An analysis of Official Catch Landing Reports (OCLRs) from 1998
to 2008 for BMA identified 14 small-scale fisheries. Considering the
contribution of each in landed weight (kg), production value, and
the number of OCLR reported, the relative importance was estimated
with the index (RII) proposed by Ojeda and Ramírez (2012).
As a result, the pacific calico, finfish, and shrimp were classified as
the most relevant small-scale fisheries in the region (Ojeda and
Ramírez, 2012).
