Por su naturaleza, el proyecto impulsa el trabajo en forma interdisciplinaria con varios proyectos del Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP), tanto ambientales como pesqueros, así como con grupos de trabajos de otros organismos del país y del exterior. Por ello, el Proyecto Ecología Pesquera (Subprograma Ecosistemas Pesqueros, Programa Ambiente Marino, Pesquerías Pelágicas y Medio Ambiente, INIDEP) desarrolla investigación interdisciplinaria con orientación ecológica relacionada al ambiente marino y las pesquerías. El énfasis ha sido puesto en la determinación de los mecanismos que controlan procesos biológicos en regiones de alta productividad del Mar Argentino.

Las actividades del proyecto se relacionan fundamentalmente con el rol de los frentes sobre la diversidad, producción e historias de vida de organismos marinos (se pueden consultar en más detalle en la página del Proyecto: http://www.ecologiapesquera.com.ar/index.php). Se busca evaluar el grado de influencia que tienen las zonas frontales sobre la producción biológica y la biodiversidad a escala regional. Para ello se cuenta con bases de datos históricas y campañas anuales del INIDEP (campañas propias y colaboraciones con otros proyectos del instituto), incluyendo información sobre la distribución, abundancia y riqueza específica de comunidades de peces, plancton y bentos en relación con tres zonas frontales principales: Río de la Plata, Península Valdés y Talud. Se trabaja también con datos provenientes de la flota comercial (capturas incidentales, monitoreo satelital), monitoreo en puertos e información obtenida a partir de experimentos de laboratorio y de campo (experimentos con el gasterópodo Rapana venosa y la viera Zygochlamys patagonica, el ctenóforo Mnemiopsis leidyi, las medudas Liriope tetraphylla y Clytia sp. y el copépodo Acartia tonsa).

Los equipos utilizados habitualmente incluyen diferentes tipos de redes de arrastre de fondo para muestreo de peces y equipos específicos para muestreos de plancton y bentos (Bongo, Multired, Motoda, Nackthai, trineo epibentónico, rastras de diferentes tipos, dragas tipo Van Veen y Day, etc.), toma de datos oceanográficos y otras variables ambientales. Varios de los integrantes de Ecología Pesquera cuentan además con experiencias a bordo de buques internacionales en la zona de talud, Antártida y Atlántico Sur.

La identificación de los ecosistemas pesqueros del Mar Argentino, su estructura oceanográfica y sus principales componentes biológicos.
La identificación de las principales interacciones bio-físicas en esos sistemas así como la determinación de los mecanismos que controlan la abundancia y dinámica de poblaciones de interés.
El estudio de los ciclos de vida de especies de interés, identificando los estadios críticos de la ontogenia relacionados con procesos oceanográficos.
Determinar el impacto antropogénico considerando «áreas de pesca y de no-pesca».
