Subsistence fisheries, despite being widely ignored in official statistics and scientific studies, are one of the pillars of the food security of fishing communities, which tend to be socially vulnerable. This proposal targets the writing and submission of three scientific papers, which main goal is to partially fill some scientific gaps related to this type of fishery in the Brazilian fi…
This project intends to continue and to amplify objectives from previous projects [FAPESP 2009/11154-3 and FAPESP 2006/50435-0]. It is necessary to understand better the reproduction of Epinephelus marginatus (grouper) an endangered species according to Red List of IUCN (http://www.iucnredlist.org/ ). Grouper is a species of high commercial demand often captured in small-scale artisanal f…

The concept of sustainable development, although widespread on the world stage, it is just as successful with regard to their deployment in practical action, having, in most cases, a large distance from decision makers than those who directly depend on the natural resources, which has extensive knowledge of these. Managing natural resources, aiming at the continuity and sustainability of …
The fish stocks are in decline worldwide. Brazil is not an exception to this rule. With regard to fishing for snook (Centropomus spp.), The crisis in the Ilha Grande Bay(southern coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro) stems from the fact that this is a fish with high commercial value, great social importance and have your periodreproduction for a "vintage". Knowing the biology of target sp…

This study describes and analyses the local knowledge held by Brazilian and Australian fishers about the ecology (feeding habits, habitats, migratory movements), and the reproduction of Pomatomus saltatrix (Pomatomidae), which is an important fish species to artisanal fishers from both countries. It aims to address differences and similarities between information provided by the two group…
