Manejo de pesquerías mediante la zonificación de áreas de reserva: Aplicación a la pesquería de la anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) en el norte de Chile

Abstract

The methodological bases are presented for solving the problem that arises upon establishing "windows of penetration" in an Area Reserved for Small-scale Fishing (ARPA) through a bioeconomic model of the anchovy (Engraulis ringens) off northern Chile. The fishery is analyzed and evaluated given two scenarios of administrative policy. The ARPA is incorporated as a decision variable in the resource administration, and its relationships with other means of management (e.g., fishing effort and global quotas) are also established. The model is supported methodologically, taking concepts from the theory of marine reserves and adapting these to a homologous situation with the ARPA. The results show that it is possible to manage the anchovy fishery in the northern zone by determining the percentage of the ARPA that is granted to the industrial sector through the windows of penetration. © 2007 Escuela de Ciencias del Mar Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso.
