A diagnosis of the artisanal fishery landings in the Colombian Caribbean coast by means of indicators

Landings of the artisanal fishery in the Colombian Caribbean from 2013 to 2021 were characterized by means of two indicators: the trophic level and the vulnerability to fishery landings. Indicators showed a statistically significant decreasing trend in vulnerability and trophic level, suggesting th...

description Landings of the artisanal fishery in the Colombian Caribbean from 2013 to 2021 were characterized by means of two indicators: the trophic level and the vulnerability to fishery landings. Indicators showed a statistically significant decreasing trend in vulnerability and trophic level, suggesting that the fishery is increasingly targeting species of low vulnerability and trophic level, thus moving down the food web. The overall pattern of indicators was not uniform in space. Incidence interaction of gears and species landed explained the trajectory of indicators at the scale of Departments. Fishing gears targeted different levels in the food web, with gillnets responsible for the bulk of landings. Compared to a previous study, the group of fish species supporting most of landings has changed towards species with lower vulnerability, i.e. resistant to fishing mortality due to their evolved life-history but still of predatory habits in general. A notable exception is Mugil incilis, a species with a low trophic level that has become third in importance of landings in the database.
