Alimentación de la merluza (Merluccius hubbsi) en el Golfo San Jorge y aguas adyacentes
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2009) Sánchez, F.
The information obtained in summer research cruises carried out in 1995, 1999 and 2002 allowed to determine the trophic spectrum of common hake (Merluccius hubbsi) and to estimate anchovy (Engraulis anchoita) and hake consumption in the nursery area of the San Jorge Gulf and shelf adjacent waters (Argentine Sea, SW Atlantic). The area surveyed extended from 44ºS to 47ºS and between the 50-100 m isobaths. In the stomach content the most frequent items were crustaceans followed by fish. In all size groups sampled the presence of anchovy and common hake was observed. In the area assessed consumption of anchovy, weighted for the three summer months of 1995 was 56,639 t. The greatest predation pressure was observed on classes between 14-16 cm TL. Hake consumption estimated at 16,797 t in summer 1995 reached 36,456 t in 2002. The average length of common hake preys was 16 cm TL in 1995 and 13 cm TL in 2002.
Análisis de la utilización de la captura por unidad de esfuerzo de pescadilla de red (Cynoscion guatucupa) como índice de abundancia anual. Período 1992-2004
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2009) Perrotta, Ricardo G.; Ruarte, Claudio
The stripped weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) caught in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina (SW Atlantic) has a wide latitudinal distribution (22° S-43° S). In Argentina there are two main fishing areas, the Argentine-Uruguayan Common Fishing Zone and 'El Rincón', southern zone of the Buenos Aires littoral. The importance of the species makes it necessary to define an annual abundance index that would allow to diagnose the state of the stock. The model adjusted to calculate the index is the General Linear Model. The factors used were Year, Quarter, Length, Stratum (4 categories) and sub-areas (5 categories), all statistically significant. The problem generated by the presence in the model of first order interactions that include the Year factor is discussed. The importance of said interactions is assessed pursuant to the percentage of variance explained considering the model with and without such interactions. It is concluded that the catch per unit of effort series reflects space-temporal changes in the fleet activity not proportional to the biomass.
Análisis de las capturas de atunes realizadas por dos buques pesqueros de Mar del Plata, Argentina, entre enero y abril de 2010
(INIDEP, 2011) Garciarena, A. David
Data obtained by observers on board of two fishing vessels during six trips carried out between January-April 2010 to catch tuna were analyzed. Thirty-four fishing days were completed and of the 59 trawls performed 37 turned out positive (with tuna catches). The fishing gear consisted of a purse seine net. Exploitation took place within the Argentine-Uruguayan Common Fishing Zone, between 36° S-39° S. The main landings occurred in March and consisted of slender tuna, Allothunnus fallai (57%), followed by albacore, Thunnus alalunga (28.5%), in January and bonito, Sarda sarda (14%), in April. Sea surface temperature ranged 16 °C-19 °C. A total of 25 length frequency samples allowed to measure individuals of the species above mentioned and those of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). During fishing operations the death of some magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) and soft-plumaged petrels (Pterodroma mollis) as well as catch of anchovy (Engraulis anchoita) were registered
Análisis y diagnóstico del diseño de muestreo de las campañas de evaluación de merluza (Merluccius hubbsi) al norte y al sur de los 41°S (Zona Comun de Pesca Argentino-Uruguaya y Mar Argentino). Años 1996-1999
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2003) Hernández, Daniel R.; Bezzi, S.I.; Ibañez, P.M.
Gain contribution by stratification in hake (Merluccius hubbsi) biomass estimation with respect to a simple random sampling based on the same sample size is analyzed. Considering as objective hake biomass assessment, curves which relate precision reached in estimations to the sample size are established. Data were from total hake biomass surveys carried out from 1996 through 1999 hake management units distributed North and South of 41°S Argentine Sea are analyzed separately. Stratification used at present allows to obtain very variable gains in precision associated to biomass with estimations, in the North management unit, with a maximun of 88 in 1996 and no gain in 1997. The South management unit presents also variable results but always with important gains. The applied sampling effort levels allow to obtain biomass estimation relative errors no higher than 29 in the assessment corresponding to the North management unit and 14 in the assessment relative to the South management unit. These values may be considered as very satisfactory. In the event of further diminishing estimation errors to obtain minimum gains it will be necessary to increase the sampling effort to levels which are inadmissible from a practical point of view. It does not seem feasible to diminish the present error of biomass estimation in both management units.
Aplicación de un modelo dinámico de biomasa para evaluar el efectivo sur de merluza. Período 1986-1998
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2003) Irusta, G.; Hernández, Daniel R.
The status of hake (Merluccius hubbsi) resource south of 41°S in the Argentine Sea was evaluated with the Biomass Dynamic Model of Pella and Tomlinson. Results indicate that the population was overexploited and in a low biological production level (B99 BMSY1 because, as of 1998, catches always exceeded the surplus production corresponding to each year and the (MSY) Maximum Sustainable Yield. In 1993 increase of landings accelerated declination of biomass. For 1999 the MSY was estimated at 244,773 t and the replacement catch at 147,389 t. Landings corresponding to 1998 surpassed the MSY in 145,000 t and the replacement catch in 242,611 t.
La caballa (Scomber japonicus) y las condiciones del ambiente en el área "El Rincón" (39°40'-41°30' S) del Mar Argentino. Septiembre, 2000
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2003) Perrotta, Ricardo G.; Viñas, M.D.; Madirolas, A.; Reta, Raúl; Akselman, Rut; Castro Machado, Federico; Garciarena, A. David; Macchi, Gustavo J.; Moriondo Danovaro, Paula; Llanos, V.; Urteaga, J.R.
Between September 1st and 6th a research cruise was carried out in the Buenos Aires shelf area of "El Rincon" 39°40'-41°30'S, Argentine Sea SW Atlantic. The total area studied was 2,527.8 nautical mile2. Knowledge of the commercial fleet location at the time of the survey allowed to intensify sampling in a 'miniarea' of 52,8 nautical mile2. The acoustic assessment of chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) biomass was 49,511.9 t, 94 of which corresponded to this last area. Fish samples coming from fishing trawls included only adult individuals of 240-460 mm total length (TL) and ages ranging 2-11 years. The limit age was estimated at 13 years and natural and total mortality rates at 0.23 and 0.54, respectively. Oceanographic conditions were those typical of the winter season, characterized by the vertical homogeneity of the water column in temperature and salinity. The isotherms and isohalines distributed parallel to the 50 m isobath with values progressively decreasing from the coast towards the slope. Salinity values allowed to detect two hydrographic regimes: that of the San Matias Gulf 33.8-34.4 located to the West and covering more than half of the study area and the one of the Shelf Waters 33.5-33.79 occurring towards the East. A positive gradient in chlorophyll a concentration was observed in N-S sense and from the coast towards the shelf break. The highest densities of phytoplankton, with dominance of diatoms, were observed in the southern sector. Low concentrations of Alexandrium tamarense and Prorocentrum minimum, two potentially noxious dinoflagellates, were detected. The highest zooplankton biomass associated to the highest salinity values and salinity gradients, represented mostly by Calanoides cf. carinatus, was also detected in the southern sector. The western sector, influenced by the San Matias Gulf regime and characterized by high densities of both, phytoplankton and zooplankton, may constitute a potentially favourable feeding ground for chub mackerel.
Características biológicas y de la pesca del savorín Seriolella porosa (Pisces: Centrolophidae) del Mar Argentino
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2002) Garciarena, A. David; Perrotta, Ricardo G.
Length growth parameters were calculated and total length-weight and total length-fork length relationships, which showed no differences between sexes, were fitted for the South Atlantic bream (Seriolella porosa). Length at first maturity was also calculated. The results were as follows: L (mm)= 490.96k years-¹) = 0.154; t0 (years)= -3.915; W(g) = 4*10-6)*TL³.1989; FL(mm) = 0.8917*TL1.0006);L sub 50 (mm)= 290.61. Natural mortality was estimated at 0.274 and limit age at 11 years. Samples were taken during research surveys carried out in 1999 and 2000 in the Argentine Sea (Atlantic SW). Sagittae otoliths of 374 specimen were used for age determination. Total fish length ranged from 226 mm to 550 mm (1-14 years). Commercial landing data of trawl fleets for the period 1990-2000 were analyzed. Catch per unit effort (CPUE) (kg/h) was calculated and standardized using a General Linear Model. All the variables considered in the analysis year, month, fishing rectangle, fleet and horse power were significant. The CPUE showed an increasing tendency through the years.
Clave de identificación de cápsulas de huevos de condrictios del Mar Argentino
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2009) Mabragaña, Ezequiel; Figueroa, Daniel E.; Scenna, Lorena B.; Díaz de Astarloa, Juan Martín; Colonello, Jorge H.; Massa, Ana M.
Twenty eight species of oviparous chondrichthyans were reported on the Argentine Continental Shelf (SW Atlantic). The egg cases laid on the sea bed provide useful information to identify species, eggs laying areas and seasons. Based on the analysis of 155 egg cases corresponding to 21 chondrichthyan species, an illustrated field guide for a correct identification is presented.
Las condiciones oceanográficas en el área marplatense (37° 00' S-38° 24' S) y su relación con la distribución de la caballa (Scomber japonicus). Octubre-noviembre de 1999
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2009) Reta, Raúl; Perrotta, Ricardo G.; Garciarena, A. David
Results obtained during a research cruise carried out along the coastal area of Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina) in November 1999 are presented. The objective of the research cruise was to estimate chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) abundance with acoustic methods and establish its relation to the hydrographic conditions. The information gathered was complemented with data of catches obtained by a commercial vessel that operated simultaneously in the study area. Environmental data from other research cruises and satellite information were also taken into account to obtain contemporary sea surface temperature and wind speed and direction data. The main species of catches of the research cruise and commercial vessel were horse mackerel (Trachurus lathami) and anchovy (Engraulis anchoita). No chub mackerel was detected during the acoustic assessment; however, the species was caught by the commercial vessel in the southern part of the study area and near the thermohaline front. Chub mackerel yields were very low if compared to those regularly recorded in the area and time the purse-seine fleet operates and that are typical of an advanced fishing season (January). The advection of estuarine waters from the de la Plata river, conditioned by the winds field, generated the displacement of low salinity waters over the coastal area that surpassed the regular southern limits. The positive anomalies of sea surface temperature in the region, that reached values close to 3 °C, could have caused the partial exclusion of chub mackerel in the coastal region of Mar del Plata.
Crecimiento de la merluza (Merluccius hubbsi) del Atlántico sudoccidental entre 1993-2003 al norte y sur de 41º S
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2009) Renzi, M.A.; Santos, B.A.; Abachian, Viviana
The reading of otoliths sagittae collected during the INIDEP (National Institute for Fisheries Research and Development, Argentina) assessment cruises carried out in the 1993-2003 period allowed to estimate length and weight growth parameters and the condition factor of hake (Merluccius hubbsi) and to prospect the two management units of the species north and south of 41ºS (Argentine Sea, SW Atlantic). A great variability in total length and weight in each age group was observed; nevertheless, stable mean length and weight values per age group were observed in the period analyzed. Besides, the values estimated to determine possible growth variations in each and between both management units north and south of 41ºS were compared. The comparison of growth curves of males and females in each area showed highly significant differences. When each sex between stocks was compared, some years those differences were observed for growth as a whole and only for some parameters in others.
El descarte en la flota comercial argentina dirigida a la pesquería de merluza. Período 1990-1997
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2003) Dato, C.V.; Villarino, M.F.; Cañete, G.R.
Discards of the commercial fleet in the Argentine Sea (SW Atlantic) directed to hake Merluccius hubbsi were estimated in weight and number of individuals. The dynamics of the ice-chilling and freezer fleets per area and quarter and processes of discarding were analyzed. The estimation method was based on the comparison of landings and surveys length composition, the latter filtered by the selectivity of the mesh used by the commercial fleet to rebuild the length distribution of catches. It is concluded that discards had an annual variation of 42,000 t-148,000 t in the 1990-1997 period, which represented between 30 and 50 in weight and 11-24 in number of actual catches. The analysis of age groups affected by discards showed that over 90 corresponded to individuals age 1 and the rest to specimens age groups 0-2.
Descripción macroscópica de los ovarios del abadejo manchado (Genypterus blacodes). Escala de maduración
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2003) Machinandiarena, Laura; Villarino, M.F.; Cordo, H.D.; Macchi, Gustavo J.; Pájaro, Marcelo
The macroscopic ovaric stages of pink cuskeel (Genypterus blacodes) females from the Argentine Sea (SW Atlantic) are described. They were classified in five stages of development based on changes in the appearance and size of the ovary: juvenile (I), developing (II), spawning (III), spent (IV) and resting (V).
Desove en cautiverio y calidad de los huevos y larvas del besugo, Pagrus pagrus (L.)
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP), 2006) Aristizábal, Eddie O.
Spontaneous spawning of red porgy was achieved in captivity by using photoperiod and temperature control systems along the year. During a four-month reproduction period females released in average about 0.2 times their own body weight in oocytes with an energy content of 5.71 J mg-1 wet weight. A total of 28.8 x 106 eggs and approximately 200 g of viable eggs (wet weight) per female kg were obtained. The eggs and larvae quality in terms of hatching and larval survival rates experienced a significant variation during the spawning season ranging between 0%-92% and 0.3%-33.2% respectively. Comments in reference to the probable causes of these variations and the need of carrying on with this line of research are presented.
Dinámica de la flota comercial argentina dirigida a la pesquería de merluza (Merluccius hubbsi) en el Mar Argentino. Periodo 1990-1997
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2003) Dato, C.V.; Villarino, M.F.; Cañete, G.R.
Since 1990, the Argentine commercial fleet directed to hake (Merluccius hubbsi) has obtained more than 70 of catches South of 41°S while to the North of this latitude the activity concentrated between 39°S and 41°S Argentine Sea, SW Atlantic. Bearing in mind the different characteristics of ice-chilling and freezer fleets, their activities were analyzed separately. Considering the relative percentages of catches declared in fishery statistics, the dynamics of each fleet is described per quarter and year. Special reference is made to 1997 when a closed area to protect juveniles was introduced between 44°S-47°S and 62°W-65°W. The freezer fleet activity, concentrated South of 41°S, especially South of 43°S, was stable throughout the period. It grouped around the closed area of Escondida Island during the summer 1st and 4th quarters) to disperse in deeper waters in winter 2nd and 3rd quarters. In the 2nd quarter it formed two nuclei, one to the North -and the most important- to the South of 41°S. The dynamics of the ice-chilling fleet per season was similar to that of the freezer fleetnevertheless, contrary to the latter, activities concentrated between 39°S and 42°S and, of the two nuclei formed in the 2nd quarter, the most important was the one North of 41°S. In 1995 a marked change was observed when concentration of the fleet ranged between 39°S and 42°S and the South nucleus practically disappeared.
Distribución de desovantes y estimación de variables reproductivas del efectivo norteño de merluza (Merluccius hubbsi) (35º'S-41º'S) durante mayo de 2009
(INIDEP, 2011) Rodrigues, K.A.; Macchi, Gustavo J.
Spawning and reproductive variables of the northern hake stock were analyzed using macroscopic and histologic gonad information derived from samples collected in May 2009. The study includes estimates of batch fecundity, spawning frequency, oocyte dry weight and size at first maturity. During May 2009 the reproductive activity of the northern hake stock took place mainly near the 50 m isobath, north of 37° S. Spawning occurred within a temperature range of 9 °C-15 °C that coincided with a bottom thermal front. Size at first maturity, much lower than that reported at the beginning of the 1980s, showed differences between males (27.16 cm TL) and females (32.84 cm TL). The reproductive frequency was estimated at one spawning every 13 days and mean batch fecundity (764,545 oocytes) resulted higher than in April 2003. Likewise, oocyte dry weight exceeded that of April 2003, which might be associated to the size composition of each reproductive group
Distribución y abundancia de huevos y larvas de langostino patagónico (Pleoticus muelleri) (Penaeoidea, Solenoceridae) en las temporadas estivales de 2008 y 2009
(Mar del Plata : Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero INIDEP, 2011) Moriondo Danovaro, P.
The study on distribution and abundance of eggs and early planktonic stages of red shrimp, Pleoticus muelleri (Bate, 1888), contributes to a better knowledge of the species dynamics. Results from processing and analyzing 72 plankton samples collected with Bongo net during two research cruises on board of FV “Arbumasa XVIII” and RV “Capitán Oca Balda”, carried out in the Patagonian littoral in March 2008 and January 2009, are presented. In both cruises, eggs and larval stages were found all over the study area. The highest punctual densities of eggs were recorded in the area known as “La Pared” (46° 45’ S-65° 55’ W and 46° 50’ S-65° 55’ W). Eggs indicate the presence of shrimp reproductive concentrations which, while migrating eastwards towards waters of national jurisdiction, generate production scenarios characterized by high rates of catch per unit of effort and better commercial sizes. In the 2009 cruise, high densities of shrimp eggs were also found near Rawson area.
Distribución y estructura de tallas de la palometa (parona signata, carangidae) y el pampanito (stromateus brasiliensis, stromateidae) en relación con las condiciones oceanográficas en la Zona Común de Pesca (34° s-38° s) y estimación de la longitud de primera madurez sexual. Julio de 2001
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP), 2006) Perrotta, Ricardo G.; Guerrero, Raúl A.; Carozza, Claudia R.; Quiroga, Pedro; Macchi, Gustavo J.
Samples were obtained using bottom trawl nets during a coastal research cruise carried out on board of the RFV “Dr. E. L. Holmberg” between 3rd. and 16th. July 2001. The spatial distribution of surface and bottom temperature and salinity fields was analyzed at the oceanographic stations sampled in each trawl position. The analysis allowed to characterize the oceanographic conditions of the area during the sampling period and to compare them to the historic seasonal mean. 669 leatherjack specimens of 9-55 cm total length (TL) caught at depths ranging 5-29 m and 1,372 butterfish individuals of 6-40 cm total length (TL) caught at depths ranging 4-29 m were sampled. Length at first sexual maturity for both sexes was also estimated. Results were: leatherjack: L50 (cm) = 30.06 and butterfish: L50 (cm) = 23.12. It is worth mentioning that the presence of adult leatherjack near Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires prov., Argentina) suggests that the resource may become one of the target species for the coastal fleet.
Estadística pesquera de peces demersales australes en el Atlántico Sudoccidental (período 1980-2002)
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero, 2007) Gorini, Federico L.; Di Marco, Emiliano; Wöhler, Otto C.
Fishery statistics of austral demersal fishes in the Southwest Atlantic (1980-2002 period). A synthesis of the information available about catches of austral demersal fishes and fishing efforts reported by different fleets that operated in the SW Atlantic between 34° S-58° S in the 1980-2002 period is made. Species included in the analysis were southern blue whiting (Micromesistius australis), patagonian hoki (Macruronus magellanicus), patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides), red cod (Salilota australis), southern hake (Merluccius australis) and ling (Genypterus blacodes). Annual and monthly catches, fishing grounds, number of vessels that participated in the fisheries, main landing ports and other characteristic of interest are presented. When it was necessary to correct official statistics, data bases were modified per fishing area and type of fleet using different catches differentiation criteria
Estimación de un índice de abundancia anual de gatuzo (Mustelus schmitti) a partir de datos de la flota comercial argentina. Período 1992-2008
(INIDEP, 2011) Pérez, M.; Massa, A.M.; Cordo, H.D.
Patagonian smoothhound (Mustelus schmitti) is one of the predominant cartilaginous fishes of the Argentine Sea (SW Atlantic Ocean). It is caught, mainly, in the coastal multispecific fishery with nearly other 30 bony and cartilaginous species. The group is known as ‘variado costero’. In this work the smoothhound abundance indices (CPUE) and standardized efforts for the 1992-2008 period in the area between 34~’S-42~’S were estimated. The General Lineal Model (GLM) and data derived from the argentine commercial fleet were used. Other aspects that could affect estimates and trends of the annual indices were also analyzed. Mean CPUE values estimated with the GLM, considered as annual standardized abundance indices, show an increasing trend as of 2000; the highest relative levels correspond to the last three years of the study period
Estimación de un índice de abundancia anual estandarizado para pescadilla de red (Cynoscion guatucupa), mediante la aplicación de un modelo lineal general; período 1992-2003
(Mar del Plata: Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP), 2007) Ruarte, Claudio; Perrotta, Ricardo G.
The stripped weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) has a wide latitudinal distribution (22° S-43° S) and it is object of fishery in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina (SW Atlantic). In this last country, it is mainly captured in the coastal region of Buenos Aires Province by means of a fleet, which has between 20 m and 30 m length. In Argentina, the average landings in the last 5 years were 9,900 t. It is the second commercial species among the coastal groups. There are two main fishery areas of this species: the Argentinean-Uruguayan Common Fishing Zone (AUCFZ) and the El Rincón area, in the South of bonaerense littoral. Due to the importance of this species, it is necessary to define an index of annual abundance to allow a suitable diagnosis of the fishery condition. The General Linear Model is a suitable model to calculate this index. The factors used in this work were: year, trimester, 4 length categories and 5 sub areas. All of them were significant and reflect spatial-temporal changes in the abundance of this species. The model explained 34% of the total variability in the AUCFZ and 46% in the El Rincón. In general, the trends of catch per unit effort (CPUE) were similar and increasing in both areas, registering a greater increase in the internal areas. On the other hand, the fleet displacements between the areas and the reduction of the total fishery area caused a rise in the annual CPUE and a fall of the captures. These captures were dominated by adults but with an important presence of juveniles in the coastal zone off Mar del Plata city.
