Postlarvas Y Juveniles De Camarones Farfantepenaeus SPP Y Xiphopenaeus

Abstract

Postlarvae and juvonilos of Farlantepenaous spp. and Xiphopenaeus kroyen were collected at Boca de la Barra (Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta) by means of a channel net that orientates with tho tido. Sampling was carried out every two weeks for a year (February 1998-February 1999) so that oach sampling date corresponded to full and now moon alternatively. Farlantopenaous spp postlarvae tended to appear in tho dry soason and with significantly greater abundance during full moon (Mann-Whitney test. P<0.05). Juveniles showed a different pattern: there were significant differences between seasons (Mann-Whitney test. P<0.05) with higher concentrations in tho rainy soason. but not so between moon phasos (Mann-Whitnoy tost. P>0.05). In tho caso o! X. kroyen in no instance s»gnifcant differences were found between seasons or moon pitases (Mann-Whitney lest, P>0.05). However, some tendencies can be pointed out: postlarvae appeared in higher proportions during the new moon but no ma;or diHoronco was rocordod botwoon soasons whoroas juvonilos appeared in greater concentracions in the rainy season with almost no difference between moon phases. These results are disscused in torms of the scanty historical previous work. The relations Tl-CL and CL-Woight and somo morphomotnc and monstic foaturos aro roportod

External validity of artefactual field experiments: A study on cooperation, impatience and sustainability in an artisanal fishery in Colombia

“…To reduce the number of fishing nets to be evaluated, based on literature (INVEMAR, 2002;López et al, 2001;Narváez et al, 2008;Rueda and Defeo, 2003;Santos-Martínez et al, 1998) and scholars' knowledge, we defined two groups of mesh sizes for each method: ecologically unsustainable (nets with the smaller mesh size) and ecologically sustainable (nets with the larger mesh size). For the shrimp nets, we defined only one group since shrimps inside CGSM are juveniles and therefore it is unsustainable to catch them (López et al, 2001). Additionally, for each fishing gear, we evaluated jointly two aspects (1) fishing method and (2) the dimension of the fishing gear.…”

Understanding Artisanal Fishers’ Behaviors: The Case of Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, Colombia

“…To reduce the number of fishing nets evaluated, we defined two groups of mesh sizes for each method: ecologically unsustainable (nets with the smaller mesh size) and ecologically sustainable (nets with the larger mesh size) based on fishing literature [34,37,[47][48][49] and scientists' knowledge. For the shrimp nets, we defined only one group since shrimp inside CGSM are juveniles, and therefore, it is unsustainable to catch them [48]. Additionally, for each type of fishing gear, we jointly evaluated two aspects: fishing method and the dimensions of the fishing gear.…”
