MEXICO – Innovate new methods of catching lobsters

To evaluate the efficiency of the traps to catch spiny lobsters on coast of Oaxaca and Guerrero, are testing new methods of sustainability later, Oswaldo Morales said Pacheco, Head of the Regional Centre for Fisheries Research (CRIP) of Salina Cruz.

The new method of scientific and technological knowledge will transfer to the fishing, productive sector in the use of an art of fishing.

The intention is to assess the catch of spiny lobsters and generate scientific and technological knowledge that allow its transfer to the fisheries sector in the use of sustainable fishing art and design modifications and construction in the Pacific Ocean.

Oswaldo Morales Pacheco said that the technological innovation of the rigid trap to swing, reduce investment costs, allowing the transfer of a larger number of trap areas of Fisheries.

It also contributes to higher profits by selling the product as lobster trap captures were larger organisms, which improves the quality and price of the product, and protect the resource, capturing a very low percentage of ovigerous females.

Finally, replacement of traditional fishing craft or hook to lobster traps, should be performed by training coppice where biological and fishery resource information and constructive technical characteristics of this innovation is provided.

The hinged trap reduces operating costs to be transported in larger quantities, reducing the number of boats and fuel costs.

You may carry up to 25 traps in a boat or land vehicle, because they occupy less space and volume. In the modification of the trap, the covers are removed, allowing a saving of mesh 2.5 X 2.5 inches. Lids were added to the feeders, thus preventing the bait is easily lost and remain longer.

He mentioned that these modern water features reduce mortality of organisms to be returned to the sea when not meet the minimum legal size or when they are ovigerous females.
Contribute to the sustainability of the resource, capturing organisms larger size and decreasing the capture of females.
The traps will prevent health problems fishermen in terms of inappropriate or excessive decompression dive, he said.
