RESUMONo presente estudo foram avaliadas as artes-de-pesca em uso nos reservatórios de Barra Bonita e Bariri, do médio rio Tietê, SP, Brasil, visando fornecer elementos objetivos para avaliação da necessidade de reestruturação do marco legal que rege estas pescarias. Foi realizado o monitoramento da pesca nos principais núcleos pesqueiros destes reservatórios, com coleta de dados sobre a composição das capturas (em número e biomassa), seletividade dos aparelhos de pesca, fauna acompanhante e descartes. Também foram obtidas informações sobre as artes-depesca predominantes, CPUE e sazonalidade da produção pesqueira, bem como informações ambientais (limnológicas e climatológicas). Foram realizadas campanhas mensais de amostragem em campo, quando os pesquisadores acompanharam a atividade de pesca, estabelecendo um registro detalhado das capturas e dos apetrechos de pesca utilizados. Foi verificado que a rede de espera é a menos seletiva entre as quatro modalidades mais praticadas, porém é a única que conta com respaldo legal. Artes-de-pesca restritas, como arrasto, batida e tarrafa incidem principalmente sobre as tilápias, espécies não nativas cuja exploração pode ser considerada benéfica para a conservação da ictiofauna autóctone, através da diminuição da competição interespecífica por recursos.

Monitoring of the fishery production was carried out in the main fishing nuclei, collecting data about the catch composition (number and biomass), selectivity of fishing gear and the by-catch. Information about the predominant fishing arts, catch per effort unit and seasonality of fish production, as well as environmental information, were also obtained. Monthly field campaigns for sampling were done, when the researchers followed the fishing activity, making a detailed record of the catches and the employed fishing gears. It was found that gill net is the least selective among the four modalities practiced, but it is the only one which has legal support. Higher selective fishing gears, such as trawls, cast nets and fishing beat, act mainly on tilapia, a non-native species whose exploitation could be considered beneficial to the conservation of the native fish populations through the reduction of the interspecific competition for resources. Thus it is suggested the restriction of the use of less selective fishing equipment and the liberation of fishing gear that targets the non-native species of cichlids, aiming to reduce the fishing pressure on indigenous species.
