Development of a stochastic bioeconomic model for the red octopus fishery on the Yucatan Peninsula: Implications for management

Although much effort has been dedicated to the management of the red octopus fishery on the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico), managers have yet to incorporate economic aspects to ensure sustainable and profitable exploitation of this fishery resource. We developed a bioeconomic model that incorporated the...

description Although much effort has been dedicated to the management of the red octopus fishery on the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico), managers have yet to incorporate economic aspects to ensure sustainable and profitable exploitation of this fishery resource. We developed a bioeconomic model that incorporated the uncertainty for the r and K parameters. We fit 3 models (Schaefer, Fox, and Pella–Tomlinson) to abundance index survey data and used the Akaike information criterion for model selection. The best fit corresponded to the Schaefer model. We built deterministic and stochastic versions of the Gordon–Schaefer model. Economic data (costs and prices) were determined from inter[1]views with fishermen. To estimate the posterior distributions of parameters and indicators, we used Bayesian methods with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations. The deterministic results suggested that the maximum sustainable income was Mex$851.70 million, with a fishing effort of 3,650 fishing boats, while the maximum sustainable profit was $390.8 million, with a fishing effort of 2,472 fishing boats. The equilibrium point corresponded to an effort of 4,945 fishing boats. Regarding the stochastic model, the MCMC simulation results suggest that the maximum sustainable income distribution was not normal; its average was $856.1 million (SE 1.8) and the most likely value was $849.50 million. The most likely fishing effort at equilibrium was 4,970 fishing boats. Our results suggest the fishery could be operating close to the economic equilibrium point; if this is the case, fishing effort must decrease in order for annual profit to increase. Our approach will help make periodical re-evaluations of the fishery and establish management strategies to ensure the profitable and sustainable exploitation of the red octopus on the Yucatan Peninsula.

A pesar del gran esfuerzo dedicado al manejo de la pesquería de pulpo rojo en la península de Yucatán (México), las autoridades pesqueras aún necesitan incorporar aspectos económicos para asegurar la explotación sostenible y rentable de este recurso. Desarrollamos un modelo bioeconómico que incorporó la incertidumbre de los parámetros r y K. Ajustamos 3 modelos (Schaefer, Fox y PellaTomlinson) a los datos de índice de abundancia de campañas de muestreo y utilizamos el criterio de Akaike para la selección del modelo. El mejor ajuste correspondió al modelo de Schaefer. Construimos versiones deterministas y estocásticas del modelo de Gordon-Schaefer. Los datos económicos (costos y precios) se determinaron a partir de entrevistas con pescadores. Para estimar las distribuciones posteriores de los parámetros y los indicadores, utilizamos métodos bayesianos con simulaciones de cadenas de Markov Monte Carlo (CMMC). Los resultados deterministas sugirieron que el ingreso máximo sostenible fue Mex$851.70 millones, con un esfuerzo de pesca de 3,650 embarcaciones pesqueras, mientras que el beneficio máximo sostenible fue de $390.80 millones, con un esfuerzo de pesca de 2,472 embarcaciones pesqueras. El punto de equilibrio correspondió a un esfuerzo de 4,945 embarcaciones pesqueras. Respecto al modelo estocástico, los resultados de la simulación de CMMC sugieren que la distribución del ingreso máximo sostenible no fue normal; su promedio fue de $856.1 millones (error estándar de 1.8) y el valor más probable fue de $849.50 millones. El esfuerzo de pesca de equilibrio más probable fue de 4,970 embarcaciones pesqueras. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la pesquería podría estar operando cerca del punto de equilibrio económico; si este es el caso, el esfuerzo pesquero debería disminuir para incrementar la ganancia anual. Nuestro enfoque permitirá reevaluar la pesquería periódicamente y establecer estrategias de manejo para asegurar una explotación rentable y sustentable del pulpo rojo en la península de Yucatán.
