The National Fisheries and Aquaculture Commission (CONAPESCA) announced that as of March 15, the temporary closure of fishing for all shrimp species on the Mexican Pacific coast begins, which also applies to lagoons, estuarine systems, marshes, and bays.
In a statement, the agency explained that the purpose of the ban is to protect the period of reproduction, recruitment, and growth of shrimp populations, and seeks to take advantage of the resource of particular economic and social importance that benefits the communities.
The National Fisheries Institute (Inapesca) highlighted that the investigations determined recent fishing yields, the catch per unit of effort . . .
