The present study analyzed the fishing and the reproductive aspects, as the structure in length and weight of the population, the weight-length relation, the average length of first gonadal maturation (L50), the sex ratio and the period of breeding in the area of influence of the Tucurui HEP (upstream in the reservoir and the downstream). Were analyzed temporal series of landing data (2000 to 2008 period) and interviews from July to October 2010 in the three areas of Tucurui HEP, with dealt information about the location and characterization of the fishery and fishing widget. For the study about reproductive aspects, the specimens analyzed were collected monthly, from January 2006 to December 2007, in the reservoir and downstream of the dam. A H. unimaculatus was landed in three areas influenced by the Tucurui HEP during all year, being the upstream responsible for the highest production. There is statistically significant seasonality throughout the year, characterizing production peaks, being the upstream in May, June and October, January and from May to June in the reservoir, and the downstream from May to August. The main locations for the capture of the schools are the edges and beaches, being the main capture procedure the gillnets. The principal boarding port is located in Itupiranga city, where is the HEP Tucurui upstream. Among the fish caught in the reservoir (429) and the downstream (545), the biggest variation occurred in the reservoir (12.5 to 29 cm of total length). The weight-length relation has presented negative allometry in both sub-areas. The L50 considered for grouped sexes was 27.6 cm in reservoir and 22.2 cm the downstream. The sex ratio for the total samples was favorable females in both areas, being 1.6 and 1.9 in reservoir and downstream, respectively. The reproductive period was recorded in March (raining season) in the reservoir and the downstream from November to March (periods transactional dry/rainy and rainy). Considering that the specie occurs in all the HEP Tucurui areas and the tendency of annual production are increasing continually the upstream, the need to implement enhanced local infrastructure and measures for development in order to maintain the sustainability of fishery.porAcesso AbertoPeixeReprodução animalPescaJatuarama escama grossaHemiodus unimaculatusCrescimento (Biologia)Primeira maturação gonodalUsina Hidrelétrica de Tucuruí - PATucuruí - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::RECURSOS PESQUEIROS E ENGENHARIA DE PESCA::RECURSOS PESQUEIROS MARINHOS
