On Saturday afternoon, the decision was made to close Subarea 7 as of midnight on Sunday, which was communicated to the entire fleet. According to Revista Puerto, it was indicated that if the data on Sunday in the two recently opened subareas were similar to those on Saturday, a total closure would be carried out.

On Sunday, the closure of Subarea 4 was confirmed, where the fleet had operated until September 14, and of Subarea 11, which was opened together with Subarea 7 on the same Saturday. The high presence of hake forced the fleet to withdraw from both subareas as of midnight today.

According to INIDEP: “The closure has been ordered for commercial fishing of shrimp (Pleoticus muelleri) in Subarea No. 4, delimited between latitudes 42° and 43° S and longitudes 61° and 62° W, and in Subarea No. 11, delimited between latitudes 44° and 45° S and longitudes 62°30’ and 63°30’ W, starting at 00:00 hours on Monday, September 16,” indicated the statement from the Undersecretariat of Fisheries.

With this, only Subarea 15 remains open at the southern end of the ban. Searching for shrimp in the southernmost areas seems to be the only option to extend the 2024 season for a few more days within national jurisdiction.

Part of the fleet that has not yet returned to port was already concentrated yesterday between parallels 46° and 47° South, trying to catch the last shrimp. If today's data reflect an increase in the hake-shrimp ratio in this subarea, it will be closed, leaving all the areas closed.

The presence of hake was high and the fleet had to leave the other subareas without boats

However, the eventual closure of all the subareas would not necessarily mark the end of the season. A survey could be considered in some of the closed areas, but this will depend on the technical evaluation of INIDEP. In addition, given the high level of hake capture, the opinion of the Shrimp Program and the Incidental Capture Program would also be needed.

So far in September, according to official data, 6,000 tons of shrimp have been landed up to the 10th. Although it seems unlikely that the 24,000 tonnes obtained in 2023 will be reached, the total catches for the year already amount to 165,354 tonnes, which suggests that the 200,000 tonnes mark could be easily reached by the end of the year.
