Description:
El presente documento hace referencia a las fase reproductiva del cangrejo rojo Ucides occidentalis durante el periodo de veda reproductiva, en base a un muestreo ”in situ” el cual se ejecutó en dos fases: la primera a nivel del Estuario del Golfo de Guayaquil parte de Churute, Isla Mondragón, Isla Escalante, y sector Chupadores Chico, entre el 28 de enero al 1 de febrero de 2009; y la segunda en la Reserva de Manglares de Churute y el sector de Naranjal entre el 9 al 14 de febrero de 2009. Los resultados obtenidos durante ambas fases de muestreo constataron la presencia del cortejo, paseo o gateo al encontrarse en la mayoría de madrigueras tapadas ejemplares de hembras ovadas. En la segunda fase predominaron madrigueras destapadas con hembras desovadas. Estableciéndose una serie de recomendaciones; entre las cuales, se destaca continuar con los 30 días de veda reproductiva anual (15 enero - 15 febrero) suscrito en el Acuerdo Ministerial No. 0.16, para que la fase reproductiva se cumpla en su totalidad.
Description:
This document refers to the reproductive phase of the red crab Ucides occidentalis during the reproductive closure season. This study is based on sampling site which runs in two phases: the first was done between January 28 to February 1, 2009 at the estuary of the Gulf of Guayaquil, which includes: Churute, Mondragón Island, Escalante Island, and Chupadores Chico Island. The second phase took place in the Churute Reserve and the Naranjal sector from 9 to 14 Febrary 2009. During both phases of sampling we noticed burrows covered with ovate or pregnant females, the conclusion are that both, male and female, were walking or crawling in their habitat. In the second phase predominated uncovered burrows with females spawn. A series of management measures are recommended such as to continue with the 30 days of annual reproductive season (january 15 to February 15), wich was established in the Ministerial Agreement No. 016.
