          Abstract

          Since the early 2000s, codling, hake and blackfin goosefish became main components in the landings of double-rig and stern trawlers fishing in the slope off the south and southeast coasts of Brazil. Because these stocks are known to be little resilient, the heterogeneous and unpredictable fishing regime has been regarded as biologically and ecologically unsafe. In this article, we examine the fishing strategies developed by the Brazilian trawl fleet when fishing deep water fish between 2007 and 2009. Slope fish resources were primarily exploited under four fishing tactics. On Tactic 1 landings comprised mainly hake and blackfin goosefish, with trawlers concentrating their fishing effort on the fishing grounds located in the upper slope (300350 m depth) in central and northern areas. Two other strategies (Tactics 3 and 4) were similar to each other, with trawlers occupying fishing grounds on the upper slope (350 m) along the whole area. Catches were dominated by codling, representing at least 50% of the fish landed. A fourth strategy (Tactic 2) concentrated in shallow fishing grounds (100 m) along the whole coast, reported only small landings of deep water species (less than 20%). We characterized five different fleets based on the number of fishing trips that vessels dedicated to each strategy. During the study period, 34-37 vessels have undertaken fishing trips primarily in slope fishing grounds, however a few vessels (10-14) also fished for coastal species (Tactic 2). From 11 to 22 vessels fished regularly as coastal trawlers, operating opportunistically on slope grounds. Management of the deep water trawl fishery should take into consideration the number of trawlers specialized in targeting deep-water resources and the behaviour of opportunistic trawlers occasionally fishing in the slope.

          Desde comienzos de los años 2000, la brótola, la merluza y el rape pescador se convirtieron en los principales componentes de los desembarques de las flotas de arrastre doble y de arrastre por popa, que operó en el talud de la costa sur y sureste de Brasil. Debido a que estos stocks son conocidamente poco resilientes, el heterogéneo e impredecible régimen de pesca ha sido considerado como biológico y ecológicamente poco seguro. En este artículo, examinamos las estrategias de pesca desarrolladas por la flota de arrastre brasilera en la extracción de peces de aguas profundas entre 2007 y 2009. Los peces de aguas profundas fueron principalmente explotados mediante cuatro estrategias de pesca. En la Táctica 1, los desembarques incluyeron principalmente merluza y rape pescador, con los arrastreros concentrando su esfuerzo en las zonas de pesca localizadas en el talud superior (300-350 m) de las áreas central y norte. En otras dos estrategias (Tácticas 3 y 4), similares entre sí, operaron arrastreros en toda el área de las zonas de pesca localizadas en el talud superior (350 m). Las capturas fueron predominantemente brótola, que representó al menos el 50% del desembarque. Una cuarta estrategia (Táctica 2), que se concentró en zonas de pesca poco profundas (100 m) a lo largo de toda la costa, reportó solo bajos desembarques de especies de aguas profundas (<20%). Se caracterizaron cinco flotas diferentes, basados en el número de viajes de pesca que los buques realizaron bajo cada estrategia. Durante el periodo de estudio, 34-37 buques realizaron viajes de pesca mayoritariamente en zonas localizadas en el talud, sin embargo, unos pocos buques (10-14) también pescaron especies costeras (Táctica 2). Entre 11 y 22 buques pescaron de manera regular como arrastreros costeros y de aguas profundas, operando de manera oportunista en el talud. El manejo de la pesca de arrastre de aguas profundas debiera tomar en consideración el tamaño de la flota compuesta por arrastreros especializados en recursos de aguas profundas y en el comportamiento de aquellos que ocasionalmente pescan en el talud.
