The dynamics of whitemouth croaker fishing by gillnet and pair trawl in Southeastern Brazilian Bight

ABSTRACT. The whitemouth croaker is considered the main demersal resource landed in southeastern and southern Brazil, caught mainly by gillnets and pair trawls. This study evaluated the directed fishing effort at whitemouth croaker in different fishing modalities (or 'metiers'). We also in...

Catches of the gillnet fisheries peaked mainly between May and July. Pair trawl catches had two annual peaks one between March and May and another between August and November.
