Resumo: | Monte Hermoso (Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a tourist town inhabited by a large number of artisanal fishermen. The aim of this study was to characterize, through a descriptive analysis, the operational activity of the artisanal fleet and quantify the catches landed per species. The ships, of a trucker type, are 6-9 m length equipped with a 40-90 HP outboard motor. The data analyzed derive from purchase slips furnished by a gatherer corresponding to the November 2009-October 2010 period. The target species were stripped weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) and patagonian smoothhound (Mustelus schmitti). The former was caught with hand line throughout the year, essentially between September-December. The latter was fished during March-April and September-December mainly with gill nets and, in a lesser proportion, longlines. During the study period total landings of stripped weakfish (704 t), patagonian smoothhound (607.6 t), parona letherjack (Parona signata, 95.8 t), whitemouth croaker (Micropogonias furnieri, 40.9 t) and the group of rays (33.6 t) were estimated. Total landings (of about 1,500 t) and those determinated per species are an estimate of the 12 month catch in that small scale fishery that represented, approximately, 6% of total landings of the ensemble of species known as "Variado Costero" corresponding to "El Rincón" area.
