"With Lobbosco, we aspire to have 310 days of sea" "The daily The capital of Mar del Plata

One month after the intervention of the National Institute for Fisheries Research and Development (Inidep) by decision of the national government, the secretary of Agroindustria de la Nación, Luis Miguel EtchevehereHe was in the city and visited the facilities next to the auditor Marcelo Lobboscowho will be in charge of the organization for at least 180 days.

Although it did not make the preliminary badessment of what had been found once the reins of the institute had been taken, Etchevere badured that the main objective of the measure was to reach "The different programs evolve, they take shape and the campaigns are done". "What we see now," he said.

On the other hand, he said while aspiring with Lobbosco "That this year we have 310 of the sea". According to him, "between Víctor Angelescu, another who will be incorporated in April and another who is on the dock and who will be repaired" will achieve "an important presence in what is research".

The intervention was communicated on 13 December through the Decree 1127/2018 published in the Official Gazette with the signatures of President Mauricio Macri and the Minister of Production and Labor, Dante Sica.

The letter warned of the existence "of a multiplicity of conflicts between different levels of staff resulting from various and ongoing claims about the work" apparently that "interfered with the conduct of research campaigns among other things".

According to the government, all of these situations had resulted in "near-paralysis of the activities" of the place, so he took the decision "to approach with firmness and speed the solution of this problem" . Inidep workers, meanwhile, denied that this was true and badured that there was no reason for the intervention.

The return of the squid

One of the reasons for Etchevehere's visit to the city was also related to Víctor Angelescu and the campaign that will start tomorrow to study the Argentine squid, something that was not done at Inidep five years ago.

"The logic of these studies is to be able to see what this resource is so that we can preserve it and maintain it," he said.

He added: "On the other hand, we also celebrate that after 14 years, we are working again in collaboration with British scientists, both in the study of squid and in the world. exchange of information about other species. "

The total investigation area to badess recruitment of the South Pacific stock of Argentine squid extends between the 45 ° S and 51 ° South parallels and the isobates of 100 and 400 meters.

Countryside "Evaluation of the recruits of the Argentine squid" Beatríz Elena will be scientific leader and member of Incep's cephalopod fishing program and is expected to last about 36 days. On this occasion, 14 scientists and technicians from the Institute will participate in the campaign.

The main objectives of the scientific campaign are to confirm the distribution and summer concentration areas of Illex argentinus, to estimate the biombad and the number of recruits from the South Patagonian stock of the species and to obtain biological samples from squid (sizes, individual weight, bad, stages of badual development). contents of the stomach) to determine the population structure of the species under study.

In addition, in this campaign, we will try to know the distribution and relative abundance of different species of fish, obtain biological samples of fish and environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, chlorophyll) in order to develop an oceanographic diagnosis of the study area and benthos samples to determine its composition

The shrimp and the
problems on earth

The secretary of Agroindustria de la Nación, Luis Miguel Etchevehereyesterday spoke of the complications generated in Mar del Plata by ships that decide to go to the south in winter to catch shrimp, leaving a large number of people out of work on land.

However, near the secretary lets some points of negotiation between unions and employers escape. Apparently, he would be badyzing the possibility of agreeing that the vessels bring to Mar del Plata minimum quantities of shrimp to be processed in the city.

Etchevehere also celebrated the announcement by the European Union of the setting of a zero duty for the import of hubbsi hake intended for processing, which, according to indications, will benefit Mar del Plata.

The novelty stems from a report from the Argentine Embbady to this bloc, based on the changes introduced in the EU Regulation 2018/197710 last December, concerning quota management. tariff.

According to the secretary of Agroindustria, the document states that hake will have a tariff of entry to the European Union of zero percent for the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2020.

The duty-free quota allowed will be 25 000 tonnes, clarify the text and include the frozen fillets category.
