Artisanal fisheries of the Xingu River basin in Brazilian Amazon
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08) NAHUM, Victoria Judith Isaac; ALMEIDA, Morgana Carvalho de; CRUZ, Rivetla Edipo Araujo; NUNES, José Leocyvan Gomes
The present study characterises the commercial fisheries of the basin of the Xingu River, a major tributary of the Amazon River, between the towns of Gurupá (at the mouth of the Amazon) and São Félix do Xingu. Between April, 2012, and March, 2014, a total of 23,939 fishing trips were recorded, yielding a total production of 1,484 tons of fish, harvested by almost three thousand fishers. The analysis of the catches emphasizes the small-scale and artisanal nature of the region’s fisheries, with emphasis on the contribution of the motorised canoes powered by “long-tail” outboard motors. Larger motorboats operate only at the mouth of the Xingu and on the Amazon. Peacock bass (Cichla spp.), croakers (Plagioscion spp.), pacu (a group containing numerous serrasalmid species), aracu (various anostomids), and curimatã (Prochilodus nigricans) together contributed more than 60% of the total catch. Mean catch per unit effort was 18 kg/fisher–1.day–1, which varied among fishing methods (type of vessel and fishing equipment used), river sections, and time of the year. In most cases, yields varied little between years (2012 and 2013). The technical database provided by this study constitutes an important resource for the regulation of the region’s fisheries, as well as for the evaluation of future changes resulting from the construction of the Belo Monte dam on the Xingu River.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) MILHOMEM FILHO, Edem Oliveira; PINHEIRO, Maria da Conceição Nascimento; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6353829454533268
In the region of the Tocantins river communities with high fish consumption through diet, located away from the gold mining area in the city of Empress of Maranhão may be exposed to mercury in view of the influence of other factors including environmental contaminants activities and hydroelectric potential of forest fires in this region. The aim of this study was to assess mercury exposure in families of fishermen District Beira Rio, Imperatriz-Maranhão. We conducted a cross-sectional study involving fishing families living in the community Beira Rio, located on the banks of the Tocantins River in the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão. The socio-demographic profile was common to the general Brazilian population and similar to the local population located in other basins. The profile food not fled the rule of dietary patterns of riparian and fish as the main source of dietary protein. The piscivorous species showed significant differences (p <0.01) compared to species herbivorous / omnivorous and detrívoras studied and zooplanctófaga species showed significant differences (p <0.01) compared the two species previously mentioned. Among the 25 families evaluated the lowest average concentration of Hgtotal / family was 0.186 ± 0.043 mg / g and 5.477 ± 2.896 was greater ug / g. Even within acceptable limits, the average concentration of Hgtotal presented by men (1.01 ppm 1.97) was higher than for women (0.69 ppm 0.82) (p <0.05). Conclude that fishing families of Empress have low levels of mercury exposure as a result of dietary intake of fish with low levels of contamination, including fish-eating species, which were below the safety limit for human consumption established by Brazilian standards, serving reference to other studies.

The Extractive Reserves (RESEX) Marine aims the protection of non-forest resources such as mangroves, fish, crustaceans and maintaining the livelihoods of artisanal fishing communities. The process of creating a RESEX is accomplished through environmental and socioeconomic studies of communities, however, it is observed that occurs the process of inclusion and exclusion of communities living and shared territory that after the delimitations by the State the inland communities of the protected area started to receive benefits, regulated by Ordinance No. 3 October 2008 by the Ministry of Agrarian Development - MDA, while those located in the surrounding area suffer from the deletion process, depending on the plan studies Management and the ratification of the Board of the unit to be considered users. Based on this problem this paper stresses that through participatory mapping methodology with use of maps in scale and local knowledge of Caratateua fishermen village in the municipality of Bragança, claim that their resource use territory overlap area RESEX Navy Caeté-Taperaçu, confirming that fishermen use a direct way the RESEX resources and therefore should be considered public policy beneficiary communities are offered. Participatory mapping happened through workshops in Caratateua village and with the participation of representatives of the Association of Fishermen of Caratateua village and Cologne Bragança fishing. The maps generated during the workshops went through a digital treatment to be worked in a sofwtare GIS, which were drawn up the final maps that say the fishermen in using the unit. This work will provide input to the debate on the community use of the territory surrounding sustainable use of protected areas as well as give grants to participatory mapping methodology for claim with the territory of common community use.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-12-09) OLIVEIRA, Marcus Vinicius Cunha; HENRIQUE, Márcio Couto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9096024504515280
This thesis researches the fisher(wo)men’s agency facing the socio-environmental impacts of the construction of the PA-458 highway and the geographic changes of the erosion process and advance of the sea on the Ajuruteua’s island. According on the official documents, newspapers, photographies, thesis, dissertations, oral speeches were analysed the actions of residentes (dwellers) fishermen and fisherwomen in relation (face) to the changes caused by the highway and the threats to their ways of life. As a result, we can say that fisher(wo)men, instead of the commom sense usually said (would say), are aware of the transformations of their time and nature, they produce/create adaptation strategies, atualyzing (updating) their ecological knwoledge, they accept or not the inovation of “modernity” according to their business (interests), they create complex relationships with the society around and with nature, they participate in trade network that are not always efficiency, they apropriate laws and languages outside their cultural universe and organize themselves politically to protect their territory and their ways of life according to current legislation.

A etnoictiologia de pescadores xikrin da terra indígena Trincheira Bacajá - Pará, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014) CARVALHO JÚNIOR, Jaime Ribeiro; NAKAYAMA, Luiza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3771896759209007; ROCHA, Rossineide Martins da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4371300451793081
This thesis was developed in five villages of the indigenous community Xikrin-Mebêngôkre, which inhabit the Indigenous Land Trincheira Bacajá - ILTB, Pará, Brazil. The overall objective was to analyze by ethnoictiology, the various ecological, cognitive and behavioral aspects of fishermen, aiming to understand the basic interactions that this community has with fish stocks and other elements of the ecosystems in ILTB. With the proper permits, the research was conducted between the months of April 2011 to April 2013, in seven trips to five villages, totaling 153 days. The information was obtained through ethnoictiological and ethnoecological approaches and employing a set of methods related to participatory research. The study included 103 Indians aged 15-84 years and residents of villages: Mrotidjãm; Bakajá; Pytakô; Pat-Kro and Pykayakà. According to the knowledge of Xikrin, the aquatic resources perceived by them in the ngo (water) field and used most often are made up of toe (fish) and they allowed to generate an ethnotaxonomical list consisting of 144 fish species that were grouped into four categories (consumption, commercial, bait and handicrafts) according to the diversity of use in ILTB, with 135 species declared for consumption (94% of total); it is noteworthy that there is overlap among species usages, ie, some fish have multiple functions and are used in different ways, however, the primary function is the protein source, ensuring family livelihood. According to the seasonality, this diversity of fish occurred in at least 26 preferred microhabitats. The waki (screen) mode was used in all seasonal periods and opportunely was built in ILTB an ethnoecological seasonal calendar, which were summarized the close connections of the biotic and abiotic components existing in the region. In these ethnoictiological records of species of cultural importance Xikrin represent the first steps towards understanding the process of use of fish and it is considered that the continuity of this knowledge, sayings and doings Xikrin, acquired over many years and passed by mebengêt (old) are indispensable to the daily life of the entire population speaker and reader of language Mebêngôkre, not only for survival and empowerment of the communities, but also for the intrinsic value of belonging and being Xikrin.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03) MILHOMEM FILHO, Edem Oliveira; OLIVEIRA, Claudia Simone Baltazar de; SILVEIRA, Luiz Carlos de Lima; CRUZ, Thiago Matos; SOUZA, Givago da Silva; COSTA JÚNIOR, José Maria Farah; PINHEIRO, Maria da Conceição Nascimento
Introduction: Significant levels of mercury exposure associated with fish intake have been demonstrated in riverine populations living in areas of mineral exploration as the basin of Tapajós and Madeira. In the Tocantins region, although few studies, there is no evidence of human exposure through food. Objective: To assess the levels of exposure to mercury in resident fishermen families in the riverside area of the middle Tocantins and to quantify the levels in fish consumed by these families. Methods: We conducted a cross‑sectional study involving families of Beira Rio community fishermen, located on the Tocantins riverbanks in the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão. Brazil. Data were collected from socio‑demographic and food profile, as well as samples of fish and hair, which were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results: The socio‑demographic profile of families studied was common to the local population located in other basins. The food profile did not run the default rule, with the fish being the primary dietary protein source. The species of piscivorous and zooplancton habits had the highest mercury concentrations, and the mean values were 0.2775 µg/g in fish‑dog and 0.1360 µg/g in mapará. Among the 25 families evaluated, the lowest average concentration of family was 0.186 ± 0.043 µg/g and the higher was 5.477 ± 2.896 µg/g. Conclusion: Fishing families have low mercury exposure levels in the same order of magnitude, probably because of the food consumption of fish, including piscivorous species, which were found to be below the safe upper limit for human consumption established by Brazilian standards. This serves as a reference for other studies.

Peixes ornamentais: conhecimento tradicional e regulamentações sobre o manejo da atividade pesqueira no território indígena remanso - Chorrobocón, Guainía - Colômbia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-09-29) LOPEZ, Juan David Guzman; ALMEIDA, Oriana Trindade de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0325909843645279
This research offers an analysis of the community management process develop by indigenous fishermen in the ornamental fishery activity and their relation with the institutions responsible of the control of this sector, highlighting: the factors that has facilitated and hindered the participation of the fishermen in the management initiative; the natural resources use systems and their incidence in the family economy; the relation that exists between local arrangements and the formals norms among ornamental use resource, likewise, the relations generated between the agents involved into the management of this activity. This study is characterized by been descriptive analytic from a qualitative approximation by a participatory research, been implemented by the use of rural participatory diagnostic tools and semi-structured interviews; the information was ordered and analyzed by the use of analysis categories and the implementation of two information triangulation types (intra and inter) to maximize the efforts validity made in the field, and to reduce the information subjectivity and maximize the research stringency. The results founded shows that, from the different extractive activities developed by the community, the mining garimpo and the ornamental fishery have been the most constants; however, the illegality conditions of the first has led to the decline, meanwhile the fishery consolidates as the principal resource of income for the habitants; among the factors that have influence in the fishermen participation level along the management process, were found: the institutional intervention, the resource depletion, the inequality in the commercial relations, the internal conflicts, the external pressure, the property regime and the mining depletion. The implementation of the management system adopted by the fishermen is constituted by the syncretism between the local norms supported in the traditional knowledge and the government regulation, in response to the necessity to maintain a stable resource of income than the detriment made by the transgression in the traditional norms around the territory management. In reference to the government scope, the institutional plans does not contains constant programs among this sector, their work is limited to short term plans, besides constants reforms difficult the accomplishment of their responsibilities and the recognition of their functions by the local populations. The main conclusions are: the extractive economics dynamics introduced new acculturation elements that deteriorated the traditional scheme of the social organization and produce new natural resource use possibilities that have led the population into the search of a social ascent from the economic scope; despite the association been based in democratic principles, his performance depends in the clans rivalries that predominates in the community; the fishermen depends from the institutional intervention for the consolidation of their management system, that’s why, the institutional discontinuity have created the weakening of the organization process; the regulation effective application and the local arrangements between fishermen are limited, by one side, the lack of resource, personal and political will restricts its work, by the other side, the external demand and the economic benefits necessity determine the effectiveness of the arrangements implemented; besides, still does not exist a clear instance of coordination that allows to harmonized the institutional programs for the management of this activity

A pesca artesanal e suas contribuições para o desenvolvimento local: uma análise comparativa dos distritos de Icoaraci - Belém (PA) - Brasil e Vilankulo - Inhambane - Moçambique
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-07-18) MASSAMBA, Sandra Fazenete Picardo; VASCONCELLOS SOBRINHO, Mário; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7843288526039148; MORAES, Sérgio Cardoso de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4568311568729454
This research aims to analyze the artisanal fisheries and its contribution to the local development, taking into account (as case studies places) the spatial area of district of Icoaraci-Belém (PA) - Brazil and Vilankulo, Inhambane Province in Mozambique. Artisanal fishing is an important activity because it supplies to the local. These activities are used as the source of their income (financially and economically viable) and as a supplier of food for their sustainability as well as for their families’ welfare. Data collection was based on semi-structured interviews submitted to the fisherfolk; the settle fishing Z-10 of Icoaraci, the association of Vilankulo fishermen; shops which sell fish and also the local authorities connected to this activity in the district mentioned above. Were applied questionnaires with open and closed questions to the people and institutions engaged in those activities in order to get an overview of the case which were part of debate in couples of years. However, to fulfill this desire it was required some materials such as notebook, pen, pencil and eraser. The observation technique was used so that it could be easy to check the reliability of the information given. To analyze the results we used the comparative method with qualitative and quantitative approach to identify the differences and similarities regarding the livelihood and socioeconomic profile of the fisherfolk, their social organization or framework and the interpretation on activity and local development in the districts of our study. For discussion, we used research made previously by other investigators in order to make the comparison of the results. The results show that most of the artisanal fishermen have the first grade of schooling or an incomplete education background, a monthly income of less than the minimum salary, and they are organized into colonies in the district of Icoaraci while in district of Vilankulo, they are organized as an NGO (Association of fishermen). Artisanal fishermen are engaged in other activities to generate more income for their survival. Fortunately, there are intermediate people in this activity which brings gains for them in term of fixture and it does not bring to them comfort because the income is still low for their survival. In conclusion, the artisanal fishing itself does not contribute to the local development because there are other elements connected directly to this activity which generates jobs and income for ensuring sustenance for many families living in these districts. In addition, this research brings a stepwise for the recommendation of the local government as well as the input of the ideas of how the artisanal fishing is not sustainable as the people can imagine about it. This work can be used for the plan of the local government to encourage them to work in partnership with the fisherfolk, creating project that are focused on local development.

Pescadoras de camarão: gênero, mobilização e sustentabilidade na ilha Trambioca, Barcarena, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-08) SIMONIAN, Ligia Terezinha Lopes
Through this paper the relations between gender, social mobilizations and sustainability in the context of the Trambioca Island - Barcarena, Para, Brazil -, specially regarding the shrimp (Macrobrachium amazonicum) fisherwomen. The research was oriented by the anthropological methodology of fieldwork and by the photographic production, but strategies were incorporated in a way to allow data production to do an analysis towards the political economy. Fundamentally, it revealed an experience in which fisherwomen end being the highlight in the shrimp production in this Island, who participate in the entire process of production, of transformation of the raw material and of commercialization. In spite of the globalized environmental and economic crisis, such fisherwomen are proposing the raising of shrimp, through which they intend to raise the income. However, in such an organizational process, they perceive that the limits are many and that they need training and technology linked to the raising of shrimp and financing. Consequently, the implications to sustainability appear as many, in special if a possibility of a differentiated economy is to be taken into consideration.

Pescadores artesanais da colônia Z-16: relações de produção-formação e práxis política
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-07-05) MARTINS, Egidio; ARAÚJO, Ronaldo Marcos de Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7901626430586502
This thesis discusses the relations of production and training, as well as the political praxis of the Artisanal Fishermen of the Z-16 Colony, in the municipality of Cametá, in the State of Pará. It is a case study with a qualitative approach, based on the Dialectical historical materialism. As data collection procedures, we used the semi-structure interviews and the documentary analysis; Already the data treatment followed the guidelines of the content analysis. The theoretical foundations are mainly Marx (2013), Gramsci (1988), Lukács (2013), Vázquez (2011), Thompson (2011), Grzybowski (1987), Mészáros (2005), Marx and Engels (2009) and others. Our hypothesis considers that the fishermen of Z-16 materialize relations of production and formation in an integrated way, when they develop their activities of subsistence, and this constitutes a political praxis that is opposed to the logic of the ruling class. We find that fishermen assume a collective political praxis, a result of their relations of production and formation, but also of their historical experience in the space of the class struggle, and this happens with contradictions in relation to the bourgeois state power and in relation to the fishermen themselves. We conclude that these people constitute themselves as political people at the same time as they produce, and build space from their organizations, so they also construct a counter-hegemonic social stance when they struggle to maintain their existence. These are experiences developed by these fishermen who go beyond work as an activity of simple fishing technique and this strengthens as a fraction of the working class.

Sustainable Use Conservation Units are areas that seek to prioritize the harmonious relationship between human populations, their livelihoods, and the environment. Currently, in Brazil, the areas of environmental conservation are flagged as areas of great importance and are seen as strategies for the protection and management of territories. At this juncture, population groups that inhabit these areas are dedicated to extractive, highlighting here fishing practiced in an artisan way. Thus, this work presents the following analyzes: I - A social, economic and environmental characteristic as well as contributions to analyze and trace the profile of artisanal fishermen residing in three fishing communities of the municipality of Bragança, northeast of the state of Pará, included in the Extractive Reserve Marinha Caeté-Taperaçu. II- To analyze the environmental perception of artisanal fishermen on the aspects of the action of the fishing activity, the natural resources and the extractive reserve and its management. To that end, interviews were conducted through questionnaires to 251 families of artisanal fishermen between men and women, of which 85 (33.86%) were from Vila dos Pescadores, 96 (38.25%) from Vila do Castelo and 70 (27.89%) of Vila do Taperuçu. From this, it was observed that the interviewees' ages ranged from 18 to 55 years old, and they have low schooling, where 50% did not finish even elementary school, showing that income is around 5,506.56 ± 3,905.85 R$ per year, and 86.85% of this income is linked to the link they have with the middleman. As a result, most artisanal fishermen own 92% of their own homes, use wells dug 59.36% or 40.24% water distribution network, have septic tank 49% and urban cleaning services are available. which meets 56.57% of respondents. In analysis II, questionnaires were used following the Likert-type scale model, and the data were submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of 5% (𝛼 = 0.05). This resulted in the environmental perception about the activity of the fishing activity, that it was possible to verify significant differences among the communities (𝑝 = 0.015). However, only the Taperaçu community differed from Vila dos Pescadores (𝑝 = 0.013), and there were no significant differences between the communities. As for the environmental perception about the use of natural resources, the communities differed from each other. The community of Castelo differed from the community of Taperaçu (𝑝 < 0.001) and Fisher Village (𝑝 < 0.001). However, it was not possible to identify differences between the community of Taperaçu and Vila dos Pescadores (𝑝 = 0.269); and the environmental perception about the extractive reserve and the management plan, it was possible to identify significant differences between the communities (𝑝 = 0.001). However, only the community of Castelo differed from Vila dos Pescadores (𝑝 < 0.001) and there were no significant differences between the other communities. Considering that one community diverged from the other because of factors such as political representativeness, which generates visibility for the community, causing good accessibility and inclusion of fishermen in sustainable programs for sustainability, thus occurring greater engagement of one community to the detriment of the other.

Pescadores insulares e mercados: aspectos das relações de reciprocidade no comércio de pescado no Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-08) LEITÃO, Wilma Marques; SOUSA, Isabel Soares de
This paper put on few reflexions emerged from ethnographies on islands on the mouth of Amazon river: Capim island, in Abaetetuba and Apeú Salvador, located in Viseu. We analyzed few features related to the fisheries market in which are the habitants of these islands. The ethnography allows us a rich dialogue with theories towards the analyze of the process involving these small fishworkers, mainly theirs commercial affairs, that include larger than monetarist links. In that region fishery is a very important activity not only by supply food directly to people but in their sole commercial production. Grosso modo, all fishermen in small scales are designated by the term 'artisanal', and we suggest thereway that the simplist opposition from 'artisanal' to industrial fishery, reduce the specificities and particular fields of the production, leading to an idea of homogeneity in the activity. What we want is just point put the complexity and diversification of social organization in which group of fishermen, in accord with each empiric reality.

Traditional knowledge and artisanal fishing technology on the Xingu River in Pará, Brazil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08) MESQUITA, Esther Mirian Cardoso; NAHUM, Victoria Judith Isaac
In artisanal fishing, the techniques used by a community reflect the characteristics of the natural environment, in particular the distribution and availability of resources, as well as local traditions and customs. However, economic development may result in the loss of these traditions. The present study documents the fishing techniques used by the communities on the Xingu River in the Brazilian state of Pará (Maribel, Altamira, Belo Monte, Vitória do Xingu, Vila Nova, Senador José Porfírio, Porto de Moz, and Gurupá). Interviews were used to investigate traditional local knowledge and the distribution of the different fishing methods within the study area. The local fishers described the use of 12 different types of net, 10 hook and line techniques, and eight kinds of spearfishing. Free diving and scuba diving are also used for the capture of ornamental fish.
