“…These include various cuscuses (Phalangeridae), ringtail possums (Pseudocheiridae), tree kangaroos and small wallabies (Macropodidae), as well as giant rats (Muridae). This is consistent with observations of Wopkaimin hunting activities in the 1970s and 80s, as reported by Hyndman and others (Hyndman, 1984, Hyndman andMenzies, 1990). By contrast, the Strickland River sample is dominated by fish bone (primarily catfish, Family Ariidae) with much lesser amounts of small reptiles, frogs, birds and mammals, the latter including small quantities of pig (Sus scrofa).…”

“…Management and monitoring of hunting is urgently needed to avoid extirpation of species that are important for human consumption (Robinson & Bodmer, 1999). In Papua New Guinea (PNG) hunting is an integral part of custom and survival (Hyndman, 1984;Dwyer & Minnegal, 1991;Dwyer, 1994), with cassowaries (Casuariidae) being among the most sought after species (Kula, 1982;Reid, 1982b). Cassowary chicks are collected and kept in enclosures to use as 'currency' in trade and in ceremonies (Sillitoe, 1981;Reid, 1982a;Gardner, 1984;Healey, 1984).…”

Wildlife capture and trade for traditional use in Papua New Guinea has led to the extirpation of cassowary in some areas and increasing pressure for trade from areas where they remain. We tested a village-based monitoring programme to evaluate sustainability of wildlife capture and trade by households in the Crater Mountain Wildlife Management Area. We monitored the type and number of wildlife species captured and traded. For the most heavily traded species, dwarf cassowary, we compared estimated annual offtake of live cassowary to maximum sustainable offtake and also compared change in hunter effort over time. We found that live offtake rates of 0.06-0.07/km 2 were unsustainable in one village catchment and on the threshold of unsustainable use in another. Extirpation of cassowary will probably occur in the management area unless the location or quantity of the harvest can be restricted and the husbandry of captive birds improved. Results indicate that village monitoring of cassowary offtake is feasible when done in collaboration with outside, trained observers. Such monitoring should be encouraged as a means for landowners and management agencies to collectively evaluate the sustainability of the cassowary harvest in Papua New Guinea. This study provides an example of how scientists working with local communities in tropical forests can contribute to systematic monitoring and evaluation of wildlife offtake for sustainable use.

“…No que se refere à utilização dos peixes como recursos alimentares, preferências e evitações ao seu consumo têm sido o assunto de muitos estudos na Antropologia e na Ecologia Humana (Bulmer et al, 1975;Hyndman, 1984;Begossi & Braga, 1992;Castelo Branco & Begossi, 1996;Murrieta, 1998). Geralmente, a evitação a peixes é simplesmente uma questão de indiferença ou leve desaprovação pelo ato de ingeri-los.…”

“…De acordo com esse autor, o comportamento alimentar constitui um dos modos pelos quais uma sociedade afirma sua coesão através, por exemplo, dos tabus ou preferências gustativas. Hyndman (1984) diz que a etnoclassificação dos alimentos influencia os sistemas tradicionais de subsistência porque define o que deve ser considerado alimento, classificando-o em uma escala de preferências e ditando tanto a intensidade quanto a freqüência com que as espécies são caçadas, pescadas e/ ou cultivadas.…”

Restrições e preferências de recursos pesqueiros por pescadores do município de Conde, Norte do estado da Bahia, são analisadas. Dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas realizadas com 114 informantes de cinco comunidades. Peixes, moluscos, crustáceos, cetáceos e tartarugas marinhas são recursos disponíveis aos pescadores, que percebem aspectos marcantes desses animais no momento de considerá-los itens comestíveis. Peixes de "couro", como arraias e cações, são os mais evitados durante enfermidades, enquanto peixes "brancos", como os robalos, são as espécies mais preferidas. Muitos desses recursos são também usados na medicina popular local. O comportamento alimentar dos pescadores deveria ser levado em consideração no planejamento ambiental, em estudos de impacto ambiental e no manejo, conservação e monitoramento dos recursos pesqueiros.
