En julio de 1989 y 1990 se hicieron dos cosechas comerciales de Gelidium sesquipedale mediante arranque y corte, con objeto de observar la recuperación, obteniendo datos que sienten las bases biológicas para establecer un plan de gestión del recurso.
Se observa una reducción de la biomasa del 80 % tras la cosecha, no variando la densidad de frondes y reduciéndose la talla media de la poblacion un 48 % por corte y un 31 % por arranque. Los 3 ó 4 meses que siguen a la cosecha son muy importantes en la recuperación de la biomasa, de manera que en octubre ya no existen diferencias significativas entre las medias de las zonas cosechadas y control. En este período, frente a tasas de crecimiento nulas en la zona control, se obtienen valores alrededor de 1.3 %.día−1 en las cosechadas, mientras que entre marzo y julio oscilan alrededor de 0.9 %.día.−1.
La producción es 1.4 veces mayor en las áreas cosechadas (valores alrededor de 1 100 g.m−2.año−1), mientras que las tasas de renovación son 2.5 veces mayores en ellas (6.8 año−1).
Los epífitos prácticamente desaparecen tras la cosecha, pero se recuperan al mes siguiente, no aumentando su biomasa en relación a la de la control.
Abstract
Two commercial harvests of Gelidium sesquipedale by plucking and cutting, were carried out in July 1989 and July 1990. The recovery rate was studied in order to obtain data to manage the exploitation. After the harvest, biomass reduction of Ca. 80% could be observed; the density of the fronds did not Vary and the mean length of the population was reduced by 48% by cutting and by 31% by plucking.
The most important period of biomass recovery extends over 3 to 4 months after the harvest. Therefore, in October there were no significant differences between biomass mean values in the control and the harvest areas. During this period growth rates were very little in the control area, while in harvest areas were approximately 1.3% day−1. From March to July growth rates were approximately 0.9% day−1 in both areas.
Production was 1.4 times higher in harvested areas (ca. 1 100 g.m−2.yr−1) and the turnover rate 2.5 times higher (ca. 6.8 yr−1).
Epiphytes disappear after harvesting and recover their biomass along the next month, although never increasing significantly in relation to the control area.
