2.1 Argentina
Inventories / Landed volumes
Argentina
Volumes of the main bottomfish species landed in Septembe at Argentine ports declined. The most important drop was that in hubbsi hake to the south of parallel 41. Compared with the same period last year, volumes declined in most species. We only highlight the rise in volumes of hubbsi hake to the north of parallel 41° (CTMFM). The main port is still Mar del Plata.
