    Punta Arenas fishing industry complains of a sharp fall in catches and landings

    “In 2012 we had 11 vessels in the fisheries, and now we are down to four, which means dropping from 30.000 to 10.000 tons of exports”, pointed out Gutierrez.(Pic LPA)

    The fishing industry in Punta Arenas, extreme south of Chile, is going through a serious recession --30% fall in landings-- which is not only impacting the activity of the four main companies, with lesser jobs, but also port operations and the price of freight as volumes are smaller, warned this week Enrique Gutierrez, General Manager of Pesca Chile.
