• 3. [Article] Spatiotemporal Bio-Economic Performance of Artificial Shelters in a Small Scale Rights-Based Managed Caribbean Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) Fishery

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Spatiotemporal Bio-Economic Performance of Artificial Shelters in a Small Scale Rights-Based Managed Caribbean Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) Fishery Author: Headley, Maren, Cuevas Jiménez, Alfonso, Seijo, Juan Carlos, Villanueva-Poot, Raul, Hernández, Alvaro The study presents a bioeconomic analysis of artificial shelter performance in a fishery targeting a spiny lobster meta-population, with spatially allocated, individual exclusive benthic property rights for shelter introduction and harvest of species. Insights into fishers’ short-run decisions and fishing strategies are also provided. Spatiotemporal bioeconomic performance of shelters located in ten (10) fishing areas during four seasons was compared using two-way ANOVAs and Pearson correlations. Results show that there was spatiotemporal heterogeneity in bioeconomic variables among fishing areas, with mean CPUEs (kg/shelter) ranging from 0.42 kg to 1.3 kg per trip, mean quasi-profits of variable costs per shelter harvested ranging from $6.00 to $19.57 USD per trip, and mean quasi-profits of variable costs ranging from $338 to $1069 USD per trip. Positive moderate correlations between shelter density and CPUE (kg/shelter) per km2 were found. Bioeconomic performance of the shelters was influenced by: spatiotemporal resource abundance and distribution, fishing area location in relation to the port, shelter density, heterogeneous fishing strategies and the management system. The results provide empirical information on the spatiotemporal performance of shelters and fishing strategies and can contribute to management at the local-scale of a meta-population distributed throughout the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.  Title: Spatiotemporal Bio-Economic Performance of Artificial Shelters in a Small Scale Rights-Based Managed Caribbean Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) Fishery Author: Headley, Maren, Cuevas Jiménez, Alfonso, Seijo, Juan Carlos, Villanueva-Poot, Raul, Hernández, Alvaro The study presents a bioeconomic analysis of artificial shelter performance in a fishery targeting a spiny lobster meta-population, with spatially allocated, individual exclusive benthic property rights for shelter introduction and harvest of species.

• 4. [Article] A Qualitative Risk Assessment of Hookah Diving as Fishing Technology in Small-Scale Fisheries

  In many small-scale fisheries around the world, hookah diving is the main fishing method and gear to catch high-value species like sea urchin, sea cucumber, queen conch and spiny lobster. Decompression ...

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Qualitative Risk Assessment of Hookah Diving as Fishing Technology in Small-Scale Fisheries Author: Seijo, Juan Carlos, Huchim, Oswaldo In many small-scale fisheries around the world, hookah diving is the main fishing method and gear to catch high-value species like sea urchin, sea cucumber, queen conch and spiny lobster. Decompression sickness (DCS) and carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) are diseases related to hookah diving and are the cause of non-fatal and fatal injuries in small-scale fishers with the social and economic effects over households and coastal communities. A misunderstanding about diving risks still prevails among small-scale fishers. This study reports on a qualitative risk analysis method developed to obtain fishers perception, the likelihood of undesired health threatening events occurring as a result of hookah diving, and the corresponding perceptions of impacts or consequences of such accidents. These risk perceptions are contrasted with hyperbaric physicians’ perceptions and the actual diving accidents occurring in the spiny lobster (P. argus) and sea cucumber (I. badionotus) small-scale fisheries in a Yucatan northeastern coastal community. Fishers identified the DCS as a major problem in the diving activity; however, their impact value perceived was lower than the one perceived by the physicians. Fishers diving behavior exceeded the recommended standards for a safety diving practice. The method allows for identification of priority decisions relevant to the need for appropriate fishing technologies, for fishers capacity building associated with health-related precautionary measures, and increased community awareness of possible consequences of current fishing technology.  Title: A Qualitative Risk Assessment of Hookah Diving as Fishing Technology in Small-Scale Fisheries Author: Seijo, Juan Carlos, Huchim, Oswaldo In many small-scale fisheries around the world, hookah diving is the main fishing method and gear to catch high-value species like sea urchin, sea cucumber, queen conch and spiny lobster.
