INIDEP

INIDEP, Argentina’s National Institute for Fisheries Research and Development, is a public organization focused on marine science and the sustainable management of fisheries resources. It advises on the rational use of sustainable resources, with the aim of preserving the marine ecosystem for future generations. Its work examines fishery resources and their environment, including transboundary ecosystems and areas adjacent to Argentina’s continental shelf.

The institute shares its research through scientific reports, special publications, outreach materials, and Marine and Fishery Sciences, its research journal. Its online resources include a species geovisor, a catalogue of physical and phytoplankton bio-optical data, satellite-derived environmental information, and updates on sea-surface temperature. Visitors can also follow the real-time positions of INIDEP research vessels and consult its library and documentation services.

INIDEP provides training opportunities, including courses for observers aboard commercial fishing vessels, and publishes information about fishing closures and related marine areas. Through research, data services, publications, and public engagement, the institute supports understanding of Argentina’s marine environment and the management of its fisheries.
