The assessment process began on 15th October 2015 with the announcement of the fishery. The client Camanchaca Pesca Sur. S.A is the owner of the certificate. One of the main steps when assessing fishery compliance with the International MSC Standard involves meeting with the stakeholders to gather all the relevant information and become aware of any potential issues. The site visit was carried out the week of November 16th, 2015 with selected organisations and individuals with a direct interest in this fishery. The fishery site visit enabled the assessment team to meet with scientists and managers, individual harvesters; the clients; and representatives from environmental/conservation organizations. After the site visit, the team compiled and analysed all the relevant information, as well as the technical, written, and anecdotal resources collected during the visit. Each expert prepared a draft score and justification, and then discussed and weighed up the evidence. Bureau Veritas Certification hereby opened a 30 calendar day consultation period starting 28 th July 2016 to provide stakeholders the opportunity to submit any new information in relation to this fishery. The final assessment team for this fishery assessment comprised of Macarena García who acted as team leader; Julian Addison who was Principle 1 specialist; Gonzalo Macho and Cynthia Fernandez who were responsible for evaluation of Principle 2; Edith Saa who was responsible for evaluation of Principle 3. The squat lobster fisheries is under development for more than 50 years based on the explotation of the following species: Nylon shrimp (Heterocarpus reedi ), shrimp (Haliporoides diomedeae ), yellow squat lobster (Cervimunida johni ) and red squat lobster (Pleuroncodes monodon ). Only the last two are included in the Units of assessments evaluate herein. These resources are very important in term of social and economical point of view.

  • Distribución Y Abundancia De Larvas De Langostino Colorado Pleuroncodes Monodon Frente a La Costa De Concepción, Chile

Mar., Valparaíso, 22: 13-29, 1994 Distribución de larvas de langostino colorado 13 Distribución y abundancia de larvas de langostino colorado Pleuroncodes monodon frente a la costa de Concepción, Chile SERGIO PALMA G. Escuela de Ciencias del Mar Universidad Católica de Valparaíso Casilla 1020, Valparaíso, Chile RESUMEN. Se analiza la distribución y abundancia de larvas de langostino colorado Pleuroncodes monodon captura- das en cuatro cruceros oceanográficos efectuados entre abril y diciembre de 1991, frente a la costa de Concepción, Chile. Las muestras de zooplancton se obtuvieron en 15 estaciones oceanográficas, mediante pescas oblicuas con redes Bongo desde el fondo a superficie, con un máximo de 200 m de profundidad. En todos los cruceros realizados se observó la presencia de larvas de langostino, encontrándose la mayor abundancia en noviembre. Las mayores densidades de larvas se detectaron en aguas sobre la plataforma continental, particularmente en el norte del área de estudio. La biomasa zooplanctónica alcanzó valores máximos en abril y mínimos en junio, registrándose las mayores densidades en aguas de la plataforma, en el norte y sur del área de estudio. La distribución temporal de los distintos estados de desarrollo (zoeas y postlarvas), sugiere el desplazamiento desde la costa hacia el talud, a medida que avanza la metamorfosis larval. La distribución vertical de las larvas mostró una preferencia de los estados de zoea por el estrato 0-25 m, mientras que las postlarvas se concentraron en el estrato 25-50 m. Bajo 50 m de profundidad, se observó una escasa cantidad de individuos. Palabras claves: Pleuroncodes monodon, larvas langostino colorado, biomasa zooplancton, distribución espacio-temporal, abundancia.

The oxygen minimum zones in this region Hypoxia reaches oxygen levels as low as 0.1 kPa at depths within the crabs vertical range. Crabs maintain aerobic me- Zooplankton tabolism to a critical PO2 of ~0.27 ± 0.2 kPa (10 °C), in part by increasing ventilation as oxygen declines. At Hypometabolism subcritical oxygen levels, they enhance anaerobic ATP production slightly as indicated by modest increases in Vertical migration lactate levels. However, hypoxia tolerance is primarily mediated via a pronounced suppression of aerobic me- tabolism (~70%). Metabolic suppression is achieved, primarily, via reduced protein synthesis, which is a major sink for metabolic energy. Posttranslational modifications on histone H3 suggest a condensed chromatin state and, hence, decreased transcription.

In total, 105 species of these parasites (~18% of all bopyrids) are documented from Recent squat lobsters and porcelain crabs in the superfamilies Chirostyloidea and Galatheoidea. Aside from one endoparasite, all the bopyrids reported herein belong to the branchially infesting subfamily Pseudioninae. Approximately 29% (67 of 233 species) of pseudionine species parasitize squat lobsters and 16% (38 of 233 species) parasitize porcelain crabs.

Porter, and Pleuroncodes monodon, Milne Edwards, family Galatheidae. are harvested commercially off Chile. A commercial fishery began by exploiting the first spe­ cies bur. has gradually shifted to harvesting the second. The fishery for Pleuroncodes began in 1966 off San Antonio {L. 33°3S"SJ but has gradually moved southward and now extends to Talcahuano (37°S). There are two possible explanations for this shift in fishing area; (1) increased fishing pressure, and (2) changes in the natural environment. Some support for the second explanation is seen by simultaneous changes observed in other species which may be due to cyclic changes in the environment. Data on the fishery has been collected from 1%b to the present from the area between Coquimbo (30°S) and Talcahuano by the Fisheries Development Institute of Chile (Instituto de Fomento Pesquero, IFOP) by monitoring the fleet at landing ports and from research surveys.

Specimens were collected from experimental hauls in three acoustic pelagic resource assessment surveys during 2001 off the Peruvian coast. A total of 8517 individuals were differentiated according to sex. Males showed clear sexual dimorphism, while females were divided into ovigerous or non- ovigerous individuals. Size did not differ significantly between sexes (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, P > 0.05); average sizes were smaller than 20 mm cephalothoraxic length. The sex ratio indicated that in winter males were more predominant than females (χ2 test, P < 0.05).

  • Growth and Expansion of an Exploited Population of the Squat Lobster (Pleuroncodes Monodon) After 3 Years Without Harvesting

All rights reserved Growth and expansion of an exploited population of the squat lobster (Pleuroncodes monodon) after 3 years without harvesting Ruben Roa**a, Roberto Bahamondeb 'Institute de Fomento Pesquero, Fede Zonal V-IXRegiones, Casilla347, Takahuano, Chile bInstituto de Fomento Pesquero, Sede Valparaiso, Blanco 1067, 4Piso, Valparaiso, Chile (Accepted 7 April 1993) Abstract In 1991, after 3 years of fishery prohibition, the most important surviving population of squat lobster {Pleuroncodes monodon, Galatheidae, Decapoda) on the continental shelf of central Chile, the Achira population (36°S, 73° W), reached the highest biomass recorded since the start of popu­ lation assessments in 1979 (34 084-43 9101,9 5% confidence interval), and expanded its distribution by 56 km to the north. The age composition of the population was characterised by two strong year- classes (1988 and 1989, born at the end of the previous fishing period and at the start of the prohibi­ tion respectively) and a mixture of older year-classes, less important in terms of numerical abun­ dance. Population expansion had a clear spatial structure. The 1989 year class (mean size 23.5 mm carapace length) populated the traditional southern population area, while the 1988 and older year- classes (mean carapace length 33.5 mm and 39.5 mm, respectively) populated the areas to the north which were vacant prior to the fishery closure in 1989. We interpret this spatial structure as the result of size-dependent dispersal capacity, with recruitment of the 1989 year-class providing the impetus for expansion of the individuals of the 1988 and older year-classes.
