- Explotación de la pesquería de arrastre de camarón durante el período 1991-1999 en el Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica Farid A. Tabash Blanco Biología over shrimp fishery colapse assessment Exploitation of the shrimp trawl fishery in the period 1991-1999 at the Gulf of Nicoya, CostaRica. In Costa Rica, the Gulf of Nicoya shrimp fishery originated in 1952 and represented one of the mostimportant economic activities in the region. Nevertheless, overfishery reduced the captured volumes to levelsthat prevent this commercial activity. I analyzed official fishery statistics between 1991 and 1999. These speciesinvolved are: two species of white shrimp, (Litopenaeus occidentalis and L. stylirostris), the tití shrimp(Xiphopenaeus riveti), the brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus californiensis), the pinki shrimp (F. brevirostris)and the fidel shrimp (Solenocera agassizi). All the species reached the Maximum Sustainable Yield in thedecades of 1970 and 1980 and are now found at over-exploitation levels. I recommend that this shrimp trawlfishery be completely closed down. Rev. Biol. Trop. 55 (1): 207-218.
