Bycatch of the squat lobster Munida gregaria in bottom trawl fisheries in San Jorge Gulf, Argentina

Squat lobsters are recognized as potential fishery resources in many countries. Squat lobster Munida gregaria is an important component of the bycatch in trawling fisheries of Argentinian Patagonia. The frequency of occurrence (FO), relative abundance (RA) and fate of the incidental catch of M. greg...
