Title

Species composition and income from coastal fishing mollusks on the Costa Grande of Guerrero Mexico

Abstract

Mollusks are a valuable food source and have a high commercial value. In Guerrero, Mexico, this naturalresource is at risk due to inadequate exploitation and the lack of biological and fisheries studies. This research focused on determining which species are caught for commercial purposes and looking for information on the captures of mollusks made by artisanal fisheries. The sampling took place from May to December 2017, and consisted of visiting the Cooperative Fisheries Production Societies (CFPS) as well as places where mollusks are commercialized, where species were identified and quantified in situ. A total of 1,184 organisms were examined, 24 species were identified. The species Striostrea prismatica, Trochita trochiformis and Hexaplex princeps are the ones with the highest volume of catch and are also the ones that generate the highest economic income in the region.

Los moluscos son una valiosa fuente de alimento y tienen un alto valor comercial. En Guerrero, México, este recurso natural está en riesgo debido a una explotación inadecuada y la falta de estudios biológicos y pesqueros. Esta investigación se centró en determinar qué especies se capturan con fines comerciales y buscar información sobre las capturas de moluscos realizadas por las pesquerías artesanales. El muestreo se desarrolló de mayo a diciembre de 2017, consistió en visitar las Cooperativas de Producción Pesquera (SCPP) así como lugares donde se expenden moluscos, donde se procedió a identificar y cuantificar especies in situ. Se examinaron un total de 1.184 organismos, se identificaron 24 especies. Las especies Striostrea prismatica, Trochita trochiformis y Hexaplex princeps son las de mayor volumen de captura y también son las que generan mayores ingresos económicos en la región.
