“…FEK comprises experimental and experience based knowledge, of ecosystems and fisheries and changes in dynamics of fisheries -spatial and temporal issues related to SSF, on the status of population, exploitation and trends of resources-, fishing practices, communities, and the livelihoods (Bevilacqua et al 2016 ; Lima et al 2017 ; Castillo et al 2018 ). This proved to be useful for the definition of fishing grounds, fish habitats, to design conservation strategies for vulnerable species, and mitigating environmental conflicts (Castello et al 2009 ; Truchet and Noceti 2021 ; Truchet et al 2022 ). We considered Ecological epistemology (EE), which refers to the repositioning of human beings in the symmetrical network of mutually determined relations.…”

“…S. brasiliensis ). This shows the importance needs to incorporate FEK in fishing research and management, since allows identified changes in fish stock due anthropic activities, arts of fishing used, the increase of non-native species, thereby incorporating crucial knowledge of fish ecobiology (Leite and Gasalla 2013 ; Fischer et al 2015 ; Bevilacqua et al 2016 ; Lima et al 2017 ; Castillo et al 2018 ; Truchet and Noceti 2021 ; Truchet et al 2022 ).…”

“…This crisis in SSF, where fishers avoid regulations, and governments do not control fisheries, they just increase the vulnerability of the sector. The lack of regulations and gaps in control, called illegal, unreported and unregulated –IUU- fishing (Drammeh Ousman 2000 ), is a common patron observed in South American fisheries (Quirós 2003 ; Salas et al 2011 ; Chiaravalloti 2016 ; Truchet and Noceti 2021 ); and all over the world in SSF (Welcomme et al 2014 ). This IUU fishing is one of the greatest threats to inland fisheries sustainably.…”

This study presents a comparison between fishers’ knowledge and fiscal records about the structure of inland fisheries in the Paraná River (Argentina). First of all, we characterized the fishing population according to the main demographic and economic indicators, identifying two different fishing areas: the northern and southern sections in the lower La Plata basin. Secondly, we carried out a comparative analysis of fiscal fishery records (from two commercial sets: 1930–1984 and 2011–2019) and local fishers’ knowledge on inland commercial fisheries (frequency of occurrence and abundance). Finally, we contrasted current fishing regulations (allowed meshes and boats, fishing prohibitions, exports) to fishers’ effective practices. The study area included 52 sites located along the floodplain of the middle and lower sections of the Paraná River, in the province of Santa Fe. Socioeconomic analyses identified two different groups of fishers throughout the river corridor. Results showed that fishers have detailed knowledge on nomenclature, ecology, reproductive strategy, habitat distribution, and usefulness of commercial fish species. By contrasting fishers’ knowledge with fiscal records, we found similar and complementary information about the changes in abundance and frequency of occurrence in fisheries. These results highlight the need of including local knowledge as an outstanding source of information for well-planned management of fishing programs and sustainable policies.

“…Studies in the Indian and Pacific Oceans highlight the conflicts between artisanal and industrial fisheries related to the worldwide fishery sector (Bavinck, 2001;Truchet and Noceti, 2021). Globally, the industrial fishery fleet is responsible for the largest annual catch, and in the South and Southeast Brazilian regions, trawling is the main fishing mode responsible for demersal catches (FAO, 2012;Musiello-Fernandes et al, 2017).…”

Marine artificial reef (MAR) interference in artisanal fisheries in Brazil: use of traditional knowledge

et al. 2022

The aim of this study was to describe the traditional knowledge from artisanal fishermen related to marine artificial reef (MAR) ship Victory 8B and to identify possible changes in the fishery area after its installation. We performed single ethnographic interviews (n = 80) through a semistructured questionnaire, using participant observation, visual ethnography, and field diary recordings. All the interviewees were men from 27 to 77 years old, with low education levels and up to 60 years of experience in the fishery artisanal. Most of the interviewees (n = 71; 88.7%) recognize the presence of this MAR in the region and its role as a shelter for marine fauna and an attractor for species with commercial value. Even with fishery prohibition in the vicinity of MAR Victory 8B, most of the interviewees (n = 75; 93.7%) reported the practice in that area. According to the fishermen, the ship installation did not alter area the fishery, but the structure positively changed the activity by attracting more fish, increasing capture and profits. With that, from the perspective of the fishermen perception, MAR Victory 8B fulfilled its role in the enrichment of the fish stock and the conservation of marine biodiversity in the region.
