Resumen del producto

Catch records by species for the purpose of fisheries monitoring is a matter of particular importance, since the statistics translate into trends of production, and are used to construct performance indicators. The problems associated with the database collection (i.e. catch by species, by geographic region and fishing season) primarily relate to the identification of species, their scientific names, and how those names correspond to their related common names. To contribute to the improvement of the quality of catch data by species, a list of common and scientific names and keys was prepared for 924 marine and brackish waters fish species of interest to the Mexican Pacific fisheries. The main objective is to facilitate the identification of these fish species by providing their common names, which are accompanied with pictures, diagrams, and additional general information. The species list is a dictionary of common and corresponding scientific names.
