Viabilidade econômica da pesca: identificação da reprodução social de pescadores no rio Panacuera, no município de Abaetetuba/PA

Abstract

This dissertation presents the economic and social organization of the fishermen of Panacuera island community, as well as the economic viability of fishing in the social reproduction of the residents, in order to verify if the economic subsistence is obtained and the strategies of the income composition of this public. For this reason, we sought to understand the process of production of fishing activity, from the production chain through the capture, marketing and, organization of fishermen, as well as activities developed alongside artisanal fishing. For this purpose, structured and semi-structured interviews, observations and photographic records were taken on that place. From this research, we consider that fishing is the main livelihood of artisanal fishers of Panacuera island community. It is deniable the existence of an idiosyncrasy between fishermen and the sea that allows them to resist the difficulties encountered in the profession such as: the scarcity of fish, lack of infrastructure and government incentive. Thus, the fisherman does not abandon artisanal fishing and continues to develop his activity daily seeking the minimum conditions of survival. It is important to point out that, in parallel with fishing, there are other locally relevant economic activities aimed at complementing family income, although they are not as important as fishing; among them stands out the açai extractivism. The construction of a calendar registration booklet is a proposal for intervention so that these fishermen have their records formalized and organized for eventual research and government formalities.
