“…Moreover, the nomenclatural issue does not affect only fishes. Freire et al (2020a), e.g., reported problems with common names used to represent shrimps in Sergipe, despite being the major fishery in this state. Even worse, the correspondence used may have changed throughout time, and this is particularly worrisome if the status of the main stocks is to be defined.…”

“…In 2014, about 1,233 tonnes of penaeids were caught in Sergipe, representing 35% of its total marine catch (Araújo et al 2016). The main penaeids captured are the Atlantic seabob, Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Heller, 1862), the Southern brown shrimp, Farfantepenaeus subtilis (Pérez Farfante, 1967), the Red spotted shrimp Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817), and the Southern white shrimp, Litopenaeus schmitti (Burkenroad, 1936) (Freire et al 2020a).…”

“…Even though the shrimp boats based in Sergipe target the shrimp species previously cited, other shrimp species are also caught (Freire et al 2020a), as well as a large number of juvenile fishes, including those of commercial species (Barreto et al 2018). Bycatch can represent up to ten times the shrimp catch in northeastern Brazil (Santos 2010).…”

The present study aimed at identifying fish species from the bycatch constituting the categories 'miunça' and 'pescadinha' landed by the shrimp fleet in the state of Sergipe, comparing with information from statistical bulletins, and assessing the occurrence of seasonal changes in this species composition. Samples were obtained each month directly from the shrimp boats fishing along the coast of Sergipe, when their catch was landed between August 2018 and July 2019. All fishes were identified, measured (total length; cm), and weighed (total weight; g). A total of 60 kg of fishes was analyzed, encompassing 1412 individuals of 35 species, belonging to 16 families. Sciaenidae, Polynemidae, and Haemulidae were the most representative families. The most abundant species in 'miunça' were Polydactylus virginicus, Larimus breviceps, Paralonchurus brasiliensis, and Stellifer brasiliensis. In 'pescadinha', the species with the highest number were P. virginicus, L. breviceps, and Conodon nobilis. About 70% of all species were observed in both categories, with individuals from 'pescadinha' being larger than 'miunça', but the magnitude of this difference changed in different months. Only eight species analyzed here were individually reported in bulletins of fishery statistics for Sergipe, representing 56.7% of the total sampled biomass, and other 15 were reported in groups including two or more species.

“…Among the shrimp species of no economic interest caught by bottom trawlers in Sergipe, we can mention four (Freire et al 2020): Exhippolysmata oplophoroides (Holthuis, 1948), which belongs to the family Lysmatidae and has a wide geographical distribution in the Western Atlantic, from North Carolina (USA) to Texas (USA) and from English Guyana to Uruguay (Christoffersen 2016); Nematopalaemon schmitti , a Palaemonidae distributed from Venezuela to Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) (Mantelatto et al 2016); Rimapenaeus constrictus (Stimpson, 1871), a Penaeidae also widely distributed in Western America, occurring from Nova Scotia (Canada) to Santa Catarina (Brazil) (Boos et al 2016); and Sicyonia dorsalis Kingsley, 1878 of the family Sicyoniidae, occurring from North Carolina (USA) to Santa Catarina (Brazil) (Costa & Simões 2016). Studies exploring morphometry are scarce or non-existent for these species at a global level and especially for Northeastern Brazil where they are frequently exploited by shrimp fisheries.…”

“…The four shrimp species analyzed here were found in both types of samples: shrimp + bycatch (in Pirambu) and separated into size categories (in Aracaju). For more details of the sampling procedures used in this study, see Freire et al (2020) and Reis-Júnior et al (2023). All samples were frozen and stored in the Laboratório de Ecologia Pesqueira -Departamento de Engenharia de Pesca e Aquicultura -Universidade Federal de Sergipe (LEP/DEPAQ/UFS) for further analysis.…”
