1993
Torstensen, E. (Instituto de Investigacao Pesqueira, Maputo (Mozambique)) | Pacule, H.
The pink shrimp, Haliporoides triarthrus is an important species in the deep-water shrimp fishery in Mozambique. Total catches are in the range of 1,500 to 2,700 tonnes, with pink shrimp accounting for 70-90 %. Estimates of growth parameters and of natural mortality are used for a preliminary assessment of the fishery, based on length-structured virtual population analysis. With an arbitrarily chosen terminal fishing mortality F, the results indicate a situation of overfishing, but realistic parameters must be acquired in order to diagnose the state of the stock
