Tridge summary

The article reports a significant increase in the abundance of the Pleoticus muelleri resource in the Chubut water season, leading to record-breaking catch volumes. Despite some challenges, such as more dispersed shellfish and demands from the coastal fleet, the fishery is expected to remain open as long as the catches per unit of effort surpass 400 kilos per hour and the bycatch of hubbsi hake does not increase. This has resulted in historical catch volumes since the jurisdiction of Chubut was opened in November 2022, with the total catch exceeding 88,000 tons from the start of the harvest to mid-March of the current year.

That is the data that is monitored based on the reports of the Observers on Board. Another of the factors that determine an administrative decision to close the area will be a possible increase in the percentages of hubbsi hake caught as a bycatch. In the absence of reports of ...
