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).
