They are responsible for data collection through fishery resources sampling extracted throughout the country. In this way, necessary information is obtained to carry out actions that help protect sea resources. What data is obtained in the sampling? Species Type Size Weight Sex Place of extraction Where is the sampling performed? Artisanal and industrial fishing vessels Ports and landing points Processing plants The information is then collected in fishing logs...

Seafood is a term used in gastronomy to refer to edible marine invertebrates, which are classified into four groups. What is discard? It is the action of returning to the sea species caught unintentionally in fishing operations. Why it happens? Sometimes nets catch, along with commercial interest species, others that cohabit with them, which are discarded since they have no economic value, or are species with a ban or...

In the last 50 years, this phenomenon has been more frequent and intense throughout the world, encompassing broader geographic sectors. What are FANs? They are not tides, nor are they all red It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the density of some harmful microalgae in aquatic environments increases excessively. This causes the death of organisms, the contamination of species and the alteration of ecosystems. Harmful microalgae are...

It is the action of returning to the sea the species caught unintentionally in fishing operations. Why happens? Sometimes nets catch, along with commercial interest species, others that cohabit with them, which are discarded since they have no economic value, or are species with a ban or fishing quotas, whose landing is sanctioned. How to reduce it? Through fishing gear designs improvements and detection technologies that allow capturing only...

It is the prohibition to capture marine resources in the months that they are spawning or laying their eggs. Thus, it is possible to protect their reproductive process and maintain the renewal of populations, particularly those species that mature late or are more vulnerable to fishing action. Octopus: It reproduces for the first time at 4-6 months of age, with 12.5 cm Anchovy: at 11 months; 12 cm Red...

These vessels have specialized equipment and laboratories to estimate biomass ( fish abundance ) or fishery resources spatial distribution . In addition, and among other tasks, they monitor environmental and oceanographic conditions to predict and relate marine fauna behavior with environmental conditions. How is fish biomass determined? In scientific vessels there are sensors that emit sound waves that bounce off the shoals, producing a return echo, which allows the...
