DELEGACIÓN BENITO JUÁREZ, MÉXICO, D.F., www.inapesca.gob.mx PORTADA Y LOGO DEL EVENTO ISIDRO “EL PESCADOR” de Ramiz Barquet El Pescador, es una escultura de bronce creada por el artista mexicano de ascendencia libanesa, Ramiz Barquet, está ubicada en la intersección de tres calles, Libertad, Agustín Ramírez e Insurgentes en el centro de Puerto Vallarta. A Ramiz le gustaba llamar al pescador "Isidro", la escultura fue donada por su esposa, Nelly, la misma Nelly que inspiró la más famosa de sus esculturas, La Nostalgia, en el Malecón de Puerto Vallarta. Inaugurada el 12 de enero de 1996, "Isidro, el pescador" rinde homenaje a uno de esos personajes típicos del Viejo Vallarta que tienen el noble oficio de ser pescadores. En la placa descriptiva de la escultura se puede leer la siguiente leyenda: "Todas las mañanas el pescador descalzo, con su sombrero todavía húmedo por la brisa y con el pantalón arremangado hasta las rodillas, anunciaba su paso por las calles del pueblo, golpeando el cuchillo contra su remo, de cuyo extremos colgaba la pesca de la mañana.” Obra promovida por el Ayuntamiento de Puerto Vallarta y Colegio de Arquitectos. Obra donada por Arq. David Loera Márquez. Escultura donada por Sra. Nelly Galván de Barquet, José Ramiz Barquet (1920-2010). Nació el 7 de marzo de 1920 en la Ciudad de México, murió el 4 de julio de 2010 en Puerto Vallarta, Jal.; disfruto y vivió 38 años en Puerto Vallarta con su esposa, Nelly Galván de Barquet. Es sin duda el artista que más esculturas ha ofrecido para adornar las calles y plazas de Puerto Vallarta. Iniciando en 1984 con "La Nostalgia", sus obras están en toda la ciudad, Ciudad de México y alrededor del mundo. VIII Foro Científico de Pesca Ribereña Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. 2016 PRESENTACIÓN El Foro Científico de Pesca Ribereña La seguridad alimentaria ha sido una de las metas que se persiguen en los últimos años, aunado a la sostenibilidad de los recursos pesqueros. Esto hace que el estudio de la pesca ribereña, o artesanal o de pequeña escala sea una tarea importante. La actividad en sí aporta el estandarte de proveer de alimento altamente nutritivo a un gran número de personas de nuestro país. La pesca ribereña genera más de 214 mil empleos directos en las costas de México (FAO 2016), la mayoría en las zonas rurales; produce 800,000 toneladas de pescado y mariscos por año, incluidos los productos de aguas continentales y acuacultura, para el consumo humano directo (CONAPESCA 2015). Con la finalidad de compartir resultados, metodologías para su estudio y experiencias de esta actividad de pesca multiespecífica, de variados métodos de extracción, diversos temas por estudiar y problemas qué enfrentar, hace 16 años se creó el Foro Científico de Pesca Ribereña. En estas reuniones bienales hemos avanzado juntos y de manera paralela en el estudio de este tema. En este VIII Foro Científico de Pesca Ribereña se han acopiado 139 resúmenes de trabajos de investigación procedentes de 22 instituciones, incluyendo 17 universidades, 5 ONG, y 14 CRIPs más Oficinas Centrales del INAPESCA. De los resúmenes recibidos, 95 son en modalidad oral y 42 en cartel, y participan representantes de 17 estados de nuestro país. Nos honran con su presencia investigadores con temas de investigación sobre biología de los organismos acuáticos, sobre pesquerías, y también sobre los aspectos sociales, económicos y financieros de la pesca. Entre las conclusiones de sus trabajos, se vislumbran resultados del estatus de las poblaciones que soportan las diferentes pesquerías ribereñas, estrategias para su aprovechamiento, información valiosa para enriquecer la Carta Nacional Pesquera y los Planes de Manejo, para la preservación de los recursos pesqueros. Al considerar de importancia a las poblaciones de elasmobranquios en la actividad de la pesca ribereña, en este evento participan 38 trabajos sobre estos recursos, aunque anteriormente no han sido tema a tratar. Agradecemos a los dos ponentes magistrales invitados: Ramón Bonfil y Francisco Javier Concha Toro, quienes tomaron tiempo de su ocupada agenda para darnos una plática. Esta reunión representa una excelente oportunidad para discutir los temas prioritarios de nuestras pesquerías, su entorno ecológico y el manejo más adecuado, que favorezcan el desarrollo productivo y sustentable del sector pesquero, en el estricto apego de un aprovechamiento responsable. ¡Bienvenidos al VIII Foro Científico de Pesca Ribereña! COMITÉ ORGANIZADOR Puerto Vallarta, Jal., 6 a 8 de septiembre de 2016. i VIII Foro Científico de Pesca Ribereña Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. 2016 La trayectoria profesional del Dr. Luis López Guerrero Luis López Guerrero nació en Fresnillo Zacatecas profesor invitado y de asignatura en niveles medio en 1942, un ambiente muy distinto al marítimo y superior y superior de numerosas universidades. costero donde prácticamente ejerció toda su vida profesional. Por este motivo fue difícil adaptarse al clima que impera en la mayoría de nuestras costas. Su trabajo se desarrolló en las áreas de biología y administración pesquera, además del ámbito académico y como consultor independiente. En 1965 inició su labor profesional en el Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Biológico-Pesqueras, actualmente INAPESCA, como biólogo adscrito a la estación de biología de Mazatlán, Sinaloa, estudiando larvas y postlarvas de camarón (tema de su tesis profesional) y realizando muestreos para el establecimiento de la temporada de pesca de camarón en lagunas costeras y altamar de Sinaloa y Norte de Nayarit. También estudió la fauna de acompañamiento de esta pesquería. Durante este periodo brindó también asesorías a los pescadores de las lagunas costeras. De particular importancia fue su labor en la En 1969 fue nombrado jefe del Departamento de Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Crustáceos, trabajando como contraparte del Xochimilco, de 1978 a 1990, donde conjuntó proyecto PNUD-FAO (Programa de Investigaciones docencia con investigación. y Fomento México). En 1971 la Dirección General En el Instituto Tecnológico del Mar Núm. 1 fue de Regiones Pesqueras lo comisionó como jefe de director y docente de la carrera en ingeniería la oficina de pesca de Ciudad del Carmen pesquera. En el ITMAR Núm. 6, actualmente Campeche con el objetivo de aplicar la Instituto Tecnológico de Bahía de Banderas, logró normatividad en la administración de la actividad incrementar la infraestructura y se inició la actividad pesquera local. de investigación de una manera muy importante Trabajó como consultor independiente, de 1972 a Al platicar con él, se percibe una gran simpatía por 1978, para Consultores en Ingeniería Fluvio- los pescadores, donde menciona que gracias a Marítima S.A. (CIFSA) y Acuacultura Internacional ellos se acentuó su vocación por trabajar en la S.A. (AISA), con estudios de biología pesquera, pesca. De igual manera, trabajó promoviendo la ecología y acuacultura, desarrollo portuario, ostricultura en bahías de Sinaloa y en la Laguna de (HARRIS-BCEOM) y el Fondo Internacional para el Términos Campeche, demostrando su viabilidad.

Yamashiro South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation 28 Aug 15 3rd Meeting of the Scientific Committee SC-03-17 Port Vila, Vanuatu, 28 September - 3 October 2015 Main biological and fishery aspects of the jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) in the Peruvian Humboldt Current System by Jorge Csirke, Ana Alegre, Juan Argüelles, Renato Guevara-Carrasco, Luís Mariátegui, Marceliano Segura, Ricardo Tafúr and Cármen Yamashiro Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE), Chucuito, Callao, Perú Summary Jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is found in high abundance along the whole Peruvian coast from 10 to more than 500 nm from the coast. Performs diel vertical migrations from 0 to more than 650 m depth, and regular inshore-offshore ontogenetic migrations and less regular latitudinal migrations of several hundred miles. Younger and/or smaller jumbo squids predominate in oceanic waters, while larger jumbo squids are more neritic. Maintains some reproductive activity all year round, with increased reproductive activity from July to February and peaks between October and January. Life span is usually one year, although some specimens can live up to two years. Slight differences in the age or size of sexual maturity and main distribution areas suggests that there are least three strains, groups or population subunits of jumbo squid inhabiting the Peruvian Humboldt Current System. Is a very aggressive predator and prey availability seems to be more important than temperature or other environmental parameters in shaping its geographic distribution.

NADH2 sequence data indicate that these specimens are not conspecific with those currently referred to as Z. chilensis from Chile and, in fact, represent a novel cryptic species. This study aimed to investigate this hypothesis based on morphological comparisons of specimens from the coasts of both western and eastern South America.

Wolff November 1984 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS NMFS The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for optimum use of the resources. NMFS is also charged with the development and implemen­ tation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS series was established in 1983 to replace two subcategories of the Technical Reports series: "Special Scientific Report-Fisheries" and "Circular." The series contains the following types of reports: Scientific investigations that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS, intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope, papers on applied fishery problems, technical reports of general interest intended to aid conservation and management, reports that review in considerable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research, and technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations.

Numbers of dusky sharks, Carcharhinus obscurus, in the Western North Atlantic have drastically declined over the past twenty years. Several fishery-dependent and fishery-independent studies have recorded the decline of this slow growing, late maturing, long-lived species. It is imperative for the survival of this species that we develop accurate demographic and biological parameter estimates to ensure proper management.

    06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 15 Phylum Chordata Chordates are placed in the superphylum Deuterostomia. The possible rela- tionships of the chordates and deuterostomes to other metazoans are dis- cussed in Halanych (2004). He restricts the taxon of deuterostomes to the chordates and their proposed immediate sister group, a taxon comprising the hemichordates, echinoderms, and the wormlike Xenoturbella. The phylum Chordata has been used by most recent workers to encompass members of the subphyla Urochordata (tunicates or sea-squirts), Cephalochordata (lancelets), and Craniata (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). The Cephalochordata and Craniata form a mono- phyletic group (e.g., Cameron et al., 2000; Halanych, 2004). Much disagree- ment exists concerning the interrelationships and classification of the Chordata, and the inclusion of the urochordates as sister to the cephalochor- dates and craniates is not as broadly held as the sister-group relationship of cephalochordates and craniates (Halanych, 2004). Many excitingCOPYRIGHTED fossil finds in recent years MATERIAL reveal what the first fishes may have looked like, and these finds push the fossil record of fishes back into the early Cambrian, far further back than previously known. There is still much difference of opinion on the phylogenetic position of these new Cambrian species, and many new discoveries and changes in early fish systematics may be expected over the next decade. As noted by Halanych (2004), D.-G. (D.) Shu and collaborators have discovered fossil ascidians (e.g., Cheungkongella), cephalochordate-like yunnanozoans (Haikouella and Yunnanozoon), and jaw- less craniates (Myllokunmingia, and its junior synonym Haikouichthys) over the 15 06_250317 part1-3.qxd 12/13/05 7:32 PM Page 16 16 Fishes of the World last few years that push the origins of these three major taxa at least into the Lower Cambrian (approximately 530–540 million years ago).
