Abstract

Nowadays there are fishery resources that have suffered the consequences of overexploitation, pollution or climate change, therefore, the population of marine organisms of commercial importance has diminished noticeably. One of the alternatives to mitigate this reduction, is the diversification of the fishery and aquaculture activity, through value creation.To do this, there is a great number of species to cultivate and that have not been seized due to the lack of interest or knowledge, in addition that the fishery communities have not been provided with the sufficient technology to allow its correct exploitation and leave their comfort zone. In that manner, this article has as a general objective to develop an added value proposal for the commercialization of crabs, through a Soft Shell Crab closed system technical production, for the coastal region of the State of Sonora, in such a way to be taken as a viable option of economic and social growingfor the community, by a sustainable development, the establishment of communication mechanisms and a permanent concentration among the different actors and factors that will constitute the soft crab technical process, acceding the establishment of strategic alliances and commercial agreements for the integration of productive chains with the participation in state and national production programs, with the purpose of product commercialization.

Highlights

  • Nowadays there are fishery resources that have suffered the consequences of overexploitation, pollution or climate change; the population of marine organisms of commercial importance has diminished noticeably (Vega-Villasante, 2006)

  • This article has as a general objective to develop an added value proposal for the commercialization of crabs, through a Soft Shell Crab closed system technical production, for the coastal region of the State of Sonora, in such a way to be taken as a viable option of economic and social growingfor the community, by a sustainable development, the establishment of communication mechanisms and a permanent concentration among the different actors and factors that will constitute the soft crab technical process, acceding the establishment of strategic alliances and commercial agreements for the integration of productive chains with the participation in state and national production programs, with the purpose of product commercialization

  • The integral exploitation of crabs is a practice with the objective of showing to the coastal fishery sector of Sonora that, from this marine source, added value and high quality products can be obtained

Summary

Introduction

Nowadays there are fishery resources that have suffered the consequences of overexploitation, pollution or climate change; the population of marine organisms of commercial importance has diminished noticeably (Vega-Villasante, 2006). One of the goals of this bibliographic investigation is to demonstrate the benefits in the development of the fishery regions in the State of Sonora, through the introduction of technical systems for the production of Soft Shell Crab, as an income sourcecomplimentary to the fishing activity. In this manner, this option of an alternative and complimentary use of the natural marine sources is presented, taking into consideration the semi farming of soft crab as an investment project with short or medium term redemption. In the same way are presented the methodology and the main basis of the technical process for the production of soft crab, from the Callinectes genus
