Local regulations

Ministerio de la Producción (PRODUCE) — con recomendación científica del IMARPE

Peru

Licensing:

saltwater-recreational — residents Individual recreational/sport fishing (pesca deportiva) from shore for personal consumption does NOT require a fishing permit in Peru. A permit/authorisation from PRODUCE is required to fish from a vessel (embarcación). Regardless of permit, the national minimum-capture-size rules (R.M. 209-2001-PE) apply to everyone: it is prohibited to extract, receive, transport, process or sell fish below the established sizes., non-residents Same rules apply to visiting anglers: no individual permit needed for shore angling for personal use, but vessel-based fishing requires authorisation and the national minimum-size limits must be respected at all times.

FishRadar regulations are summaries for informational purposes only. In Peru, fishing is regulated nationally by PRODUCE (Ministerio de la Producción) on the scientific advice of IMARPE. National minimum capture sizes (tallas mínimas de captura) apply to everyone and it is prohibited to extract, transport or sell undersized fish; these sizes and closed seasons (vedas) can change by ministerial resolution. Shore angling for personal use needs no permit, but vessel-based fishing does. Always verify current rules with PRODUCE before fishing — FishRadar is not a legal source.
