“…Following common-pool resources principles, mainly collective choice arrangements monitoring methods and eventual sanctions to illegal actions [91] are facilitated when managers value the knowledge of shers [26,92]. Researcher-manager-sher cooperation should be used to make LEK and ecological science a basis for social and environmental sustainability, providing a robust information-driven platform to respond to challenges of climate change and other anthropogenic impacts.…”

“…Management arrangements facilitate con ict management among stakeholders, where the inclusion of all social actors is an essential feature [9,26]. Artisanal shing is the predominant activity in traditional coastal communities in the tropics, being characterized by low investment in external technologies, the use of small vessels that limit the extent of shing and the extensive use of LEK (see Batista et al, 2014).…”

BackgroundLocal ecological knowledge (LEK) in fishing communities is generated through interactions between fishers and the exploited resources. It is transmitted through social networks, interdisciplinary structures that drives the dynamics of socio-ecological systems (SES). LEK variability is supposed to depend on the quality and quantity of ecological information flow among different stakeholders. To assess what is driving LEK themes, we hypothesized that the formation of LEK clusters among fishers is determined by network articulation, fisher experience and the commercial value of the exploited species. MethodsThe study area comprises three fishing communities in the Western South Atlantic, in the tropical coastal zone of Brazil where artisanal shrimp fisheries (on Penaeus schmitti, P. subtilis and Xiphopenaeus kroyeri) are a major activity. Data collection took place between March, April, and November 2019. To test our hypothesis, linear regression and bipartite network analyses were performed to visualize the interactions between fishermen groups and LEK themes. The connectivity, nesting, modularity, and centrality parameters in this social network were calculated to test the hypothesis. ResultsOur results indicate that experienced fishers enhance LEK in their networks on the themes of food, mortality, and growth. Furthermore, there are subgroups of fishers with dissimilar knowledge about the exploited shrimp species, one old on the fishery with wide knowledge, other less experienced, just knowing about reproduction and migration themes. ConclusionWe conclude that there is a spatial similarity in the connectivity of fisher’s LEK, mainly concerning the reproductive and migratory dynamics of the target species, but also differences permeated by fishers’ experience and local interests. Managers initiating co-management agreements using reproduction and migration referential variables as benchmarks will be more successful if they incorporate LEK into decision-making. Regional knowledge similarities favor the implementation of management policies at a regional scale potentially reducing conflicts within fishing communities and increasing resource use efficiency.

“…In addition, the costs related to fishing include inputs (fuel, fishing gear, ice, meals on the boat) and fish processing (salting, filleting, deboning), which also influence the final price. Other studies in Brazil point that the length of the production chain is included in the final cost of the fish; the longer the production chain, the higher the final consumer price (Santos 2005, Rapozo 2011, Musiello-Fernandes et al 2017. These studies demonstrated that higher price of commercialized fish species is due to intermediaries and owners of local markets, as occurs in Guaxindiba.…”

The objective of this study is to describe the ethnoecological aspects, valorization, and commercialization of target species caught by artisanal fishers on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. The data were obtained through semi-structured interviews conducted with 60 fishers from the fishing community of Guaxindiba (21°29'S, 41°00'W), which is associated with the Z-1 fishers' colony. Eighty-nine species were cited by the fishers and 44.1% are important commercial fish in the region. The fishers cited five distinct zones used to fish: border zone (68 species), estuary (41 spp.), artificial reef (27 spp.), "malacacheta" (24 spp.), and open ocean (10 spp.). The fishery resources were classified according to their gastronomic and economic characteristics: primary fish (35 spp.), secondary fish (32 spp.), mixed fish (10 spp.), discarded fish (7 spp.), and fish used as bait (5 spp.). The price of the target species increases along the production chain due to the greater number of people involved, processing costs, and improvement of the product. The data from this study can contribute to local fisheries management and point out to the use of artificial reefs in the maintenance of fishery resources in northern Rio de Janeiro.

“…Tais peixes apresentam o hábito demersal e por isso os artefatos utilizados em sua captura precisam aproximar do fundo marinho (FREITAS NETTO;DI BENEDITTO, 2007;ABREU et al, 2020). A linha-de-mão apresenta condições de fácil manuseio em áreas próximas a fundos rochosos, baixo custo na sua manutenção, além de capturar com facilidade as espécies-alvos citadas anteriormente e que são bastante comercializadas (MARTINS et al, 2005 , 2007;MUSIELLO-FERNANDES et al, 2017;2018a;ABREU et al, 2020).…”

Caracterização da pesca artesanal no litoral do estado do Espírito Santo (ES), sudeste do Brasil mostra-se desatualizada o que indica a necessidade de atualizações sobre o tema. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever a pescaria coletiva da pescadinha praticada na costa do município de Vila Velha, mesorregião central do estado do ES. A obtenção das informações referentes à esta pescaria foi obtida entre os meses de novembro e dezembro de 2020 e janeiro de 2021 diretamente da Praia de Itaparica onde está localizada um entreposto da Colônia de Pescadores de Vila Velha Z-2. Neste sentido, foi aplicado o método das observações participante e direta, além do uso de um diário de campo e realização de entrevistas individuais com informantes-chave (n = 4) cadastrados na referida instituição. As entrevistas foram guiadas por um questionário semiestruturado contendo perguntas abertas. A pescaria coletiva da pescadinha é praticada por pescadores de diversas comunidades pesqueiras artesanais do município. A área de pesca é definida como o entorno da Ilha das Garças distante aproximadamente 800 m da praia em que participam até 40 embarcações cuja tripulação varia de 1 a 2 pescadores. Mesmo tendo a participação de pescadores de diferentes colônias, no momento desta pescaria, estes se reconhecem como um único grupo. A linha-de-mão é o único artefato utilizado durante esta pescaria, em uma profundidade entre 8 e 12 m, e a limpeza e comercialização da pescadinha ocorrem na praia diretamente ao consumidor final que geralmente são os moradores da Praia de Itaparica. Conflitos entre a prática desta pescaria e demais setores econômicos não são identificados pelos informantes-chave.
