Descrição
Resumo:Data on the fishing activity of the island of El Hierro are presented. The wahoo download data is compared in El Hierro and in the rest of the archipelago. The relative importance of the different resources exploited on the island of El Hierro is analyzed. Landing data by quarter are presented throughout the 2007-2018 period. The seasonality of landing is analyzed. The size distribution of the artisanal fishery landing from the BB of the Canary Islands is presented and compared with the distribution of wahoo by-catch of Purse Seiner fishery. A new lengthweight relationship for this species from the eastern central Atlantic is presented.
