The Autoridad de los Recursos Acuáticos de Panamá (ARAP) has ordered the suspension of the 2026 herring fishing season in Panama. The measure applies to both large- and small-scale vessels.
The restriction took effect on September 30. It will remain in place until authorities officially authorize the reopening of the fishery.
The regulatory action was implemented specifically to protect the reproductive cycle of the herring species.
