Argentina: We noticed a recovery in the state of the corvina

Tridge summary

The article provides an overview of the white croaker landings in Argentina until November 9, with a total of 28,433 tons, primarily in Mar del Plata. Claudio Ruarte and Nerina Lagos discuss the species' biological status and changes in its population. The 2021 season saw a decrease in juveniles and an increase in adult specimens, linked to dry conditions reducing fresh water flow into the Río de la Plata. The Uruguayan fleet consistently unloaded 13,000 tons of corvina, while the Argentine fleet's activities are more variable. Efforts are being made to develop more collaborative fishery management strategies to ensure sustainability and fair use of resources.

Until November 9, the official statistics show that landings of white croaker were declared for 28,433 tons, of which Mar del Plata received 12,395 tons. Claudio Ruarte is the head of the INIDEP Coastal Program and who studies together with Nerina Lagos the biological status and evolution of the species. "The numbers mark a certain stability, it is within the average number of downloads in recent years," says Ruarte in a talk with REVISTA PUERTO in the new auditorium of the Institute. Of the total landings, a similar percentage was contributed by river waters in Bahía Samborombón and the common fishing area on the seafront. "Within the Bay we noticed some changes, especially in the composition of the catches," Ruarte explained. “Until a few years ago, the Mar del Plata fleet captured 70% and that of Lavalle and the ports of the Bay the remaining 30%. Today, as a consequence of the transfer of part of that fleet to other fisheries such as shrimp and the growth of the fleet that ...
