This paper focuses on the development of thebillfish fisheries and their management in the Pacific waters of Mexico. Three periods are described:(1) 1900-1959, (2) 1960-1989 and (3) 1990 to the present. During the period of 1900 to 1959, sportfishing began to develop, resulting in important tourist resorts. A system of fishing permits for thisincipient tishery went into forte. Also during this period, Mexico established a territorial sea jurisdictionof 9 nautical miles. From 1960 to 1989, commercial fishing for billfish began in Mexico, with thearrival of the Japanese tuna longline fishery, where billfishes were taken as by-calch. Then, with theestablishment of the 200-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), Mexico developed its ownlongline fishery at the beginning of 1980. Because of the fishing interactions between the sport andcommercial fisheries, efforts to manage both fisheries were undertaken. At the beginning of the thirdperiod (1990 to the present), the commercial fishing for marlin and sailfish in Mexico was prohibitedand only commercial fishing for swordfish is allowed today. Recently, a plan for the development ofthe sport fishery was published, and regulations on bag limits and fishing gear were established.Although billfish are highly migratory species, Mexico asserted its right to manage this speciesunilaterally in its EEZ. The sport-fishing industry represents a high value input to its economy, butonly operates within the fírst 50 nautical miles of its EEZ. The lack of patrol, enforcement andpresente of commercial fishermen offshore has resulted in some illegal fishing activities by foreignfishing vessels. 1998 artículo científico 0185-3880 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48024106 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=480 Ciencias Marinas application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas (México) Num.1 Vol.24 |
