The work entitled “Innovation in the fishing gear in the Red Cusk-eel fishery in central Chile: perceptions, impact, management challenges and resource sustainability” focused on the impact of the fishing gear, “red de tres telas” or trammel net, on the Red Cusk-eel fishery and the current situation of this one. For this, the fishery was approached holistically through biological-fishing, social and management approaches.
