Abstract
In the booklet, we present the estimation protocol of two indicators related to the hidrobiological resources use, applicable in the Colombian Marine Protected Areas. We suggested to estimate the relative abundance of the resource as a measure of the population size, and the ratio between the catches mean size and the maturity at length (L50), as a measure of the fishing impact on the size structure and the reproductive potential.
