Abstract

Over a four-month period, from April to July 2007, the Uruguayan industrial fishing industry was paralyzed by a labour dispute. This followed the breakdown, on 30 April 2007, of the agreement between the National Syndicate of Seafarers (SUNTMA) and the Organization of Uruguayan Vessel Owners (CAPU). The sector concerned includes 33 industrial coastal vessels, whose main target species is croaker (corvina, Micropogonias furnieri), and 12 high-seas vessels that target hake (Merluccius hubbsi), of which six are ice vessels and six, freezer vessels. The seven high-seas vessels that target tuna were also laid up, but for different reasons.
