Bioeconomic Analysis of Snook Centropomus viridis, C. nigrescens, and C. medius for the Development of Mariculture in Northern Sinaloa
The bioeconomy offers an opportunity to implement a truly sustainable global economy based on biological resources, which, thanks to biotechnologies, become renewable. In this study, we conducted a bioeconomic analysis of the three most important species of sea snook in northern Sinaloa using fishery and mathematical models to support the selection of the species with the highest growth and feasibility. Our results showed a condition factor lower than 1 (K < 1) for the three species. The size condition factor was higher in younger organisms for the three snook species. The growth rates were K = 0.320, K = 0.160, and K = 0.440 for C. viridis, C. nigrescens, and C. medius, respectively. Individual growth was 1.8 g/day for C. viridis, 1.47 g/day for C. nigrescens, and 0.91 g/day for C. medius. The length-to-weight ratio indicated negative allometric growth (b = 2.82, b = 2.72, and b = 2.73, respectively) for C. viridis, C. nigrescens, and C. medius. The simulation for possible commercial cultivation reflected varied sizes: 600 g for C. viridis and C. nigrescens and 400 g for C. medius. The financial projection of C. viridis produced IRRs of 14% and 48% in captured fishing and aquaculture models, respectively, with positive NPV. However, simulations for C. nigrescens and C. medius were not economically viable. We conclude that, according to the aquaculture model, the most financially feasible species to farm in the north of Sinaloa is C. viridis, which showed the highest growth based on fishery data compared to those for C. nigrescens and C. medius.
