Model for tuna catch optimization in Ecuador

Abstract

The Model for the optimization of the tuna catch in Ecuador, is a study carried out by means of the multiple regression model, in the case of tropical tuna (skipjack, bigeye and yellowfin) of catches made in metric tons in national and international waters. , applying them to the data of trips, efforts, boats, year of capture from the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission in the case of Ecuador. The objective of this work is to establish a mathematical model that best fits the relationship of the independent variables of the data taken from annual records and that allows obtaining an estimate of catches in subsequent years and thus having a base of tons of tuna to be caught. , that contributes a lot to the tuna industries of the country that are a fundamental pillar in the economy of Ecuador. To carry out this project, steps given in the operational research methodology were followed, multiple regression was used, which originated the capture equation: , using data records from 2000 to 2016, thus reaching the desired model. The tuna catch equation allows estimating what would be the optimal metric tons to obtain in the future, whose results will be adjusted to the real data, which will allow economic benefits in the local fishery.)
