An analysis was conducted to estimate the minimum mesh
size for managing the common Chilean hake (Merluccius gayi)
fishery. Secondary objectives were to establish the
selective relationship between mesh size and fish length,
to examine growth patterns and related parameters, and to
estimate the critical age (or optimum size) at...
This paper is an attempt to summarize our actual knowledge about the marine resources available in the area. It also analyzes the situation of the fishery and the principal aspects involved in a possible plan for an integral fisheries development of the Oceanic region around the islands. This plan could...
One of the most important fisheries of the Austral zone,
corresponding to the Magallanes area and the Magellan Strait,
is the king crab (Centolla), Lithodes antarctica. The basic objective of this project is to describe the fisheries of this resource from an economic-biological stand point.
