Abordagem multicriterial e indicadores ecológicos e econômicos utilizados na identificação de áreas prioritárias para a conservação da ictiofauna no Estuário Amazônico, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) MOURÃO, Keila Renata Moreira; FRÉDOU, Flávia Lucena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4779271407117528
This study was divided into three steps: (1) description of spatial and temporal distribution of fish fauna in the area of transition from marine and freshwater environments (Chapter 1), (b) use of descriptors of community as a way to determine the community structure and use of the habitat for fish fauna (Chapter 2) and (3) use of community descriptors studied in Chapters 1 and 2, as a criteria to development indicators (integrated in GIS environment) to define priority areas and scenarios for the conservation of the fish fauna (Chapter 3). The collections of the fish fauna in the main channel and tidal creek occurred from 2004 to 2011 during the dry period (July- December) and rainy period (January-June), using gill net, trawl and block net as fishing gears, and in three important areas of the Amazon estuary: the bays of Guajará and Marajó and Guamá River. A total of 41,516 specimens of 136 species, 38 families and 12 orders were captured. The spatial and temporal distribution of fish fauna in the area of transition from mesohaline and freshwater environments showed that species richness increases from the Guamá River towards the Marajó Bay, along with the increasing salinity. In relation to trophic functional groups, piscivores (PV) and zoobentívoros (ZB) were dominant in all areas. The community descriptors obtained in the main channel, showed the highest values of biomass and relative abundance in number in Marajó Bay. In relation to the tidal channel, the abundance of biomass was greater in Guajará Bay. The main channel is used for breeding and nursery, and 90% of the individuals were immature. The indicators of diversity of the environment (DA), habitat use (UH), relative abundance (CPUE), environmental health (SA) and relation to fisheries (PR), showed conservation priorities considered medium and high, along the area study. This trend was also observed considering the ecological and economic scenarios, that showed medium-high and high-very high priority for conservation of the fish fauna in the northern portion Marajó Bay in the dry period, respectively. The methodologies used determined the ecological importance of the study area, emphasizing the heterogeneity between them and therefore cannot be considered as a single environment. The multicriteral approach adopted has no precedent for the Amazon estuary. This methodology proved to be effective in providing, through the different scenarios, a range of options that allows the decision maker to explore the issue as best as possible or use it as part of a process of decision making.

Acordos de pesca: desafios de implementação e consolidação em áreas de várzea do município de Gurupá, Pará, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-08-03) COSTA, Pâmela Melo; MCGRATH, David Gibbs; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4373475491613670
Considering the context in which many decisions Amazon to protect and conserve the environment for the region often arise vertically, with no participation of the users of natural resources, local community in decision-making processes, and end up forgetting the empirical experiences this population is that they did this study. Through the methodological techniques: direct observation, application of semi-structured interviews, analysis of monitoring data sheets, we tried to look at the context of life gurupaense, especially those living on the floodplains of the municipality, and has considered agroextractivists activity fishing source of protein, income and who has been practicing in a shared mechanism of the Fisheries Agreement as a way of managing this activity. The research focuses on the Community Management of Shrimp implementation process and consolidate the participation of experts, NGOs and financing projects, as well as the social, economic and environmental conditions in periods in which there was or not the work of that outside mediation. The study showed that participation of outside mediation stimulated organizational processes and provided the local collective action, which even with the termination of support, self-management and community force is passed on to younger generations, but the study also shows that the challenge best indicators for the environmental levels is required technical support to promote scientific research in the field of Population Dynamics of Fish Stocks.

This study aims to know the fish diversity of the family Cichlidae in different habitats (lakes, ressacas and river banks) and habitats (floating macrophytes, branches and beaches) on Sustainable Development Reserve Mamiraua (RDSM), medium Solimoes River, Amazonas. Samples were collected in two periods: 1) Three months sampled in March, July and December 2003 in 21 environments; 2) from September 2003 to August 2004 in five lakes with presence of the floating meadows Eichornia crassipes and Paspalum repens. Were used gillnets, hand nets and seine nets. Were collected 6397 fishes and 350 kilograms, represented in 28 species and 16 genera. Cichlids represented approximately 35% of the total number of fish collected. The composition of the catch was dominated by juvenile forms or small fishes. Mesonauta insignis and Cichlassoma amazonarum dominate in abundance and weight along the study. Species richness was larger in the period I (28 species), while during the period II were recorded 19 species. Nine species were absent in lakes with floating meadows. The study showed that the cichlids moving between environments and habitats of the Reserve in search of better conditions for their survival.

The Amazonian estuary is a region with favorable conditions for productivity, and fishery is an important activity. The islands of Combu, Onças and Mosqueiro, focus of this study, are part of the Amazonian estuary and fishing is an important activity. Based on this information, the objective of this study was to describe and to compare the different types of fishing at Combu, Onças and Mosqueiro islands, identifying sustainability indicators, considering the economic, social, ecological and technological aspects, which results may help to assist to generate subsidies for the formulation of public policies to the fisheries sector. Descriptive and numeric variables considering the different dimensions were used in order to describe the systems of fish production to make comparisons including both the systems and also the islands studied. For comparative statistical analysis only the numerical variables (means and percentages) were used from data collected by researches and from secondary data. Multivariate analysis; Cluster analysis and ordination (MDS) comparing the systems were applied to identify groups and the possible causes of the similarity between the systems for each island. On Combu´s Island it was identified the following fishery systems: matapi, gill net for consumption, block net , longline hook medium and longline hook large. On Onças´s Island it was observed the fishery systems matapi, gill net for consumption, gill net for commercial purpose, block net , longline hook medium and longline hook large. On Mosqueiro´s Island it was identified the fishery systems matapi, gill net commercial, longline hook medium and longline hook large. The analysis of systems in all dimensions showed that the island of Mosqueiro differs to the other islands. When analyzed separately by dimension Matapi system, block net and gill net consumption of the islandes Combu and Onças were very similar. However, systems observed in Mosqueiro´s Island differ from the other islands mainly considering the economic dimension. Based on the results, it can be said that fishing in the islands of Onças and Combu is for subsistence and the main activity is the vegetable extraction while fishing in Mosqueiro´s Island is commercial. Although fishing in the islands of Combu and Onças is only for subsistence, it´s also an important source of food and extra money for the residents. In Mosqueiro´s Island fishing has high economic importance, but the fishing areas are also exploited by fishermen from other parts of the state without any management initiatives by the government.

Avaliação da biologia reprodutiva de Plagioscion squamosissimus (HECKEL, 1840) e Plagioscion surinamensis (BLEEKER, 1873) no terminal de Vila do Conde e área adjacente (Barcarena - PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-04-29) BARBOSA, Neuciane Dias; ROCHA, Rossineide Martins da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4371300451793081; FRÉDOU, Flávia Lucena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4779271407117528
The Port of Vila do Conde, situated in the city of Barcarena/PA, have been exposed to a number of environmental disasters in recent years which can eventually cause the disequilibrium of the use that the aquatic resources make of the environment and consequently to the ecosystem as a whole. Artisanal fishery in this region is relevant, detaching Plagioscion squamosissimus and P.surinamensis as the mains sources of income and food for the population. The objective of this study was to describe the areas of concentration and the reproductive biology of P. squamosissimus and P. surinamensis in the adjacent area of Vila do Conde, mainly identifying the importance of the use of these environments for reproduction. Aiming to identify to the period and fishing sites of greater species abundance, it was obtained the index of abundance CPUE (Kg/viagem) based on data collected from June 2007 to May 2008. The determination of the use of the area for reproduction and the description of reproductive biology was based on 40 to 53 individuals of each species collected from the commercial fishery in a bimensal basis. In laboratory, total length and total weight was registered and gonads were removed for the identification of sexual maturity. The abundance of P. squamosissimus is maximum between September and February and for P. surinamensis it is registered between March the May. The weight-length relationship showed isometry for the females of P. squamosissimus and for both sexes of P. surinamensis. For males of P. squamosissimus positive alometry was registered. The sexual ratio was favorable to the males for P. surinamensis (1,05male: 1female) and favorable to the females (1,11female: 1male) for P. squamosissimus. The value of L50 (length at first maturity) for P. squamosissimus was 16,14 cm for females and 21,43 cm for males. The length at first maturity for P. surinamensis was 27,65 cm for females and 27,13 cm for the males. The percentage of individuals in reproduction of the P. squamisissimus is considerable. The peak of the reproduction of this species (October/November and February/March) coincides with the peak of abundance, indicating that this species is in the area for reproduction. P.surinamensis presented greater percentage of immature and maturing individuals, indicating that this species uses this area mainly as a nursery. For P. surimamensis, reproductive individuals was mainly reported in August/September and October/November.

The aquaculture is being characterized as strategy to minimize the reduction of the fish. At Pará, the oyster farming was implanted in 2003 as an opportunity regarding to occupation and profits generation at Northeastern of this state. In 2005 this initiative was expanded to other communities with different levels of familiarity with the mollusk, regarding to the support either on the researches in this sector or on the extractive activity. This research evaluated the communitarian oyster farming performance in the state of Pará. It was studied three projects with at least two years of implementation and with either different levels of preservation and oyster harvest activity. The implementation of the firsts cultivations occurred simultaneously and in a similar way regarding to institutional support, however with different performances. The main producer issues are to obtain the license to develop this activity and also the necessity to take care about the tide. It is necessary to provide more detailed feasibility studies, with more commitment from the side of the interested institutions in order to perform the actions they are supposed to work out, providing events where it will be possible to spread the information and discuss the aquaculture bottlenecks at the state of Pará, as well to provide a consolidated partners network to prepare the groups regarding to organization, activity management and helping in the market access. The most part of the oyster famers are small producers, artisanal fishermen that found a way to manage their families via oyster farming. However, the oyster farming is a secondary activity to them, once it is still not enough to support their necessities. Nevertheless, several farmers already declared once they manage how to increase the oyster production they will be exclusively dedicated to this activity.

Avaliação sanitária de água de cultivo e de ostras da zona do salgado, nordeste do Estado do Pará - Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-04-19) KIYATAKE, Daniela Mayumi; RIBEIRO, Karla Tereza Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2654817572738748; PAIVA, Rosildo Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0510818763187669
The cultivation of oyster species of the genus Crassostrea is expanding in the northeast of the Brazilian state of Pará. This study analyzes the sanitary quality of the oysters and the water in which they are cultivated in the local municipality of São Caetano de Odivelas and Curuçá. Samples were collected monthly between June, 2009, and May, 2010. Water samples were collected from the flood and the ebb tides, and approximately 15 oysters were obtained each month. Coliform concentrations were determined using the multiple-tube fermentation technique, followed by the biochemical identification of the bacteria and determination the susceptibility profile of Escherichia coli isolated from oysters and water samples. The geometric mean concentration of thermotolerant coliforms in the water was 119 MPN/100 mL in São Caetano de Odivelas and 163,21 MPN/100 mL in Curuçá, well above the limit of 43 MPN/100 mL established by the Brazilian National Environment Council (CONAMA). As Brazilian legislation on the sanitary quality of bivalve mollusks covers only the processed product, the European Union legislation, which assigns oysters for raw consumption to three sanitary classes, was adopted for the evaluation of the results of the present study. In São Caetano de Odivelas only two of the samples collected during this study were assigned to class A, seven samples to class B and three samples to class C. While in Curuçá three samples were assigned to class A, seven samples to class C and two samples to class C. The results suggest the need for mitigation measures to ensure the health quality of the oysters, such as the application of methods of depuration.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-04-22) FERREIRA, Valdimere; MARTINELLI-LEMOS, Jussara Moretto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5264841936875017
This study investigated the biodiversity and spatial-temporal distribution of abundance of populations of shrimp and described the population structure of the Farfantepenaeus subtilis in an Amazonian Estuary. The shrimps were collected monthly from August 2006 to July 2007 in the rainy (January to June) and dry (July to December) season with bottom trawling and beach seine in the Middle-Upper (MU), Medium (M) and Low (L) sectors. In each sector two sites were sampled, of which two bottom trawling five minutes each and three beach seine of 150 m2 each were performed. The variables: temperature, pH and salinity of water and grain size and organic matter of the sediment were analyzed. For each shrimp were recorded the length Total - CT and cephalothorax - CC, total weight, sex and stage of gonadal maturation. The salinity differ between sectors I and MS (p <0.05) and M showed low organic matter content. The salinity differ significantly among sectors I and MS (p <0.05) and M showed low organic matter content. In all sectors the sand grains were prevalent on substrate, especially the fine sand in sector M. A total of 11,939 shrimps were collected, divided into twelve species and six families. Palaemonidae and Penaeidae had higher richness with five and three species, respectively. Penaeidae, Sergestidae and Palaemonidae had higher abundance, with Xiphopenaeus kroyeri, F. subtilis, Acetes marinus and Nematopalaemon schmitti, contributing 43, 31, 21 and 1.3% of the total catch, respectively. The species F. subtilis, X. kroyeri and Litopenaeus schmitti contributed 97% of the total biomass. The density and biomass from F. subtilis differ between the rainy and dry seasons (p <0.05) being higher in rainy season. In the rainy season, the density of X. kroyeri was higher in sectors M and I and dry season in sectors MS and M with higher biomass in sector I in both seasons. The density and biomass A. marinus was high in sector I (p <0.05). The salinity, sand, silt and clay significantly influenced the spatial and temporal distribution of abundance of shrimps (p <0.05). The CC of female F. subtilis was higher than males with 13.7 mm and 12.8 mm, respectively and differed in March (p <0.05). Females were more abundant and sex ratio was 0.8:1 especially in January, February, May and the total analysis (p <0.05). Developed shrimps occurred in rainy and abundance of juveniles was higher from January to June when it occurs the most intense peak spawning in the open sea.

Biologia e ecologia do camarão dulcícola Macrobrachium surinamicum Holthuis, 1948 (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) no estuário Guajará, Pará, costa norte do Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-02-29) CAVALCANTE, Danielle Viveiros; MARTINELLI-LEMOS, Jussara Moretto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5264841936875017
Macrobrachium surinamicum é uma espécie de camarão do Atlântico cuja biologia ainda é pouco conhecida. Na Amazônia ele é frequentemente capturado como fauna associada à M. amazonicum, espécie predominantemente dulcícola amplamente comercializada na região amazônica pela pesca artesanal, atendendo as necessidades alimentícias e econômicas da comunidade ribeirinha. Com o objetivo de caracterizar a distribuição espaço-temporal do camarão dulcícola M. surinamicum na Baía do Guajará e Ilha de Mosqueiro, correlacionando a abundância desta espécie com fatores abióticos (temperatura e salinidade) e, além disso, investigar a estrutura populacional, as principais relações biométricas e elucidar alguns aspectos da reprodução desta espécie, foram realizadas expedições mensais na Baía do Guajará e na Ilha de Mosqueiro de maio/2006 a abril/2007. As amostragens foram realizadas com utilização de armadilhas conhecidas localmente como matapis. Um total de 361 camarões foram capturados sendo a maior abundância em dezembro e a menor em julho de 2006. A maior captura foi na Ilha de Arapiranga e menor na Ilha de Mosqueiro. A abundância diferiu significativamente em dezembro/06 e nenhuma variável estudada teve influência significativa na abundância de M. surinamicum. Os machos foram maiores que as fêmeas e a proporção sexual total não diferiu significativamente do esperado de 1:1. A frequência de fêmeas e machos entre locais e meses foi maior em dois períodos do ano, denotando dois prováveis períodos de recrutamento: um maior de novembro a fevereiro e outro menor, de abril a maio. As relações entre o comprimento do cefalotórax (CC) e as demais variáveis indicaram crescimento alométrico positivo. A maturidade sexual de M. surinamicum ocorreu em tamanhos diferentes para fêmeas e machos, sendo que o tamanho médio da primeira maturação (L50) de fêmeas foi 5,47 mm de CC e de machos 8,85 mm, sendo 6,08 mm para os sexos agrupados. A combinação das maiores freqüências de estágios maturos, ovígeras e desovadas de fêmeas, com os picos de fator de condição relativos (Kr) indicam que as desovas são intermitentes, apresentando, no entanto, um pico desova em janeiro e fevereiro, coincidindo com a maior pluviosidade na região. A Baía do Guajará, especialmente os locais mais abrigados como a Ilha de Arapiranga e do Combu, propiciam o desenvolvimento de M. surinamicum, o que indica que esta espécie tenha preferência para áreas menos antropizadas, se mantendo no estuário tanto nas etapas juvenis quanto adulta, que todos os estádios de maturação gonadal foram encontrados o que torna a Baía de Guajará e a Ilha de Mosqueiro locais importantes para a conservação desse crustáceo.

This research aims to contribute to the knowledge of biology and trophic ecology of the species H. unimaculatus in Araguari river, in the influence area hydropower Coaracy Nunes, Amapá, Brazil. The study region corresponds to a portion of the river basin Araguari. Samples were collected bimonthly from May 2009 to July 2010. Batteries were used for mesh networks (2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, cm between opposite knots with 10 m x 1.5 m in height) and casting net (15 and 20 mm). The gillnets were exposed during 17 h, with inspects every 3h. The specimens collected were kept on ice and preserved in 10% formalin. They were weighed (Total Weight) and measured (Total Length). Sex was identified from the macroscopic analysis of gonads, which were weighed and preserved in 10% formalin. The stomachs were weighed and preserved in 70% alcohol. The environment was characterized by the multivariate analyzes. The length structure of the population, length-weight relationship, sex ratio, relative abundance and biomass were evaluated. The location and time of reproduction, size at first maturation and spawning type, were also studied. The trophic ecology was evaluated by feeding activity and content organic matter. Food items were analyzed by the methods of frequency of occurrence, degree of food preference and the feendig index. The results showed that the area downstream of the dam and lake area was greater transparency of the water in the reservoir depth and predominant amount was larger values of pH. The average length was 193.74 mm (80-258 mm ± 22.71 mm) and mean weight was 70.90 g (10- 160 g ± 23.99 g). There were significant differences in length for the periods of the year. The increase of the species was negative allometric (b = 2.34). The sex ratio was 2:1 favoring females. The relative abundance and biomass were higher in the reservoir and lake area. Spawning occurred between the months of November 2009 and January 2010, individuals preferentially spawn in the reservoir and the lake. The total spawning type and size at first maturity is from 157.5 mm. The species has iliófaga-detritivorous feeding habit with a tendency to omnivory. The feeding strategy is general, but dominant for items phytoplankton and detritus. The species H. unimaculatus, has adapted successfully to the dams and their diet may have been altered before the changes caused by the environment.

Biologia reprodutiva e dinâmica populacional de Hypancistrus zebra Isbrücker & Nijssen, 1991 (Siluriformes, Loricariidae), no rio Xingu, Amazônia brasileira
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-05-25) ROMAN, Ana Paula Oliveira; ROCHA, Rossineide Martins da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4371300451793081; ISAAC, Victoria Judith; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3696530797888724
Hypancistrus zebra is a specie used with ornamental purposes, endemic and rare in the Middle - Lower Rio Xingu, which has strong demand from the international ornamental fish market, which created a strong pressure of exploitation associated with this species. H.zebra is included on the list of Brazilian fauna threatened with extinction and their capture is prohibited. It is known that even prohibited, it continues to be captured and exported illegally, together with the construction of this hydroelectric Belo Monte in his patch of distribution, which threatens their geographical distribution and lack of information on its biology and ecology make it difficult planning actions for this species. So, if this work aimed to study aspects of reproductive biology and population dynamics to contribute to conservation measures for this species. Specimens of H. zebra were taken monthly from March 2009 to February 2010, by diving with a compressor, on the Xingu River, between the location of the weevil and Rita village of Belo Monte. The captured individuals were weighed and measured (total weight and total length). The gonads were removed and immediately fixed in Bouin solution. This was followed by routine histological techniques and the slides were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE). The stages of gonadal maturation were described based on the presence of germ cells at different stages of development. Through the length frequency data, estimates of population parameters such as growth models, recruitment, mortality, yield per recruit and size of first gonadal maturity. The species showed a seasonal spawning peaks between the two transition seasons of drought and flood (and vice versa) of the river, and two periods of recruitment, with different growth rates. It was estimated that the species has a lifespan of five years, and is at the limit of maximum sustainable yield, which is characterized as a dangerous situation for the species, because any increase in effort will compromise the stock and it is not known impacts that occur as a result of changes in their habitat caused by dam construction.

Caracterização da ictiofauna durante o período seco, na Baía do Guajará e Baía do Marajó
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) MELO, Ylana Priscila da Costa; FRÉDOU, Thierry; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8119220407894290
The Bay of Guajará and Bay of Marajó coverage area of search and inserted into the context of the estuary Paraense, are characterized by receiving the majority of freshwater discharge and submit macrotidal area. The fishing in this region is of great importance to the economy of several municipalities in the state of Pará, including the capture of several species and different fishing gear and two fleets and technologically distinct (artisanal and industrial). As part of the research study in the Bay of Guajará and Bay of Marajó, it was necessary to contribute with important information related to biology and ecology of the environment, where such information was used to perform the characterization of the fish fauna of the area during the dry period in order to survey the local diversity, since the majority of fish landed in Bethlehem is from these areas through fishing. The study included areas belonging to the state of Pará, covering the port terminals Bay of Guajará and Bay of Marajó. An extra collection was performed in the area of the island of Mosqueiro. The data available so far do not show differentiation in the composition of the fauna of the areas studied. It was estimated a total of 37 fish species, accounting for 4379 individuals in the Bay of Guajará Bay of Marajó and Mosqueiro island, where the family was more representative Scianidade grouping species that contributed the most, which were: Hake (Plagioscion squamosissimus) and Curuca (Stellifer rastrifer) (assumed to be constant, ie, effectively making up the fish fauna of the place in the bay of Guajará, as in the bay of Marajó and the island of Mosqueiro). Among the 37 species, 4 were considered constant, 26 were occasional white and 7 catches. Hake (Plagioscion squamossisimus) and Curuca (Stellifer microps) were the most important species for fisheries in terms of catch per unit effort (CPUE), frequency of occurrence, and relative contribution of Simper analysis (multivariate). Being only the island of Mosqueiro that stood out: Mackerel (Pellona flavipinis), because of marine influence in this area is higher, which thus characterizes the local biota and distinguish it from other regions. Overall diversity was low with greater variations, and the evenness remained free of major difference between the areas. The area had low species diversity compared to other estuaries, mainly explained by the high hydrodynamic of the area and high flow vessels, making the environment inhospitable to the emergence of some species. More emphasis has earned the bay of Guajará has great ecological importance because it is considered as the nursery, and therefore economical, as there are commercial species that spend part of their life cycle there.

The Amazon floodplain has a rich biodiversity and its characteristics influence the economically and ecologically important natural aquatic resources for the people. On the basis of these information, the objective of this research was to characterize the composition and abundance of ichthyofauna in two floodplain lakes in the Santarem region, and to understand the use I buy fishers in the Piracãoera and Campos fishing communities, in the Urucurituba region, and Barreira and Correio communities in the Tapará region. Samples were taken in the Aramanaí and Curiquara lakes considering the four hydrological periods (rising, flood, low, dry) for the period between July of 2006 and April of 2007. For the fish sampling were used set gillnets batteries. To collect data on catches of fishermen, forms were used that contained information about the characteristics of the fisheries. We caught 10,146 fish, which were distributed in 156 species, 27 families and 8 orders. The most abundant families in number of individuals were Sciaenidae and Loricariidae. In Aramanaí Lake, the Loricaria sp, was the species with the highest CPUAn with 0.02 individuals per m². hour. In terms of CPUAp featured species Potamotrygon motoro, with 0.13 g.m ². hour and Pterygoplichthys pardalis with 0.11 g. m². hour. In Curiquara Lake, the main catch in number of individuals was represented by the Pachypops fourcroi with 0,001 individuals per m² of gillnet. Curiquara and Aramanaí lakes 9 trophic guilds were identified and for both lakes fish piscivores and detritivores showed the largest catch by weight. The average length of individuals caught in the lakes was 20.27 ± 7.53 cm. The highest mean length of individuals was in the flood and lower in the low period. When fishing is practiced by fishermen used a variety of fishing gear devices highlighting the gill netting. The use of gear depends on the environment exploited, target species, and in addition to the season, and there may be combinations of more than one gear during the catch. The average yield of the fisheries in the two regions was 10 kg.fishermen.dia-1. In Urucurituba region the CPUE average was 16kg.fishermen.dia-1, in Tapará was 4.5 kg.fishermen.dia-1.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10-27) MELO, Tatianne Pereira Gomes de; VENEKEY, Virág; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1106411624280455
Considering benthic communities few studies are related to meiobenthic communities of tropical regions with macrotidal regime. This thesis is divided in two chapters. In chaper 1 the space temporal variations of meiofauna structure and Nematoda associations were analysed in beaches with different hydrodynamics at Algodoal Island. (Para). The samplings were made during one year (September/2011, December 2011, March/2012 and June/2012) in three beaches of the island: Caixa d’Agua, Farol and Princesa. The meiofauna was composed by 14 taxons, with Nematoda and Tardigrada as dominant groups. The mean density of meiofauna at Princesa beach was significantly different from Farol beach. The result was attributed to the higher disponibility of food in the intermediate beach (Farol) and the lower disponibility of food and higher waves action in the oceanic dissipative beach (Princesa). All Nematoda descripts (density, richness, eveness and diversity) presented higher values in the protected estuarine beach Caixa d’Agua and lower in the oceanic beach. Considering stations in the beaches, higher densities occured in the middle intertidal zone and lower values in the upper intertidal zone, however richness, eveness and diversity presented maximum values on the lower intertidal zone. 131 Nematoda genera were identified. The nematofauna was significantly different between months and stations in all beaches. Water content, subtrate temperature and proportion of sand were the enviromental variables more related to Nematoda genera. In chapter 2 was verified a taxonomic review and analysys were done to identify the diversity patterns of meiofauna and Nematoda from macrotidal sandy beaches, considering different morphodynamic states and different latitudes: a literature review. Until now 46 Nematoda genera were identified in dissipative beaches, 103 in beach dominated by semi-exposted tide, 82 in protected beach, 80 in beach modified by tide and 82 in ultradissipative beaches. Concerning latitudes, 139 genera were recorded in tropical region and 107 in temperate region.

Conflito e enfrentamento diante das mudanças ambientais decorrentes da construção de barragem: memória coletiva e pesca artesanal no Lago da UHE de Tucuruí/PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-04-26) SOUZA, Cleide Lima de; RAVENA CAÑETE, Voyner; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9961199993740323
This study investigates the artificial lake of the Tucuruí/PA hydroelectric power plant. The main problem is the memory about access and use of fishing resources. Some of the research questions are: does knowledge about the ecosystem prior to the construction of the reservoir allow the confrontation of the local population, that is, the artisan fishermen in relation to the highly modified environment? To what extent knowledge about water resources are incorporated to new knowledge so that different strategies of access and use of fishing resources are created? Which socioenvironmental changes interfere in the collective memory? With these questions in mind, the study aims to identify and analyze collective memory taking into consideration the changes in the natural environment due to the strong impacts of the Tucuruí/PA hydroelectric power plant, in order to identify and analyze the dynamic between the old actors (native) and new (immigrants) and possible scenarios of conflict involving artisanal fishing. The methodology include the choice of 3 of the main fish landing ports (Santa Rosa, Polo Pesqueiro and Porto do Onze) and the use of quanti-qualitative techniques and the application of 80 questionnaires and 50 semi-structured interviews as well as the gathering of documental and bibliographic information prior to the creation of the lake. The theoretical reference refers to society and nature, collective memory and artisanal fishing. The results highlight the dimension of the socioenvironmental impact caused, marked in the collective memory that allows remembering the environment before the construction of the dam (Tocantins river), in the process of confronting the new environment (artificial lake) that allows artisanal fishing in another territory, now (re) constructed by people´s collective memory. The study concludes that the way of living of these fishermen in face of the changes, which involve the transformation of a river into a lake, represents a rupture in their knowledge and in their relation with nature. Collective memory represents an essential tool for continuity, although uncertain, as it links past and present in the reconstruction of a new fishing territory.

Dinâmica da comunidade microfitoplanctônica relacionada com os parâmetros físico-químicos do estuário do rio Guajará-Mirim (Vigia - PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-03-31) CARDOSO, Fábio Ferreira; PAIVA, Rosildo Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0510818763187669
Estuaries are rich nutrients environments, favoring reproduction and development of several species. Phytoplankton represents a considerable portion of primary production in these environments and, together with other factors, regulates the biological productivity levels. This study aimed to know the microphytoplankton dynamics and its correlation with environmental factors in the Guajará-mirim river’s estuary in the city of Vigia-PA, an important fishery center of the Pará state. Every two months were made collections of the phytoplankton and take measurements of physicochemical parameters in four collection stations along the estuary, in ebb and flood tide periods. Were determined the specific composition and density of microphytoplankton (org.L-1) and analysis of frequency of occurrence, diversity and evenness, clustering and principal components. Seasonally, was noted, mainly during the ebb tide, a considerable physicochemical variation, strongly related with hydrological cycle in the region. Seventy-eight taxa were recorded belonging to the Bacillariophyta (65), Chlorophyta (6), Cyanophyta (3), Dinophyta (3) and Ochrophyta (1) divisions. Bacillariophyta was dominant in species number, frequency of occurrence and density (99.89%). The monthly average densities of the microphytoplankton ranged from 9.999 (July) to 535.411 org L-1 (January). In January happened a bloom of Skeletonema costatum (max = 1.996.613 org.L-1). The microphytoplankton community was characterized as the median diversity (annual general mean = 2.40). The seasonal variation of physicochemical parameters and species density was the predominant factor to the grouping of samples, and it formed two major groups, the first composed by samples of the rainy season and the second by samples of the drought period. The principal components analysis showed that, despite the physicochemical parameters have low spatial and seasonal variability, the variation in rate of rainfall, total dissolved solids content and salinity was decisive in the variation of density of most species and also promoted a slight increase in diversity in the drought period.

Dinâmica espaço-temporal da pesca industrial de camarão-rosa Farfantepenaeus subtilis na plataforma continental do Amazonas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-05-18) MARTINS, Déborah Elena Galvão; SOUZA FILHO, Pedro Walfir Martins e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3282736820907252; CAMARGO-ZORRO, Mauricio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5423657235023988
Knowledge of spatial distribution of fishing resources is essential to fisheries management. The southern brown shrimp Farfantepenaeus subtilis (Perez-Farfante, 1967) is an industrial fishing fleet target on the Amazon Continental Shelf. This study aimed to evaluate F. subtilis relative abundance spatial-temporal patterns from commercial fishery data, using Geographic Information System tools. Catch per unit effort (CPUE), used as index of relative abundance, was related to bathymetry, substrate characteristics, Amazon river flow and the oceanographic variables obtained by remote sensing: sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration. Analyzing substrate characteristics, the commercial shrimp trawls were concentrated at the mottled mud region, where the overlap of environmental factors was crucial for a higher incidence of F. subtilis. In this region, features such as substrate (mud), sedimentation rate (<1 cm.yr-1) and salinity (> 30) are the ideal habitat for F. subtilis. Higher CPUE values were associated with lower temperatures and higher values of chlorophyll-a concentration, which occur at the greatest flow of the Amazon river, during the first six months of the year. It was observed the occurrence of three periods with different levels of production along the year: from February to April, with higher CPUE of southern brown shrimp, from May to July, and August to September, with lower CPUE. The results showed that relative abundance of F. subtilis is not distributed uniformly in space nor in seasonal variation.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-06-10) GIRARD, Thátila Celestino; FRÉDOU, Flávia Lucena; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4779271407117528; ROSA FILHO, José Souto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3223362071251898
Thalassinidea is marine invertebrate of great importance in the ecology of softbottom environments, especially given its influence on the flow of oxygen, energy and nutrients, and bioturbate activities. These ghost shrimps live in burrows of which depends for your needs, like protection, reproduction and feeding. In some places of the world this group has been exploited as bait. The burrowin shrimp Lepidophthalmus siriboia Felder & Lovett, 1993 (Crustacea: Callianassidae) occurs from Florida to Brazil. This study aim evaluate the structure and dynamic population of L.siriboia in the Maiandeua island (PA), associating processes observed with environmental characteristics related to sediment and water. Samples were taken monthly between June 2007 and May 2008, with a suction pump. In laboratory, animals were sexed, measured and weighed. In ovigerous females was counted the numbers of eggs in pleopods. The growth was estimated through the von Bertalanffy model that determines the relationship between carapace length (CC) and age (t). A total of 1268 organisms were captured (753 males and 515 females), which lengths ranged from 0,3 to 1,85 cm and the weight from 0,01 to 3,09g. The females monthly mean length was significantly higher than males (p<0,05) in almost months of the year. The carapace length and weight was high and significant correlation to males and females, with length positive allometric to both sexes. The size of first maturation reached was 0,7 cm to females and 0,6 cm to males. Males were proportionally more abundant, totalizing 59,4% of all organisms captured (sex ratio of 1,46 males: 1 female). There was a significant predominance of males in size classes between 0,3 and 1,2 cm and females in the size classes higher/equal than 1,2 cm. There was registred 139 ovigerous females, in which the majority (48,2%) occurred in the class interval 1,1 to 1,2 cm of carapace length. Absolute fecundity ranged of 0 to 1546 eggs/female, with average 826,25 eggs/female. There was positive and significative correlation between the numbers of eggs and the female weight. The growth female was smaller than males, and observed values for males of L_: 1,63 , K: 1, C: 0,2, WP: 0,18 e to females; L_: 1,68, K: 0,8, C: 0,2 e WP: 0,09. Mortality estimates of males were higher than females in all method used: catch curve (Z=1,67 e Z=0,11 to males and females), Beverton & Holt (Z=1,9 e Z= 1,76 to males and females) and Powell-Wetherall (Z/K=3,98 e Z/K= 2,25 to males and females). There was registered three recruitment pulses in November, February and May. The results showed : 1. males mean length is smallest than females throughout the year; 2. females are dominants in the size classes higher (_1,2 cm); 3. The reproduction is continuous with ovigerous females throughout the year; 4. growth parameters calculated was higher for males than females; 5. Females had reduced growth rate in January (WP:0,09) and males in February (WP:0,18); 6. the mortality is higher to males; 7. recruitment occurs throughout the year with three pronounced peaks in November, February and May.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-05-25) CUNHA, Cristiane Vieira da; SANTOS, Franklin Noel dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2437036625902034; LEE, James Tony; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1693070833836566
The present study evaluates the vertical distribution of Neritina zebra in rocky outcrops in the lower and middle intertidal, intertidal as well as the horizontal distribution between rocky and clay substratas of an estuary in the Brazilian Amazon. The sampling areas are located in an oligohaline area in Icoaraci, Mosqueiro and Colares, at the coast of the State of Pará, Brasil. To evaluate the vertical distribution on orocky substrata, substratamolluscs were esampled in the lower and middle intertidal. intertidal In the lower mesolittoralmto, where clay and rocky substrata occur, substrataoccursamples were collected to verify the effect of the substrata on othe distribution of the mollusc.For each substrata and intertidal zonet zone, 22 replicates were randomly sampledusing a quadrant of 25x25cm² during the rainyrainy and dry season. An Analysis of Variance was seasonAAVancewasperformed to test (1) the effect of the intertidal zone and (2) the substrata onsubstratao the density of N. zebra. Analysis Athe vertical distribution results showed that in the lower zone, ,juvenile individuals show a higher density than in the middle zone, and an oppositeand anp pattern compared with adults appear to occur.Regarding the distribution on the different substrata,on the differentsubstrata results showed higher densities ono rocky substrate than onon clay substrata for young individuals, whereas no definite pattern was detected for adultss. This variability between the substrata and intertidal zones showed the influence of the seasons and the sampling sites. Icoaraci showed theshowedlowest densities, which can be associated to the anthropic activities in that area.
