At least 150 fishermen from Chimbote, Barranca, Huacho, Ilo and Piura have refused to embark as a protest measure to demand that the Ministry of Production (Produce) decree the closure of the second season of industrial fishing.

The seamen made a seedling at Malabrigo's dock since last Thursday and slept in this place at night as an act of rejection of the production issued by Produce on December 31.
