Abstract
espanolLa relacion longitud-peso y el factor de condicion son parametros primarios en la evaluacion de poblaciones pesqueras. A pesar del potencial pesquero de los calamares loliginidos en Mexico, el grupo es escasamente conocido y no hay un manejo formal implementado. Un total de 1,105 calamares capturados en aguas mexicanas del Pacifico y del Atlantico fueron medidos para estimar la relacion longitud-peso y los factores de condicion. Excepto Lolliguncula brevis y Lolliguncula argus, todas las especies presentaron crecimiento alometrico negativo. Las 2 especies con crecimiento isometrico presentaron una condicion pobre, segun el factor de condicion de Fulton, y el resto de las especies presentaron buena condicion de salud, segun el factor de condicion relativo. El tipo de crecimiento encontrado en las especies identificadas en este estudio puede estar relacionado con sus habitos de nado o, de otra manera, puede ser afectado por las mismas variables que determinan el tipo de crecimiento de otros calamares encontrados en aguas mexicanas. Los parametros evaluados en esta investigacion ahora se encuentran disponibles para ser incorporados en futuros modelos de manejo de poblaciones pesqueras de calamares loliginidos. EnglishThe length–weight relationship and the condition factor are key parameters in stock assessment. Despite the fisheries potential loliginid squids have in Mexico, the group is scarcely known and no formal management has been implemented. A total of 1,105 squids captured on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Mexico were measured to estimate length–weight relations and condition factors. Except for Lolliguncula brevis and Lolliguncula argus, all species showed negative allometric growth. The 2 species with isometric growth showed a poor condition, according to Fulton’s condition factor, and the rest of the species were in good health, according to the relative condition factor. The type of growth exhibited by the species identified in this study could be associated with their swimming habits or otherwise be affected by the same variables that determine the type of growth of other squid found in Mexican waters. The parameters evaluated in this research are now available for incorporation in further fishery stock assessment models for loliginid squids.
期刊介绍:
A bilingual open-access publication, Ciencias Marinas (CM) is an international peer-reviewed journal that contains original research findings in all areas of marine science. It is published quarterly by the Autonomous University of Baja California, Mexico, and all its contents are publicly available on our journal website. Though a limited number of copies are still printed, the journal is mainly distributed in its electronic format.
CM was conceived in 1973 as part of an academic project aimed to entice local researchers to publicly disclose their findings by adopting the culture of peer-review publishing. This academic project evolved into an international journal after accepting papers from researchers in the United States and, eventually, other parts of the world. Because of the diversity in authorship, CM issues were initially published in either Spanish or English, and occasionally in both languages. It was not until 1984 when CM included both language versions of all its contents, and it then became the fully bilingual journal it still is today. At CM we believe our inclusive format allows us not only to address a wider range of submissions from international authors but also to make published findings available to a wider international audience.
So whether you are looking for information on the redfish in Icelandic waters or the physical and biological properties of the Gulf of California, feel free to peruse CM contents. You may find them to provide source material for your research.
