Schaefer, Boletin, Vol. 1, No. 5, Institute del Mar del Peru, Callao, 1967, pp. 189-304, in English and Spanish. It has been known for a long time that a very large quantity of anchoveta, along the coast of Peru and northern Chile, formed the principal food for a large guano bird popula- tion and for the larger predatory fishes. The utilization for fish meal of anchoveta caught by purse-seine vessels, known in Peru as 'bolicheras,' began in the early 1950s. The fishery grew from a modest 7,000 tons in 1951 to million in 1967. Before and dur- ing the development of the fishery, there were fears that it would lead to disastrous con- sequences for both guano birds and anchoveta. This concern about the proper development and control of the resource had the fortunate consequence of providing one of the few in- stances when adequate statistical and bio- logical data have been collected and analyzed during the early development of an important commercial fishery. Data on catch, effort, size composition of the catches, and information on the biology and ecology of the anchoveta have been col- lected. This has made it possible to insure against both overexploitation and premature curtailment of exploitation. Dr. Schaefer has examined the population structure and biology, measurement of the catch, fishing efforts, and apparent abundance of the anchoveta. Estimating the relation of catch, effort, and catch-unit-of-effort, he has concluded the average maximum sustainable yield to be 10 million tons, divided between guano birds and man.
