrial or
industrial) and, within each of these three categories, to boat size (ranging
from 2 to 600 t of holding capacity, with large overlapping between boat
types. Partial results on this first step will be presented, in particular a life
cycle analyses, employment and economical rent.
