In the framework of the Joint Technical Commission for the Maritime Front (CTMFM), the Working Group (WG-Coastal) analysed information related to seabream (Pagrus pagrus), the Brazilian flathead (Percophis brasiliensis) and Argentine croaker (Umbrina canosai).
Based on the tonnage caught and population density maps, suggestions were made for the conservation and management of these species in the coastal area between Argentina and Uruguay.
Also attending the event was, the technical secretary of the CTMFM, Dr Ramiro Sanchez and INIDEP director, Dr Otto Whler, accompanied by licensed Nerina Rock Lakes and Rita.
For Uruguay, Mr Michael King and Dr Maria Ines Lorenzo were present.
