Resumen

La población de cangrejo verde (Carcinus maenas) fue investigada en una laguna costera (Santo André) situada en la costa suroeste de Portugal. Este estudio evaluó la variabilidad espacio-temporal de la abundancia del cangrejo verde en la laguna y su relación con las variables ambientales. Se utilizó la pesca experimental para recolectar datos sobre abundancia, estructura de tallas y otras características demográficas. El muestreo se realizó mensualmente en 2019 en 5 sitios, utilizando redes de pesca. De un total de 15063 individuos recogidos, se analizaron 3898. Las mayores capturas se obtuvieron en invierno y en los sitios más cercanos al mar. La población presenta un predominio de machos (58,70% de machos y 41,30% de hembras), con una anchura media del caparazón de 48,81 mm para los machos y 40,79 mm para las hembras. Las hembras ovígeras son más abundantes en diciembre y enero, y el 50% son sexualmente maduras con 45,11 mm. A partir de los datos de la pesca experimental y de los cuadernos de pesca de los pescadores, la captura anual estimada de cangrejo verde osciló entre 1873 y 3354 kg/ha, lo que confirma el valor potencial de su pesca en la laguna. Este recurso puede ser explotado para múltiples fines, incluyendo su carne o sus desechos, contribuyendo así a la economía circular. Teniendo en cuenta que el cangrejo verde es una captura accesoria de la pesquería de anguila, es necesario modificar la normativa pesquera para salvaguardar las poblaciones de ambas especies.
