Analysis of null sets (zero catch) made by the Mexican tuna purse seine fleet (2000–2013)

The world tuna fishing fleet is dominated by purse seine boats. Purse seine sets are sometimes unsuccessful in capturing fish; these unsuccessful attempts are known as null sets. Null sets have been widely documented and the numbers indicate that they happen in large proportions. In Mexico, the tuna...

Null sets on free-swimming fish schools and between June and July had a higher relative representation. The region with highest relative occurrence was the mouth of the Gulf of California (between August and October). A positive correlation was observed between the occurrence of null sets on free-swimming fish schools and the Multivariate El Niño Index.

A nivel mundial, la flota atunera está dominada por embarcaciones con red de cerco como principal arte de captura. En ocasiones, al realizar los lances, no hay éxito de captura y a esos lances se les conoce como lances nulos. Los lances nulos han sido ampliamente documentados y se ha observado que ocurren en una gran proporción. En México, la pesca de túnidos representa la segunda pesquería más importante en volumen y valor. La finalidad de este trabajo fue analizar la frecuencia de ocurrencia de los lances nulos durante el periodo 2000–2013 para identificar regiones, periodos y condiciones oceanográficas (e.g., El Niño) asociados a éstos. Los lances nulos tuvieron mayor representación relativa cuando se realizaron sobre cardúmenes libres y entre junio y julio. La frecuencia relativa fue máxima en la boca del golfo de California, entre agosto y octubre. Se observó una correlación positiva entre la ocurrencia de lances nulos asociados a cardúmenes independientes y el Índice Multivariado de El Niño. Los valores máximos de ocurrencia de lances nulos estuvieron relacionados con los meses en los que se observan cambios en la estructura de la columna de agua. La comprensión de este fenómeno (lances nulos) y su asociación a eventos naturales es de suma importancia para la pesquería del atún, ya que podrían observarse importantes repercusiones en la economía y el manejo del recurso. 2015-06-12 2021-06-03T03:55:24Z 2021-06-03T03:55:24Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitrado https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/2471 10.7773/cm.v41i2.2471 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7471 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/2471/1559 Copyright (c) 2015 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 41 No. 2 (2015); 85-92 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 41 Núm. 2 (2015); 85-92 2395-9053 0185-3880
