Coquimbo, Chile E-mail: [email protected] RESUMEN La larva recientemente eclosionada de Jasusfrontalis corresponde a una larva llamada naupliosoma, la cual presenta un cuerpo redondeado con sus apéndices plegados debajo del cuerpo. Después de 20 min se produce una muda y se origina el primer estado de phyllosoma. Esta larva es fuertemente fototrópica. Presenta un cuerpo fuertemente aplastado dorso-ventralmente, un campo cefálico piriforme y un abdomen rudimentario que termina en una espina corta y tres setas a cada lado. Ojos no pedunculados. Presenta tres pares de pereiópodos, antenas unirameadas y anténulas con dos ramas. El primer y segundo par de pereiópodos presentan un exopodito con seis pares de setas plumosas. Tercer par de pereiópodos unirameado al igual que la anténula, el segundo y tercer par de maxilípedos. Mandíbula con tres dientes incisivos, un borde lateral aserrado y un molar con numerosos dientes pequeños. El primer estados de phyllosoma de J. frmztalis presenta gran similitud con el primer estado larval de Syllarus americanus y de Jasus verreauxi, sin embargo difieren fundamentalmente en el extremo distal del abdomen y longitud de la antena con la primera especie y en el primer maxilípedo con la segunda especie.

  • Applying Fishers' Ecological Knowledge to Construct Past And
    Applying Fishers’ Ecological Knowledge to Construct Past and Future Lobster Stocks in the Juan Ferna´ndez Archipelago, Chile Tyler D. Eddy1*, Jonathan P. A. Gardner1, Alejandro Pe´rez-Matus2 1 School of Biological Sciences, Centre for Marine Environmental and Economic Research, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 2 Victoria University Coastal Ecology Laboratory, School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Abstract Over-exploited fisheries are a common feature of the modern world and a range of solutions including area closures (marine reserves; MRs), effort reduction, gear changes, ecosystem-based management, incentives and co-management have been suggested as techniques to rebuild over-fished populations. Historic accounts of lobster (Jasus frontalis) on the Chilean Juan Ferna´ndez Archipelago indicate a high abundance at all depths (intertidal to approximately 165 m), but presently lobsters are found almost exclusively in deeper regions of their natural distribution. Fishers’ ecological knowledge (FEK) tells a story of serial depletion in lobster abundance at fishing grounds located closest to the fishing port with an associated decline in catch per unit effort (CPUE) throughout recent history. We have re-constructed baselines of lobster biomass throughout human history on the archipelago using historic data, the fishery catch record and FEK to permit examination of the potential effects of MRs, effort reduction and co-management (stewardship of catch) to restore stocks. We employed a bioeconomic model using FEK, fishery catch and effort data, underwater survey information, predicted population growth and response to MR protection (no-take) to explore different management strategies and their trade-offs to restore stocks and improve catches.

Arana2 1Departamento de Oceanografía, Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile 2Escuela de Ciencias del Mar, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile Corresponding author: Marco Antonio Retamal ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. The Chilean oceanic islands are located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean and include Easter Island, Salas y Gómez Island, Desventuradas Islands (San Félix Island and San Ambrosio Island), and the Juan Fernández Archipelago. They are of volcanic origin and are the emerged peaks of seamounts that form part of the Salas y Gómez and Nazca ranges that rise up from the Nazca tectonic plate. The islands are at a great distance from each other and from the South American continent, and their surrounding areas have depths around 4000 m to the ocean floor. The objective of this study is to update stomatopods and decapods records from these islands, from their surrounding waters and from the seamount ranges of which they are part of. Given that there is little information on some of these sites, and the records are disperse, a literature review is carried out, analysing different sources including both published reports and reports with limited circulation. To date, three families of Stomatopoda with five species and 57 families of Decapoda with 194 species have been recorded.

  • Strengthening of a Traditional Territorial Tenure System Through Protagonism in Monitoring Activities by Lobster Fishermen from the Juan Fernández Islands, Chile
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 86(2): 315–338, 2010 MOTE SYMPOSIUM INVITED PAPER STRENGTHENING OF A TRADITIONAL TERRITORIAL TENURE SYSTEM THROUGH PROTAGONISM IN MONITORING ACTIVITIES BY LOBSTER FISHERMEN FROM THE JUAN FERNÁNDEZ ISLANDS, CHILE Billy Ernst, Pablo Manríquez, J. M. (Lobo) Orensanz, Rubén Roa, Julio Chamorro, and Carolina Parada ABSTRACT A small-scale rock lobster [Jasus frontalis (Milne-Edwards, 1837)] fishery has operated for decades in the Juan Fernández Archipelago (Chile) under a traditional territorial tenure system that has put an effective cap on the size of the fishing force. Research on this fishery started in the mid 1960s, but time series of basic indicators other than annual landings have not been collected on a regular basis. Scientific input to the central administration has consisted of sporadic monitoring and assessments, the latter consisting of equilibrium models supporting total- allowable-catch recommendations, but introduction of such a system in the tightly structured but informal management system could have undesirable effects for both the social and biological sectors of the fishery. Seeing the need for improved advice, the local fishermen’s organization (“syndicate”) acted to develop its own spatially explicit indicators of stock status and fishery performance, which could be made available to the fisheries authority and used in fostering strategies compatible with the informal but effective management system. A collaborative effort between the syndicate and independent scientists led to the design and implementation of a cost-effective logbook-sampling program. Under this bottom-up arrangement data are shared voluntarily by individual fishermen and compiled with assistance from the syndicate. The spatially explicit information collected is used to compute and standardize a robust and precise index of relative abundance.

This document seeks to comply with the application requirements of SPRFMO Conservation and Management Measure (CMM) 13-2016 and includes, in full, all information material to such application for consideration by the SPRFMO SC at its next meeting in September 2017 and thereafter by the Commission, when it meets in early 2018. This application contains in full the Fisheries Operation Plan as required by CMM 13-2016 for the 3 years of 2018, 1019 & 2020. The applicant, GS, acknowledges that since earlier exploratory and commercial voyages in the South Pacific with respect to the target species, that changes in respect of high seas management, in particular, the formation of SPRFMO, now mandate that interactions and footprints left on the environment are accounted for.
