- Economic performance of benthic resource management areas in the Bío Bío region Catterina Sobenes Carlos Chávez Ciencias de la Tierra loco Chile managed areas benthic resources economic performance The economic performance of Benthic Resource Management Areas (BRMAs) was assessed and analyzedfor the Bío-Bío region between 2001 and 2003. This study included 22 areas with Use Agreements declaring loco(Concholepas concholepas) to be the main benthic resource. Several characteristics were also considered as potentialdeterminant factors for BRMA performance. These variables were defined and grouped into four types of characteristics:economic, environmental-biological, institutional-organizational, and organizational leader. The variables were thencontrasted between areas according to the loco harvest situation. Moreover, the economic performance profiles ofBRMAs with loco harvests were analyzed according to the considered variables. The results indicate, beyond the differentenvironmental-biological aspects, important differences in economic and institutional-organizational characteristicsbetween areas with and without loco harvests during the period analyzed. Moreover, we conclude that some key variablesare associated with economic performance in the areas that harvested loco during the study period, including economic(selling price) and environmental-biological (resource density, habitable polygon) variables 2007 artículo científico 0716-1069 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=45635209 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=456 Investigaciones Marinas application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso Investigaciones Marinas (Chile) Num.2 Vol.35
