RESUMEN: El manejo de pesquerías basado en el ecosistema se ha percibido como algo deseable, pero de manera pragmática imposible de lograr debido a ciertos impedimentos que fueron identificados durante la fase de implementación del enfoque. Al pasar de los años, muchos de estos impedimentos se han resuelto pero esto no se le ha comunicado a los... Read More
ABSTRACT: Ecosystem-based fisheries management has been perceived as something desirable but pragmatically unachievable due to several impediments identified earlier during its implementation phase. Over the years, many of these impediments have been resolved but not well communicated to stakeholders, managers, scientists, and policymakers. As a result, several past impediments to implementing ecosystem-based fisheries management have... Read More
Un nuevo paradigma embrionario de impronta en programas de cultivo La fuga de salmones cultivados es un asunto considerable para la conservación y recuperación de muchas poblaciones naturales de salmón. Los manejadores de pesquerías han intentado minimizar las interacciones negativas de orden ecológico y genético entre los peces cultivados y los silvestres mediante el uso... Read More
A New Embryonic Imprinting Paradigm for Hatchery Programs Straying by hatchery-reared salmon is a major concern for conservation and recovery of many salmon populations. Fisheries managers have attempted to minimize negative ecological and genetic interactions between hatchery and wild fish by using parr-smolt acclimation facilities to ensure successful olfactory imprinting and homing fidelity. However, the effectiveness... Read More
Publications that involve the identification of important fisheries species generally do not relate scientific names to common names in landing records. For this reason, and in order to contribute to improving the quality of fisheries statistics and the works based on them, Mexico’s National Commission of Aquaculture and Fisheries (CONAPESCA) and the National Polytechnic Institute...

LONG-TERM RESEARCH As we conduct fieldwork and process samples in the lab afterwards, we often ponder what the real sample size is. We measured hundreds or thousands of fish, shrimp, clams, or whatever it is that we work on. These seem like adequate sample sizes until we remember that they were all collected at a... Read More
ABSTRACT: Despite the conspicuous character of sawfish (Pristis spp.) in shallow estuarine waters, current records in the southern Gulf of Mexico are so scarce that they have been declared locally extinct from many areas where they formerly occurred (Fernandez-Carvalho et al. 2013). In Mexican waters of the Gulf of Mexico, historical reports for sawfish exist for... Read More
RESUMEN: La lamprea del Pacífico (Entosphenus tridentatus) ha sido parte esencial de la comunidad ecológica y ha co-evolucionado con especies acuáticas de los ríos del oeste de los EE.UU. La falta de información sobre la lamprea del Pacífico ha entorpecido los esfuerzos de manejo y conservación. Con el fin de evaluar y conservar la lamprea... Read More
Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) have been an important part of the ecological community and co-evolved with aquatic species of the western rivers of the United States. Scarce information on Pacific Lamprey has hindered conservation and management efforts. To assess and conserve Pacific Lamprey, we developed a conservation initiative composed of three parts: assessment, conservation agreement,... Read More
Aprendiendo manejo y manejando el aprendizaje: sostenibilidad de pesquerías recreativas de agua dulce en un ambiente cambiante RESUMEN: Los cuerpos de agua dulce están siendo transformados por múltiples factores ambientales, lo que genera incertidumbre sobre lo que sucederá en el futuro. Una forma de enfrentar esta incertidumbre es el manejo de la resiliencia con respeto... Read More
