- Ventanas de escape en trampas para la captura de la langosta roja, punulirus interruptus, en Baja California Sur, México Mauricio Ramírez Rodríguez Ciencias de la Tierra escape vents lobster traps Panulirus interruptus In order to determine the effect of escape vents in traps used in the California spiny lobster,Panulirus interruptus, fishery along the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur (Mexico), comparativefishing operations were conducted with normal traps and traps modified with escape vents. It wasfound that carapace height is directly related to trap selectivity. The results show the effectiveness ofthe vents in allowing sublegal lobsters to escape and in enhancing the catch rate of lobsters withcarapace lengths greater than 82.5 mm (minimum legal size). However, the decrease in the number ofsublegal lobsters in the modified traps is not as great as expected, since they constitute from 82.6 to91.6% of the catch, depending on the type of vent and fishing area. This indicates the need to conductnew studies to determine the best type of vent. 1996 artículo científico 0185-3880 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48022207 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=480 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas (México) Num.2 Vol.22
