  abstract = {{T}he {P}eruvian anchoveta fishery is currently targeted by a large fleet featuring a wide range of vessel sizes (segments), with highly variable capacities. {I}n addition, the landings of the industrial fleet are used exclusively by the reduction industry, while those performed by small- and medium-scale vessels are destined mainly for direct human consumption. {D}espite these differences, the entire fleet is made up of purse seiners that perform similar operations when at sea. {T}herefore, the main aim of this study is to identify the differences in eco-efficiency between the different fleet segments in order to delve into the potential environmental improvements that could be attained through operational benchmarking. {T}o this end, the combined use of {L}ife {C}ycle {A}ssessment ({LCA}) and {D}ata {E}nvelopment {A}nalysis ({DEA}) was applied to the {P}eruvian anchoveta fleet. {M}ore specifically, a modified 5-step {LCA} + {DEA} method, whose particularities are broadly discussed throughout the study, was computed to obtain the desired operational benchmarks and, thereafter, estimate the target environmental gains. {R}esults led to an average efficiency score of 86% throughout the segments, with a total of eight fleet segments out of 13 (62%) operating inefficiently. {N}evertheless, no clear pattern was identified through the segments, although certain correlations with stock abundance, fuel use intensity, overcapacity and climatic conditions are discussed. {R}eduction in material inputs based on operational benchmarks translated into environmental gains that ranged from 26% to 53% for inefficient segments. {F}inally, it is expected that the findings in this study may aid stakeholders and policy makers when revising fuel use optimisation and overcapacity management strategies.},
