This region is an important industrial pole and despite the great importance of the fishery and the imminence of an environmental disaster, there are not reported any studies deeped concerning the fishery and fish assemblage in the area. With the objective of describing the fishing activity and fish assemblage in Barcarena, landings were monitored in the market of Barcarena and Praia do Conde from December 2005 to November 2006. Moreover, the fishery boats were recorded using specialized log-books and trained personnel from the community. The index of relative abundance CPUE (kg/trip) was used to identify the most important species and their catch period, seasonality of the fleet, gears and fishing sites. It was registered 74 fishing boats and “barcos de pequeno porte” dominated. It was observed technological differences between the two landing sites, except when considered the length between categories. Fishing boats from the market show a greater crew, fishing days and mean catch by month. Fishing boats from Vila do Conde use mainly long lines whilst those from the market use mainly gill nets. During the year 2006, fishing boats from Vila do Conde operated from Ilha do Capim to “furo do Arrozal”, whilst market boats operated from Cutaju to Cotijuba. Fleet followed the catch period of the main species, dourada (Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii), South American silver croaker (Plagioscion squamosissimus), kumakuma (Brachyplatystoma filamentosum) and yellowfin river pellona (Pellona flavipinnis) and Amazon pellona (P. castelnaeana) grouped in yellowfin river pellona. Market fleet´s CPUE was 19 kg/trip and from Vila do Conde was 11 kg/trip. The catch period in the region is from October to May peaking in the first trimester. Trips operating with gill nets show greater CPUE when compared to long lines. The main species captured by gill nets is South American silver croaker and by long lines is dourada. CPUE from non-motorized boats is smaller than the motorized ones. Dourada was regular and abundant during all year for all study area. It was not observed differences between gears, trimesters and fishing sites. Kumakuma was most abundant form October to March, peaking in January and caught mainly by long lines and in Cutaju with 55 kg/trip. South American silver croaker was also regular and abundant during all year. This species was caught mainly with gill nets and in Carnapijó. Yellowfin river pellona occurred from October to May, peaking in October, caught mainly by the fleet of Vila do Conde with gill nets and the main fishing site is Estacamento. A total production in Barcarena was estimated in 200 tons generating R$ 724.431,00 for the city. Dourada contributed with 31% of total production and 46 % of the Gross revenue. October was the most productive month with 23% of the production and 15% of the Gross revenue. “Barcos de Pequeno Porte” contributed with 37% of the production and 41% of the gross revenue.porAcesso AbertoPeixePescaIctiofaunaEstuáriosVila do Conde - PABaía de Marajó - PABarcarena - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::RECURSOS PESQUEIROS E ENGENHARIA DE PESCA::RECURSOS PESQUEIROS DE AGUAS INTERIORES
