In BCS, the region encompassed by the Magdalena-Almejas
lagoon complex (BMA) has become the main fishing center. This
is due to its high productivity associated with geographic, oceanographic,
and environmental factors, all of which allow coastal
fisheries and the industrial fishing of sardines. Together these
contribute annually between 55% and 60% of state catches and over
40% of production value (Ojeda, 2012).
