Palabras clave: cooperativas - pesca - camarón - Sinaloa Abstract The southern part of Sinaloa has important coastal resources (lakes and streams), abounding in shrimp (prawn), from the pre-Hispanic era. [...]the aim of this study is to analyze the origin and development of fishing cooperatives Southern Sinaloa during the period from the establishment of the first cooperative until 1981. Sin embargo, los conflictos por las pesquerías subsistieron y se trasladaron ahora entre los mismos cooperativistas, tal como sucedió en 1933 cuando ambas cooperativas se disputaban las pesquerías del Romero y el Puyeque que habían sido adjudicadas a la primera desde el año de 1928.17 Acerca de la producción de camarón obtenida en los esteros del Sur de Sinaloa, aun sin tener datos suficientes podemos afirmar que fue variable y dependió de factores naturales, lo cual se puede constatar en el informe del gobernador de Sinaloa, Macario Gaxiola, de 1930 cuando señalaba que ésta había sido baja, pues se valoraba sólo en 85 mil 553 pesos, debido al huracán que afectó al extremo sur de Sinaloa, dañando casas y pesquerías en Teacapán y La Concha. Sobre este último sin contar con información acerca de su producción, suponemos que debió de ser importante, ya que obligó al gobierno federal a decretar en 1928, la prohibición temporal de extraer plantas acuáticas en el estero de Teacapán, con el objeto de favorecer el desarrollo de los criaderos de ostión, para ello se sancionaban a los infractores con multas de cinco pesos a 500 pesos y arrestos hasta por 36 horas.20 La importancia de las empacadoras de Escuinapa en la economía local era tal que El demócrata sinaloense comentaba en su edición del 4 de octubre de 1932, que las doscientas mujeres y los cincuenta hombres empleados por ellas generaban un fuerte movimiento comercial en esa ciudad.21 Durante varios años la comercialización del camarón apastillado, se hizo a través de la casa Pando y Gómez de la ciudad de México que utilizaba como intermediario al señor Alberto Garaygordóbil, que lo enviaba a la capital del país en barcinas (bolas de camarón).

Background: The body weight (BW) of animals at various growth stages is an important piece of information for the decision-making process. In the current \"livestock 4.0\" or precision livestock farming it becomes necessary to know if body measurements obtained from the dorsal view of an animal are related to its BW. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between BW and dorsal area (DA) of water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) reared in southeastern Mexico. Methods: The BW (340 ± 161.68 kg), hip width (HW), thorax width (TW), and body length (BL) were measured in 215 female Murrah buffaloes aged between 3 months and 5 years. The DA (m2) was calculated using the mathematical formulae for the area of a trapezoid, considering HW, TW, and BL in the calculation. The relationship between BW and DA was assessed with correlation and regression models. Results: The correlation coefficient between BW and AD was 0.96 (p<0.001). The linear equation had the highest determination coefficient (R2 = 0.94) along with the lowest mean square error (MSE = 1716.86), root MSE (RMSE = 41.43), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC = 1603.36), and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC = 1610.10). Conversely, the allometric equation exhibited the highest values of MSE, RMSE, AIC, and BIC. Based on the quality of fit by the k-folds technique, the three proposed equations showed consistent adjustments, with more than 90% accuracy (R2 = 0.92). The quadratic equation exhibited the lowest mean squared prediction error and mean absolute error. Conclusion: The DA can be used as a good predictor of BW in buffaloes, especially when incorporated into first and second-degree linear equations.

We study the properties of the carry trade, a currency speculation strategy in which an investor borrows low-interest-rate currencies and lends high-interest-rate currencies. This strategy generates payoffs that are on average large and uncorrelated with traditional risk factors. We argue that these payoffs reflect a peso problem. The underlying peso event features high values of the stochastic discount factor rather than very large negative payoffs.

Summary Background: Katahdin breed sheep is highly disseminated in Mexico. This breed and its crosses have recently gained attention among sheep producers. However, research with crosses between Katahdin and other meat breeds is limited. Objective: to evaluate the genetic and non-genetic factors affecting growth and mortality rate of crossbred lambs from Katahdin ewes fecundated with breeds specialized for meat production. Methods: crossbred lambs (n = 152) from Katahdin ewes sired with Hampshire (KH; n = 43), Texel (KT; n = 53) or Charolais (KCH; n = 56) were evaluated under intensive management conditions. The effects of genotype and non-genetic factors on birth weight, weaning weight, pre-weaning daily weight gain, and mortality rate were determined. Results: breed differences were not detected for birth weight (4 ± 1.1, 4.3 ± 0.9 and 4 ± 1.1 Kg for KCH, KH, KT, respectively), nor for the 60-d weaning weight (20.2 ± 4.3, 20.9 ± 4.3, 18.2 ± 4.2 Kg for KCH, KH, KT, respectively). Weight of lambs did not differ significantly between sexes, but it decreased (p<0.05) with increased litter size (weaning weight at 60 days for single, twins and triplets was 24.5 ± 2.6, 19.2 ± 3.5, and 14.3 ± 3.8 Kg, respectively). Pre-weaning mortality of KH lambs was 13.3% and it was significantly lower than that of the other genotypes (24.5 and 39.3% for KT and KCH, respectively). Conclusion: inclusion of Charolais, Hampshire or Texel rams in Katahdin flocks results in similar lamb weaning weight, but Hampshire-sired progeny excels regarding pre-weaning survival. Resumo Antecedentes: Katahdin é uma raça de ovelhas altamente disseminada no México. Esta raça e seus cruzamentos têm recentemente ganhado atenção entre os produtores de ovinos. No entanto, a pesquisa com cordeiros híbridos entre Katahdin e outras raças de carne é ainda limitada. Objetivo: avaliar os fatores genéticos e não-genéticos que afetam a taxa de crescimento e a taxa de mortalidade de cordeiros híbridos de ovelhas Katahdin fecundadas com raças de carne. Métodos: cordeiros cruzados (n= 152) derivados de ovelhas Katahdin fecundados com carneiro Hampshire (KH; n = 43), Texel (KT; n = 53) e Charolais (KCH; n = 56) foram usadas neste estudo sob condições intensivas. Foi determinado o efeito do genótipo e dos fatores nãogenéticos sobre o peso ao nascimento, peso ao desmame, peso pré-desmame e percentagem de sobrevivência. Resultados: não foram detectadas diferenças raciais por peso ao nascimento (4 ± 1,1, 4,3 ± 0,9 e 4 ± 1,1 Kg para KCH, KH, KT, respectivamente), e peso ao desmame aos 60 dias (20,2 ± 4,3, 20,9 ± 4,3, 18,2 ± 4,2 Kg para KCH, KH, KT, respectivamente). Os pesos dos cordeiros não diferiram significativamente entre os sexos, mas o peso diminuiu (p<0,05) com o aumento do tamanho da leitegada (o peso ao desmame aos 60 dias de cordeiros individuais, gêmeos e trigêmeos foi de 24,5 ± 2,6, 19,2 ± 3,5 e 14,3 ± 3,8 Kg, respectivamente). A taxa de mortalidade pré-desmame dos cordeiros KH foi de 13.3% e este foi significativamente menor do que a taxa de mortalidade de cordeiros dos demais genótipos ( 24,5 e 39,3% para KT e KCH, respectivamente). Conclusão: o uso de carneiros Hampshire, Charolês ou carneiros Texel em ovelhas Katahdin pode ser implementado com resultados semelhantes para o peso do cordeiro ao desmame, mas a descendência Hampshire destacou-se por sua maior sobrevivência até o desmame. Resumen Antecedentes: la raza de ovejas Katahdin se ha difundido ampliamente en México. Esta raza y sus cruces han ganado recientemente la atención de los productores de ovinos; sin embargo, la investigación con cruces entre Katahdin y otras razas productoras de carne es limitada. Objetivo: evaluar factores genéticos y no genéticos que afectan las tasas de crecimiento y mortalidad de corderos hijos de ovejas Katahdin fecundadas con razas de carne. Métodos: corderos híbridos (n = 152) derivados de ovejas Katahdin fecundadas con machos Hampshire (KH; n = 43), Texel (KT; n = 53) y Charolais (KCH; n = 56) se evaluaron bajo condiciones intensivas de manejo. Se determinó el efecto del genotipo y factores no genéticos en el peso al nacer, peso al destete, ganancia de peso pre-destete, tasa de ganancia de peso pos-destete y mortalidad de los corderos. Resultados: no se detectaron diferencias entre grupos raciales para el peso al nacer (4 ± 1,1, 4,3 ± 0,9 y 4 ± 1,1 Kg para KCH, KH, KT, respectivamente) ni para el peso al destete realizado a los 60 días (20,2 ± 4,3, 20,9 ± 4,3, 18,2 ± 4,2 Kg para KCH, KH, KT, respectivamente). Los pesos de los corderos no difirieron significativamente entre sexos, pero disminuyeron (p<0,05) con el aumento del tamaño de la camada (el peso al destete a los 60 días para los corderos individuales, gemelos y trillizos fue 24,5 ± 2,6, 19,2 ± 3,5 y 14,3 ± 3,8 Kg, respectivamente). La tasa de mortalidad pre-destete de los corderos KH fue de 13,3% y fue significativamente más baja que la de los otros genotipos (24,5 y 39,3% para KT y KCH, respectivamente). Conclusión: el uso de sementales Charolais, Hampshire o Texel en rebaños de ovejas Katahdin genera resultados similares para peso de los corderos a los 60 días, pero la progenie de los moruecos Hampshire tiene mayor sobrevivencia hasta el destete.

Background: Assessment of animal growth based on live weight (LW) in traditional sheep production systems is limited by the high cost of purchase and maintenance of livestock scales. Objective: To develop and evaluate equations for LW prediction using heart girth (HG) in growing Pelibuey sheep. Methods: A dataset (n=415) of clinically healthy male Pelibuey sheep from two months to one year of age, with an average LW of 25.96 ± 10.25 kg and HG of 68.31 ± 10.53 cm, were used. Three equations were evaluated: LW (kg) = −37.70 + 0.93 × HG (Eq. 1); LW (kg) = −1.74 + 0.19 × HG + 0.008 × HG2 (Eq. 2); and LW (kg) = 0.003 × HG2.68 (Eq. 3). Results: The correlation coefficient between LW and HG was r = 0.94 (p<0.001). The three equations showed a high concordance correlation coefficient (CCCs≥0.97). However, the random error was the main component of the mean square partition of the prediction error (≥82.78%) only for Eqs. 1 and 2. The test for parameter identity (intercept=0; slope=1) was accepted only for Eq. 2 (p>0.05). On the other hand, for Eqs. 1 and 3 the intercept was different from zero and the slope was different from one (p<0.05). Conclusion: The second-degree equation accurately and precisely estimated body weight of growing Pelibuey sheep using the HG as a sole predictor variable.
