"Estava pescando de malhadeira, vi na praia uns cascos brilhando, era luar, abeirei a terra e fui pegar": práticas de pesca de quelônios na várzea Amazônica (Santarém-PA)

The present article analyzes the turtle poaching techniques used in a Amazon floodplain area of Santarém, north of Brazil. Our interests included the local ecological knowledge involved, selectivity and seasonal and spatial variations on the technique choice. The data were collected between May 2006 and June 2008 through informal conversations, monitoring of fishing activity and participant observation of turtle fishing in the communities of Ilha de São Miguel, Costa do Aritapera and ÁguaPreta. We found a broad combination of different techniques based on deep and detailed knowledge of the river turtle species natural history, including the influence of the hydrological cicle on the feeding, movement and reproductive behavior. The fishermen recognize seasonal variations and, combined with local knowledge, use this information when selecting the technique to be used to catch turtles. We encourage the implementation of participatory management for the sustainable use of river turtles in the study area, and suggest the alternative of establishing rules based on techniques and periods of the year.

Território em transformação: conflitos na pesca artesanal – Araguari, Porto Grande, Amapá, Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-03-25) LIMA, Laís Melo; PAULA, Cristiano Quaresma de; SILVA, Christian Nunes da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4284396736118279
The main objective of this study is to discuss the factors that contributed to the changes in the territoriality of artisanal fishermen on the Araguari-Amapá River. Located in the middle of the basin, artisanal fishermen from Porto Grande are part of the group affected by the hydroelectric projects installed in the last decade. With the installation, artisanal fishermen from Araguari started to report changes in the fisheries' reproduction cycle, and consequently loss of fishing territoriality and fishing areas – occurring greater pressure on new areas and insecurity of trafficability in previously used fishing grounds. With the new use, they begin to report the occurrence of conflicts and disputes over the resource. In this way, we resort to the panorama of policies implemented over the Amazonian space to understand the strategies of use and appropriation conferred at different times by different agents, as well as the respective resistances of the fishing activity.
