Using a multidisciplinary approach, 20 fishery production systems were identified, with distinct characteristics regarding technology and purpose. The characteristics of each system were classified into five dimensions (ecological, economic, social, technological and political). Multidimensional scaling revealed that some of these 20 systems have greater similarities. Thus, a total of 10 groups were identified.engAcesso AbertoPesca artesanalSistema de produçãoPará - EstadoMaranhão - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraMultidisciplinary approach to identification of fishery production systems on the northern coast of BrazilAbordagem multidisciplinar para a identificação dos sistemas de produção pesqueira na costa Norte do BrasilArtigo de Periódico
