SUMMARY

SUMMARY

IDENTIFICATION

SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)

Loxechinus albus

SPECIES NAME(s)

Chilean sea urchin

COMMON NAMES

Erizo (Spanish)

Chilean sea urchin is a sedentary species, spatially structured as metapopulations of localized subpopulations typically interconnected through larval dispersal (Orensanz et al. 2005)

A stock assessment is conducted, including Los Lagos and Aysen regions, but does not include the Magallanes region, thus a separate profile is set for this area (see here). Two management regimes exist for this resource: open access and Management and Exploitation Areas for Benthic Resources (MEABRs) (Subpesca 2019)
