This contract followed a formal competition by the APEC Secretariat. Fisheries is one of the 15 sectors targeted for early voluntary sectoral liberalization (EVSL) and, within the 15, is one of nine (9) sectors identified as fast-track candidates for accelerated trade liberalization. Overall, APEC hopes to achieve fully liberalized trade between APEC developed economy members by 2010, and between all APEC economies by 2020. In light of this targeted liberalization, APEC Trade Ministers requested that this project be carried out, and are expecting the final results

The study is based on the analysis of 12 samplings, from October 2001 to May 2002, in which 668 organisms were collected. The size range recorded was 2.1 to 41.5 mm total length. The males had smaller sizes than females, and were classified as juveniles, form I and form II. The constant presence of form I males and ovigerous females, together with the presence of small sized individuals in most of the samples suggest that there is a continuous reproduction during the study period. The growth estimates, based on a modal progression analysis of length-frequency data, resulted in a mean daily growth rate of 0.084 mm, or a mean monthly rate of 2.535 mm. The sizes at first reproduction were 24 mm total length for females and 21 mm for males, attained between 248 and 284 days of age. The mortality estimate, computed as Z (instantaneous mortality rate), shows that there is a high mortality during the first two months of life and that only 4% of the population is reaching reproductive sizes. No relation was found between number of C.

Para ello, se formularon dietas con 4 niveles de proteína cruda (20.45, 28.50, 37.33 y 45.44%). Se utilizó un diseño experimental simple con un arreglo aleatorio, con cinco replicados por tratamiento. Las unidades experimentales fueron cajas de plástico de 0.30 m2, con 15 juveniles, cuyo peso fue 0.72 ±0.15 g. Se realizaron biometrías de crecimiento (cm), peso ganado (g) y al final, se determinó el peso y crecimiento totales, sobrevivencia y F.C.A.

  • Biological Parameters of the Burrowing Crayfish, Parastacus Pugnax (Poeppig, 1835), in Tiuquilemu, Bío-Bío Region, Chile
    Lat. Am. J. Aquat. Res., 40(2): 418-427, 2012 Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research 418 DOI: 10.3856/vol40-issue2-fulltext-16 Research Article Biological parameters of the burrowing crayfish, Parastacus pugnax (Poeppig, 1835), in Tiuquilemu, Bío-Bío Region, Chile Mauricio A. Ibarra1 & Patricio M. Arana1 1Escuela de Ciencias del Mar, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso P.O. Box 1020, Valparaíso, Chile ABSTRACT. In order to determine the biological parameters of the burrowing crayfish (Parastacus pugnax), we fenced in 900 m2 of a humid, low-lying sector in Tiuquilemu, Bío-Bío Region, Chile. Monthly samples were taken from August 2007 to August 2008, and 3,512 specimens were caught. Records were made of their carapace length (CL), total weight (TW), sex, and number of eggs (for females). The monthly size-structures showed few juveniles between 20 and 30 mm CL in nearly all months. P. pugnax was found to carry eggs from mid-spring through late autumn; size at first maturity for females was 38.1 mm CL; and fecundity varied between three and 45 eggs per female. In terms of the global sexual proportion, males were predominant in 11 of the 12 months, although the ratio was as expected (1:1). We estimated the parameters of the growth curve -1 using modal progression analysis, obtaining CL∞, K, and t0 values of 55.3 mm, 0.23 mm year , and -0.58 years, respectively. The length-weight relationship was calculated separately for males and females, and no significant differences were found between sexes. The common parameters defining the potential function of a = 0.00052 and b = 2.98 (P < 0.05) indicated isometric increments in weight.
