Invertebrate bycatch in Patagonian scallop fishing grounds: a study case with data obtained by the On Board Observers Program

Since the beginning of the Patagonian scallop fishery Zygochlamys patagonica, in the Argentine Sea in 1996, an On-Board Observers Program (OBOP) was established at the National Institute of Fishery Research and Development (INIDEP). The general trends of the bycatch composition and biomass were anal...

The general trends of the bycatch composition and biomass were analysed from information on catches and fishing effort (219 trips, 575 samples), collected in five scallop beds between 39º and 44º S during the period 1997-2002, provided by the OBOP.

Echinoderms and gastropods showed an increase in biomass and sessile organisms were scarce in the SWSAO bed, subjected to high and continuous fishing effort. In the SWTB bed, with the lowest fishing effort, sessile organisms showed a decrease during the study period, while no variations occurred in the case of echinoderms and gastropods.
