(Thisis also supplcmeiited with Figure 1, which showsmonthly anchovy landings during recent years).Geographical Distribution of LandingsAs shown by the map and graphs in Figure 2,industrial fishing centers are not evenly distributedin Peru. This distribution is in the first place dependentupon harbour facilities, coininunications andawess to fresh water. Weather conditions are alsoquite important and are more stable in the northernarea, where the fishing industry is largely concentrated.I-Towver, it is bp no means certaiii that thelocation of the industry corresponds to the actual distributionof the anchovy stock. Better geographicaldistribution may be the next step in the developnientof the anchov,~ industry. and it appears that modernfishing methods (Sonar) can make this possible.Seasonal and Yearly Trends in Fishing SuccessThe seasonal and yearly trends are described in tn-oways. In Figure 3, the percentage distribution oflandings by months is sliown, (based on the annualtotal). With slight variations fishing events haveoccurred in a very regular manner, with low catchesduring winter. In Figure 4, a more detailed analysis1000TONS
