Abstract:
The official catch records generally are carried out in the landing
operations. There three categories of fishing that are not included in
landings; illegal, unreported and unregulated catch (IUU) and are
considered like lack of information. It is necessary, to consider these
categories of fishing to know the true impact of the fishing upon the
fisheries resources and then propose adequate management measures. In
this paper illegal fishing of abalone and lobster from western coast of Baja
California peninsula, Mexico is analyzed in order to estimate the problem
magnitude. From official records of landings and information of illegal
fishing reports we do an estimation of total extraction of these resources
using Montecarlo´s simulation method.
