Overview
- The 40,000‑tonne opening quota runs through October 17 and is part of the 559,804‑tonne annual LMCTP backed by Imarpe’s assessment of a recovering stock.
- Only artisanal vessels using pota longline with valid fishing and sanitary permits may operate, with per‑voyage limits tied to hold capacity and double tolerance for boats with operational Sisesat.
- Departures are authorized October 1–12 for vessels up to 20 m³ and October 4–12 for larger holds, with zarpe documentation required; boats without Sisesat must register by September 29 and pre‑notify each trip.
- Landings at authorized ports must occur by October 17 with disembarkation forms, and processing is permitted until October 22 using registered isothermal transport and official weight tickets.
- A national reproductive closure applies from October 18 to November 17, supported by the pilot Defensores de la Sostenibilidad Pesquera to monitor compliance and traceability with regional and fisher coordination.
