  • Objective: To determine the incidence of non-target fishing species, in riparian fishing, as a dietary alternative for the agricultural sector in the state of Campeche, Mexico.Design/methodology/approach: The ports surveyed in the state of Campeche: Champotón, Seybaplaya and Campeche. A total of 89 questionnaires were applied at random and at the free will to participate to coastal fishermen. The obtained data were analyzed with the R vr 3.4.4 statistical software.Results: The results showed that the coastal fishing catch is 760.1 kg on average/week, and fishing discards of 30.42 kg/week. Of the bycatch, 68.8% is discarded and the rest sold at a low price (US $ 0.2). Among the waste products, 34 species stand out, but seven represent the 58.7% of maximum incidence, mainly Bosh Ariopsis felis, Chac-chi Haemulon plumierii, Cojinuda Caranx crysos, Ixpil Upeneus sp., Macabi Elops saurus, Postà Bairdiella chrysoura and Sardina Herengula jaguana.Delimitations/implications: There is a wide variety of species of which their potential as a protein source is unknown, which can be used as input in feed.Findings/conclusions: Registered fishing discards are made up of more than 30 non-target species and according to their incidence can be considered as inputs in feed manufacturing for the agricultural sector.
