          Abstract

          Abstract Aplodinotus grunniens represent a crucial artisanal fishery in the Usumacinta River’s middle basin that generates food and a subsistence economy. This study aimed to create a model that best describes growth for A. grunniens and provides information on the growth of this poorly known species from the Usumacinta River. Data collection was carried out over one year through monthly sampling. A total of 447 specimens were collected from January to December 2017. Von Bertalanffy’s growth constants were calculated by separate sexes using linear fit and the non-linear Levenberg-Marquardt method. Hotelling’s T-squared test showed that growth was significantly faster in females than males. The estimated age at first maturity was two years in males and three in females. Considering the age reported for A. grunniens in other studies, the age determined in this study indicates that the population could be overexploited. Larger fish are more vulnerable to fishing pressure, mainly during their highest reproductive activity when they aggregate for spawning. More research is needed to evaluate the population status, catch per unit effort, distribution, and abundance of adults, juveniles, and larvae.

          Resumen Aplodinotus grunniens constituye una importante pesquería artesanal en la cuenca media del río Usumacinta que genera alimento y una economía de subsistencia. La recolección de datos se realizó en un año mediante muestreos mensuales. Se recolectaron un total de 447 ejemplares de enero a diciembre de 2017. Se calcularon las constantes de crecimiento de Von Bertalanffy por sexos separados mediante ajustes lineales y el método no lineal de Levenberg-Marquardt. La prueba T-cuadrada de Hotelling mostró que el crecimiento fue significativamente más rápido en las hembras que en los machos. La edad de primera madurez estimada fue de dos años en los machos y de tres en las hembras. Teniendo en cuenta la edad reportada para A. grunniens en otros estudios, la edad determinada de los peces en este estudio indica que la población podría estar sobreexplotada. Los peces más grandes son más vulnerables a la presión pesquera, principalmente durante su mayor actividad reproductiva, cuando los peces se agrupan para desovar. Se necesitan más investigaciones para evaluar el estado de la población, las capturas por unidad de esfuerzo, la distribución y la abundancia de adultos, juveniles y larvas.

            Life history change in commercially exploited fish stocks: an analysis of trends across studies

            Age and size at maturation have declined dramatically in many commercial fish stocks over the past few decades – changes that have been widely attributed to fishing pressure. We performed an analysis of such trends across multiple studies, to test for the consistency of life history changes under fishing, and for their association with the intensity of exploitation (fishing mortality rate). We analyzed 143 time series from 37 commercial fish stocks, the majority of which originated from the North Atlantic. Rates of phenotypic change were calculated for two traditional maturation indices (length and age at 50% maturity), as well as for probabilistic maturation reaction norms (PMRNs). We found that all three indices declined in heavily exploited populations, and at a rate that was strongly correlated with the intensity of fishing (for length at 50% maturity and PMRNs). These results support previous assertions that fishing pressure is playing a major role in the life history changes observed in commercial fish stocks. Rates of change were as strong for PMRNs as for age and size at 50% maturity, which is consistent with the hypothesis that fishing-induced phenotypic changes can sometimes have a genetic basis.
