Evaluation of Homarus gammarus (Crustacea: Decapoda: Nephropidae) catches and potential in a Mediterranean small-scale fishery

The aim of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the exploitation pattern of the European lobster population in a fully representative small-scale fishery of the Mediterranean (Corsica, France) and to collect initial biological information on this species.

description The aim of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the exploitation pattern of the European lobster population in a fully representative small-scale fishery of the Mediterranean (Corsica, France) and to collect initial biological information on this species. Data were collected by scientific observers on board net fishing vessels for eight consecutive years from 2006 until 2013. Average annual catches were estimated at 6.7 t. Length frequencies indicated that exploitation focused on large individuals. Catch per unit of effort varied significantly as a function of month, fishing area and depth. Our approach to catch distribution revealed spatial heterogeneity with large catches in the south area. A fishery-independent survey was performed in 2013 and 2014 in west Cap Corse using 540 lobster traps; it showed an extremely low catch rate, confirming the low abundance for this area. This study provided new biological knowledge of a little-studied species in the Mediterranean. El objetivo de este estudio fue el de obtener una mejor comprensión del patrón de explotación y colectar datos iniciales de las poblaciones de bogavante europeo en una pesquera artesanal representativa del Mediterráneo (Córcega, Francia). Los datos fueron colectados por observadores científicos a bordo de embarcaciones de pesca durante 8 años consecutivos, de 2006 a 2013. Las capturas anuales fueron estimadas a 6,7 toneladas. La frecuencia de las tallas indica que la explotación se concentra en los individuos de gran tamaño. La CPUE varía de manera significativa en función del mes, la zona de pesca y la profundidad. La distribución de las capturas revela que hay una heterogeneidad espacial, con capturas de gran tamaño en la zona sur. Un monitoreo pesquero independiente fue llevado a cabo durante 2013 y 2014 en Cap Corse occidental empleando 540 trampas; éste mostró una tasa de captura extremadamente baja, lo que confirma la escasez de bogavante europeo en esta área. Este estudio aportó nuevos conocimientos a la biología de esta especie poco estudiada en el Mediterráneo.

Data were collected by scientific observers on board net fishing vessels for eight consecutive years from 2006 until 2013. Average annual catches were estimated at 6.7 t. Length frequencies indicated that exploitation focused on large individuals. Catch per unit of effort varied significantly as a function of month, fishing area and depth. Our approach to catch distribution revealed spatial heterogeneity with large catches in the south area. A fishery-independent survey was performed in 2013 and 2014 in west Cap Corse using 540 lobster traps; it showed an extremely low catch rate, confirming the low abundance for this area. This study provided new biological knowledge of a little-studied species in the Mediterranean. El objetivo de este estudio fue el de obtener una mejor comprensión del patrón de explotación y colectar datos iniciales de las poblaciones de bogavante europeo en una pesquera artesanal representativa del Mediterráneo (Córcega, Francia). Los datos fueron colectados por observadores científicos a bordo de embarcaciones de pesca durante 8 años consecutivos, de 2006 a 2013. Las capturas anuales fueron estimadas a 6,7 toneladas. La frecuencia de las tallas indica que la explotación se concentra en los individuos de gran tamaño. La CPUE varía de manera significativa en función del mes, la zona de pesca y la profundidad. La distribución de las capturas revela que hay una heterogeneidad espacial, con capturas de gran tamaño en la zona sur. Un monitoreo pesquero independiente fue llevado a cabo durante 2013 y 2014 en Cap Corse occidental empleando 540 trampas; éste mostró una tasa de captura extremadamente baja, lo que confirma la escasez de bogavante europeo en esta área. Este estudio aportó nuevos conocimientos a la biología de esta especie poco estudiada en el Mediterráneo.
