To understand and characterize the Pacific chub mackerel (*Scomber japonicus*) spatiotemporal distribution in the northern Peruvian Current System, this study characterized the ecological niche using the minimum volume ellipsoid (MVE) approach …
Natural mortality (M) is defined as the rate of loss that occurs in a fish stock due to natural (non-fishing) causes and can be influenced by density-dependent or density-independent factors. Different methods have been used to estimate M, one of …
To better understand and characterize the distribution of the dolphinfish *Coryphaena hippurus* in the Pacific Ocean off Peru, we analyzed spatio-temporal catch per unit effort (CPUE) data from the artisanal longline dolphinfish fishery and …
The Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis ringens) is the most important small pelagic of the Humboldt Current System (HCS), supporting the largest mono-specific fishery in the world. The spatial behavior of this species tends to be very dynamic at different …
The values of size-at-gonad maturity (L50) of chub mackerel (*Scomber japonicus peruanus*) were estimated for the period 1994 – 2017 in the Peruvian littoral. The analysis was performed for the period November - March where the highest reproductive …
This paper shows estimates of the discard excess catch in the industrial purse seine fisheries of the North-Center stock of the Peruvian anchoveta (*Engraulis ringens*). Discard excess catch is defined as the portion of the catch that is thrown into …
