Caracterização do uso comercial e de subsistência da fauna silvestre no município de Abaetetuba, PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-02-24) BAÍA JÚNIOR, Pedro Chaves; GUIMARÃES, Diva Anelie de Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2891287458034896
This work analyzed the use of local fauna by rural and urban populations in the municipality of Abaetetuba, PA (1°42.008’ W 048°54.009’), to study the feasibility of commercial breeding of wildlife in that region. Interviews were conducted with vendors and customers of the local street fair; local fauna destined for food consumption was monitored in the year 2005; riverside communities were visited and interviews conducted with the inhabitants of Capim, Xingu and Quianduba islands; captive breeding know-how of local rural producers was verified. Approximately 5,970 kg of wildlife meat belonging to eight ethno-species (opossums, deers, capybaras, paca, armadillos, black caiman, spectacled caiman e matamata) were sold at the local street faire, capybaras and caiman accounting for most of the sales, 64% and 34% respectively. Vendors were financially highly dependent on this activity, which generated a monthly income of as much as 600 reais. Consumers in Abaetetuba or near regions would purchase these products mostly due to cultural habits rather than for financial reasons. The primary subsistence activities (fishing and extraction of cabbage palm’s fruit) practiced by riverside populations have been declining or do not meet their feeding necessities. Hunting is still a common practice for some of the riverside inhabitants. 55 (38%) of them have hunted at least once in the one year period before this research was conducted and removed a total of 68 small sized animals, including opossums, agouties, armadillos, pacas, spiny rats and iguanas. Local farmers mentioned as favorable factors for breeding wildlife animals the protection of wildlife species and income generation; and as unfavorable the lack of technical and financial support, red tape, and high production costs. The formation of a participative management system, involving the community, government and private sectors is mentioned as a necessary condition for the implementation of commercial breeding of wildlife animals in this municipality.

O uso da fauna cinegética e o consumo de proteína animal em comunidades rurais na Amazônia oriental: Reserva Extrativista Tapajós/Arapiuns Pará - Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-05-19) SILVA, Alexandre Fernandes de Souza e; OLIVEIRA, Ana Cristina Mendes de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1199691414821581
Since the pre-history hunting and fishing have been the classic examples of men´s exploration of natural resources and, for some communities these are still the main source of food. However, the fishing and some products originating from the vegetable extractives have been the mainly goal of researches of the industrial market instead of studies of etnoconservation. In consequence of this institutional indifference and another intrinsic political factors just a little bit is known about the biology, the ecology, the etology and mainly about the intensity of exploration of the cynegetic fauna in tropics. There are not many studies about the food of traditional populations in Amazon mainly when is referring to the economic and nourishment importance of hunting and its relationship to the wildlife conservation. This 'Study of Case' was guided to accomplish the characterization of the cynegetic fauna explored by extractivist families of Aminã and Solimões communities (Tapajós/Arapiuns Extractivist Reserve) during the two season of the year (raining and drying season), and also showed the nourishment parameters of the protein indicatives of hunting activities for those families. The datas of relative abundance (biomass) of the species registered in both studied communities show that Dasyprocta leporine (cutia) was the more pressed specie. When examine the Indicative of Biomass (IB) between the sources of animal proteins and among the studied communities the conclusion is when the meal is made with hunting flesh although not often is more plenty than fishing. Referring to Indicative of Protein (IP), when observed among the several sources was verified when the meal is done with hunting flesh overwhelming all the other sources in terms of protein concentration then making the hunting flesh the most nutritious meal. The present study has the potential of contributing with important scientific information for the administration of the cynegetic resources and, consequently, to contribute with the definition of criterion and parameters for the launching of integrated handle projects of human occupations.
