Abstract

In Bragança, in coastal communities RESEX marine Caeté-Taperaçu, called village of fishermen and village of Boniface, ‘curral’ fishing is one of the main economic activities for these localities. The research investigated the ‘knowledge-doings’ used in the construction of these trap fishing and how they are passed on and recovered over time. Semistructured questionnaires were applied among the fishermen trying to understand the “knowledge-doings” used in the construction and implementation of “currais” fishing, and the perceptions of these fishermen about these kind of fishery. Initiation in the activity still occurs during childhood with the parents. Socialization generation to generation of doings knowledge by experience is a basic characteristic of traditional knowledge. The construction of a “curral” fishing is made in stages, and only for expert fishermen, hired specifically for this purpose. The most worrying result observed is present in the very speech of the subjects fishermen of this research , stating that the corral fishing is in decline due to the large exploration of other fishing gear on fisheries of the estuary resources , evidenced by the decrease in amount of fish caught in corrals in recent years.
