Resumen
Se describe la distribución geográfica y batimétrica de Squalus cubensis capturados a bordo del B/O Miguel Oliver en la costa Caribe de Centroamérica, durante una campaña de prospección pesquera realizada del 3 de enero hasta el 3 de febrero del 2011. Se analizaron 96 lances, se capturaron 140 individuos (65 machos y 75 hembras) de 24 hasta 100 cm de longitud total, y entre 70 y 3 040 grs de peso total. En cuanto a la talla, se encontró una marcada diferencia que indica dimorfismo sexual. La relación talla-peso para ambos sexos no presentó diferencias significativas en las pendientes de las regresiones entre sexos. La distribución espacial de las capturas mostró que la mayor cantidad de individuos se obtuvo, principalmente, en Panamá a profundidades que van desde los 250 hasta los 950 m, seguido por Honduras. Más del 75% de las capturas se dieron en un estrato de la columna de agua con temperaturas entre los 17°C y los 12°C. El presente trabajo proporciona información preliminar importante, pues es la primera vez que se documenta una captura de esta especie que permita estimar proporción de sexos, estructuras de tallas y la relación peso–talla de S. cubensis en el Caribe de Centroamérica.
This article describes the geographic and bathymetric distribution of Squalus cubensis; some specimens were captured during a prospecting survey campaign that was held from January 3 to February 3, 2011, aboard the R/V Miguel Oliver on the Caribbean coast of Central America. 140 individuals were captured in 96 sets (65 males and 75 females) from 24 to 100 cm in total length, and between 70 and 3,040 grs of total weight. A marked difference in the sizes was found, indicating a sexual dimorphism. The length-weight relationship between sexes showed no significant differences in the slopes of the respective regressions. The spatial distribution of catches showed that more individuals were obtained primarily in Panama at depths ranging from 250 to 950 m, followed by Honduras. Over 75% of the catch occurred in a layer of the water column with temperatures between 12°C and 17°C. This study provides important preliminary information about sex ratio and length-weight relationship in S. cubensis captured in this area.
