Biomassa dos principais recursos de peixe de Boa-Paz, Moçambique

Data collected during a survey conducted by the Soviet trawler Sebastopolsky rybak , in January 1987, covering the Boa-Paz area, Mozambique, were analysed. The biomass of demersal fish was found to be higher than the one of pelagic fish. The most representative group among the demersals was the first grade fish, where the families Sparidae, Lethrinidae, Lutjanidae and Serranidae were included, corresponding to a biomass of about 3,500 tonnes. In the pelagics the family Carangidae was the most important one and the species Decapterus russelli and Trachurus trachurus showed the highest biomass estimates in this family.

Pesca de atum no indico: seu desenvolvimento recente e consequências para os Países da Subregião Sul Ocidental

In this study the author provided a synthesis of the most relevant aspects of fisheries in Mozambique and Indo-Pacific Region, discussed at the “Seminario sobre avaliaçāo de mananciais de atum na regiāo indo-pacifiqa-jacarta” held in Jakarta from 20 to 22 August 1984. Tens of documents belonging to the Department of Documentation and Information of the Fisheries Research Institute of Maputo and containing valuable information on the tuna fishing in Indo-Pacífic Region were studied in preparation of this seminar.

A pesca do atum no Oceano Indico do sudoeste

The tuna species of greatest interest to the countries of the southwest region of Indian Ocean are described. They are called mermas, small "coastal tunas". These fishes need a lot of food and oxygen, but have a limited tolerance for temperature variations. These are features commonly used in determining the possible areas of occurrence and also the most suitable type of fishing gear.

Recursos de atum nas águas de Moçambique

From 1976 to 1979 tunas of Mozambique were studied for about 40 months using seven research vessels. The main purpose of survey was not to study these resources therefore part of the information is poor and incomplete. During these three years, there were about fourteen months for experimental logline fisheries of deep-water tunas. This work corresponds to a bilateral cooperation program with USSR.
