Alternative Title
Estado del recurso ostra Americana Crassostrea virginica (Mollusca: Ostreidae) en el río Cauto, Cuba.
Abstract
The phenotypic identification of Crassostrea virginica, Gmelin (1791), as a natural resource in the Cauto River, Cuba, occurs in 2016. The species is part of the commercial catch in the southeastern region of Cuba since 2007. Fishing is free, without reproductive prohibition regulations and the same legal minimum catch size (40 mm) of mangrove oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae, Guilding (1828) is applied. The production of both species is not differentiated in the fisheries statistics of Cuba. This makes it difficult to evaluate and manage the entire oyster resource, so it was a first stock assessment and fishery production of C. virginica in the Cauto River. The annual total catch data 2010-2015 were obtained from fishing companies and population sampling and exploration was carried out, determining the total area of banks, the abundance of oysters in number and weight, and the mean population size. The population mean size decreased from 68.30 ± 18.22 mm in 2011 to 42.6 ± 11.70 mm in 2014, and abundance was significantly reduced in 2013 and 2014 compared to 2011 and 2012, with signs of exhaustion in the population, which needed a catching total banning. As a result of this administrative strategy, a population indicated a slight increase in abundance and size but did not reach levels of abundance for a maximum sustainable catch. Regulatory measures for the management of the C. virginica fishery in Cuba are proposed.
La identificación fenotípica de Crassostrea virginica, Gmelin (1791), como recurso natural en el río Cauto, Cuba, ocurre en 2016. La especie forma parte de la captura comercial en la región sudoriental de Cuba desde 2007. La pesca es libre, sin regulaciones por veda reproductiva y se aplica el mismo tamaño legal mínimo de captura (40 mm) establecido en Cuba para la ostra de mangle Crassostrea rhizophorae, aplicado por Guilding (1828). La producción de ambas especies no se diferencia en las estadísticas pesqueras de Cuba. Esto hace difícil evaluar y manejar todo el recurso ostrícola, por lo que se hizo una primera evaluación de la población y de la pesquería de C. virginica en el río Cauto. Los datos anuales de captura 2010-2015 se obtuvieron de las empresas pesqueras y se realizó muestreo y exploración de la población, determinando el área total del banco, la abundancia de ostras en número y peso, y el tamaño medio de la población. La talla media poblacional disminuyó de 68.30 ± 18.22 mm en 2011 a 42.6 ± 11.70 mm en 2014, y la abundancia se redujo significativamente en 2013 y 2014 en comparación con 2011 y 2012, con indicios de agotamiento en la población, lo que hizo necesaria una veda total de captura. Como resultado de esta estrategia administrativa, un muestreo poblacional en diciembre de 2016 indicó un ligero aumento en la abundancia y talla, pero sin alcanzar niveles de abundancia para una captura máxima sostenible. Se proponen medidas regulatorias para el manejo de la pesquería de C. virginica en Cuba.
