Abstract

Aquaculture in Perú has experienced significant growth in recent decades, becoming a key activity in both the national and local economies. This study aims to analyze the distribution and scale of aquaculture activities in the country, evaluating the cultivated species, allocated areas, and the types of rights (AREL, AMYPE, and AMYGE) granted across various regions. A structured database was used to identify major geographic trends, predominant species, and differences in allocated areas based on the type of aquaculture development. The results show that the Peruvian Amazon concentrates the majority of aquaculture activity, particularly in native species such as Paiche (Arapaima gigas) and Boquichico (Prochilodus nigricans), while coastal regions specialize in high-value commercial species such as White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Additionally, the analysis revealed that limited resource aquaculture (AREL) predominates in rural communities, while small and micro-enterprises (AMYPE) are playing an increasing role in the sector. This study concludes that strengthening public policies, promoting technological innovation, and providing training are essential for ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of Peru’s aquaculture sector.
