O uso da fauna cinegética e o consumo de proteína animal em comunidades rurais na Amazônia oriental: Reserva Extrativista Tapajós/Arapiuns Pará - Brasil. 2008. 71 f.

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Zoologia.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/4294Since the pre-history hunting and fishing have been the classic examples of men´s exploration of natural resources and, for some communities these are still the main source of food. However, the fishing and some products originating from the vegetable extractives have been the mainly goal of researches of the industrial market instead of studies of etnoconservation. In consequence of this institutional indifference and another intrinsic political factors just a little bit is known about the biology, the ecology, the etology and mainly about the intensity of exploration of the cynegetic fauna in tropics. There are not many studies about the food of traditional populations in Amazon mainly when is referring to the economic and nourishment importance of hunting and its relationship to the wildlife conservation. This 'Study of Case' was guided to accomplish the characterization of the cynegetic fauna explored by extractivist families of Aminã and Solimões communities (Tapajós/Arapiuns Extractivist Reserve) during the two season of the year (raining and drying season), and also showed the nourishment parameters of the protein indicatives of hunting activities for those families. The datas of relative abundance (biomass) of the species registered in both studied communities show that Dasyprocta leporine (cutia) was the more pressed specie. When examine the Indicative of Biomass (IB) between the sources of animal proteins and among the studied communities the conclusion is when the meal is made with hunting flesh although not often is more plenty than fishing. Referring to Indicative of Protein (IP), when observed among the several sources was verified when the meal is done with hunting flesh overwhelming all the other sources in terms of protein concentration then making the hunting flesh the most nutritious meal. The present study has the potential of contributing with important scientific information for the administration of the cynegetic resources and, consequently, to contribute with the definition of criterion and parameters for the launching of integrated handle projects of human occupations.porAcesso AbertoCaçaPescaFauna cinegéticaRiqueza de espéciesDietaPopulação ruralComunidade Solimões - PAComunidade Aminã - PAReserva Extrativista do Tapajós/Arapiuns - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::ZOOLOGIA::ZOOLOGIA APLICADA::UTILIZACAO DOS ANIMAIS
