In some cases, the catch of species becomes greater than the capture of the target species to be a global problem and generating a negative impact on the populations of these species being considered a threat to marine biodiversity. The objective of this project is to reduce the impact of the shrimp fishery (Pleoticus muelleri) on the by-catch, through the design, construction and installation of a device Excluder juvenile fish in fishing nets of a local fishing community handmade Punta del Diablo, department of Rocha, Uruguay.
