In this study, we used the Monte Carlo model (CMSY) to estimate fisheries reference points based on annual lobster landings. During the period 2012-2018, fishing pressure on lobster stocks decreased and a tendency for recovery was observed, despite the low biomass levels of approximately 29%. In 2019, the stock size was capable of producing yields close to the maximum sustainable yield (5770 t), with a probability of 58.1%. The enforcement of management measures should be continued in order to eliminate sources of negative externalities and rebuild stocks. We also demonstrate that the closed season does in fact protect the main events of the lobster life cycle. Responsible and efficient management should focus on life cycle studies and reliable monitoring of fishing data.
O modelo de Monte Carlo (CMSY) foi utilizado para estimar os pontos de referência da pesca com base em desembarques anuais de lagosta. Embora se registrem os baixos níveis de biomassa de aproximadamente 29%, a pressão de pesca nos estoques de lagosta diminuiu e foi observada uma tendência de recuperação durante o período 2012-2018. Em 2019, o tamanho do estoque foi capaz de produzir rendimentos próximos ao rendimento máximo sustentável (5770t), com uma probabilidade de 58,1%. A aplicação das medidas da gestão deve continuar, com vistas a eliminar fontes de externalidades negativas e recuperar os estoques. Também é demonstrado que o defeso, de fato, protege os principais eventos do ciclo de vida da lagosta. A gestão responsável e eficiente deve se concentrar nos estudos do ciclo de vida e no monitoramento confiável dos dados da pesca.
