It is important to document the results and changes in the
country's fishing activities with the aim of including new fisheries
at the right time in public policy instruments such as the national
fishing chart or regional management committees. Thus, the
objective of this study is to set the foundation for the systematic
documentation of the puffer fishery (S. annulatus) emerging in
BMA. This can be achieved through holistic approach that investigates
about the resource, fishing gear, fishing operations, onboard
handling, marketing channels, and prices on the beach.
