“…-159 - (Calderón, 2010), in Ecuador there are marine weirs in the Ligüipi area and in Amazonic Bolivia there are ancient weirs linked to lacustrine and marshy environments (Erickson, 2000). Argentina has a history of marine weirs in the Gulf of San Matías, in the province of Río Negro (Cardillo and Scartascini, 2016) and in the Beagle Channel (Vázquez and Zangrando, 2017). In Chile, there are references to marine weirs between latitudes 4°S -54°S (Álvarez et al, 2008) and it is possible to find structures both on continental marine coasts and on islands and in archipelagic systems (eg Furlong, 1917;Emperaire, 1963;Cárdenas et al, 1991;Torres, 2009;Borlando, 2016) and fluvial weirs also exist between latitudes 37°S -42°S (Álvarez et al, 2013).…”

This study analyses the use of traditional fishing weirs in the Interior Sea of Chiloé, in southern Chile. Although fishing weirs were in operation the time of the arrival of the first Europeans in the area in the mid-16th Century, when the indigenous Chono and Williche populations led distinctly aquapelagic lifestyles, we contend that they proliferated in subsequent centuries during the process of mestizaje (mixing) between indigenous populations and Spanish settlers and in response to the pressure exerted by population growth and associated social transformations in an insular location. Weirs remained in use until the second half of the 20th Century but have fallen into disuse in recent times due to the profound socio-productive changes resulting from modern development models favouring intense extractivism. Such developments have exacerbated socio-environmental conflicts and caused a population decline in small islands in the region. Based on our discussions of the above, we propose that the traditional insular fisheries model has allowed sustainable inhabitation of these islands; that its decline has dismantled key community assets; and that a return to socially-managed, non-extractivist fishery practices is essential for regional communities.
