description |
Various stages of the red sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus (Agassiz), fishery were simulated to evaluate the effect of two types of access rights under Mexican law: concessions and licences. The resource biomass was evaluated using the critical depensation and Schaefer models. Each model was evaluated as a static or dynamic system. The parameters required for each model were determined from government data and by generating stochastic numbers using the Monte Carlo method to adjust to a dynamic model. In general, both models predicted catches smaller than those observed. The five-year-period simulation for both models showed a drop in biomass when licences are issued, whereas a similar simulation for concessions resulted in increased biomass, except when high temperatures occurred. Our results suggest that issuing concessions rather than licences is the best option to conserve the fishery.
