Yellowleg shrimp, Camarón café, Camarón patiamarillo
COMMON NAMES
Camarón café, Yellowleg shrimp, Brown shrimp
The genetic structure of Yellowleg shrimp (Penaeus californiensis) in the Eastern Pacific is not fully understood. De la Rosa-Vélez et al. (2000) identified an upper Gulf of California population for this species. INAPESCA defined several assessment units for shrimps in the Gulf of California and Pacific coast, among these Upper Gulf of California, Sonora, Sinaloa-Nayarit, Gulf of Tehuantepec and western Baja California Sur including the Bahia Magdalena complex (INAPESCA 2016).
ANALYSIS
Strengths
- Shrimp species captured in the Mexican Pacific are short-lived species, with high fecundity and highly resilient to fishing mortality.
