ObjectiveSpearfishing is a common activity used to harvest coastal marine species worldwide and can be a significant contributor to landings of ecologically and economically relevant species. As such, it is important to monitor spearfishing catch and effort. Spearfishing is commonly practiced throughout the Caribbean, yet characteristics of this gear's fishery remain understudied in the region. Thus, the objectives of this study were to provide a description of the Puerto Rico spearfishing fishery utilizing a long‐term MRIP APAIS data set, examine the data set quality of this survey, and provide suggestions to improve MRIP implementation in the U.S. Caribbean.MethodsWe described the Puerto Rico recreational spearfishing fishery using a multidecadal (2000–2015) Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) Access Point Angler Intercept Survey conducted along the coast of Puerto Rico and surrounding territories. Data issues were identified in the survey results, including possible errors in measurement and identification; therefore, we limited analyses to species composition, enumeration, and mean catch rates.ResultThere were 89 species identified, with snappers (family Lutjanidae) being the most encountered family. Other economically relevant finfish frequently reported were Hogfish Lachnolaimus maximus (n = 121), Queen Triggerfish Balistes vetula (n = 115), and Red Hind Epinephelus guttatus (n = 90). Multiple reef fishes were landed during their spawning season, while prohibited by seasonal closures. Further, spearfishing accounted for 25.8% of the total harvest throughout the study period.ConclusionOur results suggest that spearfishing could be a considerable contributor to finfish landings in Puerto Rico, warranting its continued and improved monitoring in the region. Further, modifications in the design of fisheries surveys are warranted. We suggest increasing the allocation of resources, training, data quality assurance and quality control, and funding for the MRIP to maximize the accuracy of data obtained and meet MRIP U.S. Caribbean priorities. Implementation of a recreational fishing license would assist by creating a registry to monitor total recreational fishing effort and by generating funds to supplement the MRIP. The use of electronic reporting can help mitigate discrepancies with species identification and size measurements and enhance overall recreational fisheries data collection.

“…Although some Φ ST values were significant, the levels of genetic differentiation between localities were too low to prove any phylogeographic break (F ST < 0.05), and the high dispersal potential of these species may be a reason for the lack of structure (PLD > 10 days). Other studies that extended the sampling coverage to other regions of the Great Caribbean documented that species with high PLD did not show a phylogeographic pattern, i.e., Echinolittorina ziczac and Cenchritis muricatus [48], Panulirus argus [97] and some other species had a panmictic population pattern, such as Sparisoma viride [29], Clibanarius tricolor [30], and Sparisoma aurofrenatum [53]. Overall, most likely the length of the larval period of N. tessellata defined the phylogeographic structure with a single population.…”

“…These conditions are crucial during natural selection and can affect the genetic structure. Nevertheless, a plethora of studies have indicated that species with extensive pelagic larval lifespans tend to display reduced substructuring or panmixia [11,13,[26][27][28][29][30], while species that exhibit a PLD of a few days or lack pelagic larvae [26,27] tend to present phylogeographic breaks or population genetic substructuring in the presence of contemporary or historical barriers [6,10,13]. These barriers involve hydrological processes such as marine currents and gradients in the physicochemical properties of seawater due to continental river discharges and upwelling zones.…”

“…For example, some studies have not considered locations in Colombia [39,40,[42][43][44], and those that did have only sampled close to one side of the river [41,45]. In other cases, the studies sampled both sides but only considered species of pelagic larvae that were more than 12 days in duration and concluded that the Magdalena River plume is not a barrier and the Caribbean Current (CC) and the Caribbean Counter Current (CCC) were the major factors causing genetic connectivity across the Colombian Caribbean i.e., coral, shrimp, mollusk, sea urchin, and fish species [29,41,[46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. Therefore, further investigations are necessary to evaluate the MRP effect on other marine species.…”

The comparative phylogeography of marine species with contrasting dispersal potential across the southern Caribbean Sea was evaluated by the presence of two putative barriers: the Magdalena River plume (MRP) and the combination of the absence of a rocky bottom and the almost permanent upwelling in the La Guajira Peninsula (ARB + PUG). Three species with varying biological and ecological characteristics (i.e., dispersal potentials) that inhabit shallow rocky bottoms were selected: Cittarium pica (PLD < 6 days), Acanthemblemaria rivasi (PLD < 22 days), and Nerita tessellata (PLD > 60 days). We generated a set of SNPs for the three species using the ddRad-seq technique. Samples of each species were collected in five locations from Capurganá to La Guajira. For the first time, evidence of a phylogeographic break caused by the MRP is provided, mainly for A. rivasi (AMOVA: ΦCT = 0.420). The ARB + PUG barrier causes another break for A. rivasi (ΦCT = 0.406) and C. pica (ΦCT = 0.224). Three populations (K = 3) were identified for A. rivasi and C. pica, while N. tessellata presented one population (K = 1). The Mantel correlogram indicated that A. rivasi and C. pica fit the hierarchical population model, and only the A. rivasi and C. pica comparisons showed phylogeographic congruence. Our results demonstrate how the biological traits of these three species and the biogeographic barriers have influenced their phylogeographic structure.
