Fisheries Toolkit
Here you can find information useful for fishing, from fish and invertebrate life history to fisheries laws, management recommendations and training opportunities with PANGAS.
Fisheries Information Cards (Fichas)
- Life Cycle
- Problems and Recommendations of Management

As PANGAS moves into its second phase, regional management plans will be developed for representative species:
- Deep water reef groupers: gulf coney, extranjero
- Coastal rocky reef groupers: leopard grouper, gulf grouper
- Coastal rocky reef snappers: yellow snapper, barred pargo
- Coastal rocky reef invertebrates: black murex, octopus, rock scallop, lobster, sea cucumber
- Special Case: Jaiba
This Regional Management Plan will be used as a model for development of others. It was selected because vast information is available on the species, and because there is political momentum to establish creative co-management regimes for the fishery.
One of the objectives of the PANGAS project is to train students, fishers and other actors in the Gulf's fisheries. PANGAS has developed courses in molecular genetics, marine conservation biology, trained students and fishers in subtidal monitoring and created interdisciplinary opportunities for graduate and post-doctoral researchers.
