Zusammenfassung: | This paper aims to describe the population dynamics and to evaluate the stock of the seabob-shrimp Xiphopenaeus kroyeri on the coast of Pernambuco. Sampling was carried out between August/2011 and July/2012 in Sirinhaém, southern coast of Pernambuco. A total of 1201 individuals were analyzed, 673 females and 528 males. Total length (Lt) of females varied from 4.5 to 13.5 cm while the Lt of males ranged between 4.0 and 11.0 cm. The relationship between the Lt and carapace length and Lt and total weight showed negative allometry (males, females and pooled sexes). The slope of the curve "b" was statistically different between males and females for both relationships. Females mature with 8.90 cm. Asymptotic length L∞ was lower for males than for females (12.26 to 14.79 and 10.72 to 11.5 cm, respectively), K was similar between sexes (1.00-2.04 and 1.00-2.63 cm/year-1 respectively) as well as the longevity and size at 1st capture (1.50 to 1.97) years and 7.9 to 8.9 cm for males and females, respectively). The results indicate that X. kroyeri in the region is not overexploited for males, however considering females and pooled sexes the stock is near to being fully exploited.
Este trabalho tem por objetivo descrever a dinâmica populacional e avaliar o estoque do camarão sete-barbas Xiphopenaeus kroyeri do litoral de Pernambuco. As coletas foram realizadas entre os meses de agosto/2011 a julho/2012 em Sirinhaém, litoral sul de Pernambuco. Foram analisados 1201 exemplares, sendo 673 fêmeas e 528 machos. Comprimento total (CT) das fêmeas variou de 4,5 a 13,5 cm enquanto o CT dos machos variou entre 4,0 e 11,0 cm. As relações entre o CT e comprimento da carapaça e o CT e peso total apresentaram alometria negativa (machos, fêmeas e sexos agrupados). O declive da curva "b" foi estatisticamente diferente entre machos e fêmeas para ambas relações. Fêmeas maturam com 8,90cm. O comprimento assintótico L∞ foi menor para os machos do que para as fêmeas (10,72-11,5 e 12,26-14,79 cm respectivamente), o K foi similar entre sexos (1,00-2,04 e 1,00-2,63cm/ano-1 respectivamente) assim como a longevidade e tamanho de 1ª captura (1,50-1,97anos e 7,9 - 8,9 cm para machos e fêmeas, respectivamente). Os resultados indicam que o estoque de X. kroyeri na região não se encontra sobreexplorada para os machos, entretanto considerando as fêmeas e sexos agrupados o recurso se encontra próximo do limite máximo de exploração. |
