LONGLINES

By 20 July, 2016 April 27th, 2019 No Comments

During July, the second monitoring of mega marine fauna was carried out using scientific longlines in the Caribbean of Guatemala. Three Rays were successfully captured, scored and released. In addition, a shark was successfully captured and released which, because of its very small size, was decided not to be marked. This work was done thanks to the support DIGI/USAC/CEMA/Blue World Foundation (Directorate General of Research/University of San Carlos of Guatemala/center of Studies of the sea and aquaculture/Blue World Foundation). We also want to thank all the support provided by the fishermen of the community Quetzalito and Livingston, and Colombo Estupiñán-Montaño. M.Sc., Director of research at Allium Pacific Foundation.
