Abstract

In the Colombian Caribbean, most artisanal fisheries are at maximum exploitation or over-exploited levels. Therefore, the future development of the artisanal fisheries sector should focus on the search for new fishing resources and alternative fishing techniques that make its exploitation economically attractive without jeopardizing its sustainable exploitation. One of the most relevant problems of artisanal fisheries in the Department of Magdalena is the lack of technology related to fishing activity. The objective of the project was to evaluate the potential of deep fishes and crustaceans (100 - 400 m) as an alternative for artisanal fisheries development in the Department of Magdalena. It was found a potential fishing resource that can be constituted as an alternative of artisanal fishing development. However, it requires the acquisition of capture technology equipment such as Echo sounder, GPS and mechanized gears to access these deep-water resources by artisanal fishing.
