Fish Netting, Peru

Fish Netting, Peru
Peru leads the world in the production of fish meal, which is made from anchovies, the principal catch of the Peruvian fishing industry. Fish is also a staple of the Peruvian diet. Here, a fisherman drops nets from his reed boat into Lake Titicaca, high in the Andes Mountains.
