The Atlantic goliath grouper, Epinephelus itajara, is a large-sized coastal fish that has been heavily overfished, mainly through spearfishing. In order to assess historical catches of the species, we interviewed spearfishers along three generations (young, middle-aged and old) in traditional fishing village Arraial do Cabo, southeastern Brazil. We identified systematic significant decline weight largest grouper caught number individuals on best day's catch spearfisher generations. Today,...
The Atlantic goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) is a critically endangered reef fish that has suffered from overfishing. In Brazil, the species been under fishing ban since 2002; however, there are no evidences of population recovery. this context, data to help improve management programs sorely needed. We assessed fisheries landings and interviewed key informants investigate fishing, habitat use, occurrence in Abrolhos Bank, eastern Brazil. mangroves, longline was main gear used catch...
Abstract Background Groupers are a vulnerable but economically important group of fish, especially for small-scale fisheries. We investigated catches and local ecological knowledge (LEK) diet, habitat, past fishing experiences. Methods Landings, prices, interviews, restaurants demand two species, Epinephelus marginatus (dusky grouper) morio (red grouper), were registered. Results visited 74 markets 79 sites on the coast Brazil in 2017–2018, we interviewed 71 fishers: Bahia (NE), Rio de...
Abstract Increasing evidence has revealed that different fisheries have collapsed around the world. This is generally more evident in countries can maintain long‐term research and monitoring. When monitoring data are not available, alternative approaches to assess trends be used, such as local ecological knowledge of fishers. To investigate decadal changes small‐scale fishers' was evaluated at four sites Brazil: Porto Seguro, Prado, Alcobaça, Caravelas. A fisher–fish network weighted by...
Introduction: Reintroduction is a procedure used to reestablish wild animal populations. Objective: The present study aimed evaluate the success of reintroducing Amazona aestiva and investigate whether abiotic factors (temperature, humidily, luminosity) interfere with search for food supplementation in feeders installed release area. Methods: Pre-release evaluations were initiated 59 Amazonas spp. Tests run stool parasitological tests, leukocytes, flight capacity, level animal-human...
Community-based co-management strategy has been implemented in coastal and marine protected areas to reconcile resource use with biodiversity conservation, foster governance through the participation of multiple actors like governments, social civil organizations, traditional users. How engage collaboration will determine specific network structures that can facilitate or hinder different processes. The analysis evidence presence capital leadership, both necessary achieve collective action...
This study presents the first considerations and observations of occurrence octopus Callistoctopus sp. on coast Brazil. Local ecological knowledge (LEK) citizen science, used as a research tool, were fundamental to confirm presence delimit distribution this species Brazilian coast. In all, 187 interviews conducted with fishers in 17 localities surrounding six marine protected areas, between March 2018 August 2019. During development work, number volunteer participants significantly...
Studies that compile local ecological knowledge (LEK) on some of the various species living beings observe biological data and are notably fundamental for effectively managing fisheries, supporting management strategies protected areas, conservation, other factors. In this study, ethnoecological approaches were used to focus octopus Callistoctopus furvus (Gould, 1852), recently re-described re-presented academic community more than a century after its discovery. The LEK fishers from...
Over the last decade, there has been a change in way protected areas are managed across world, as their management gradually ceases to be sole responsibility of government and is being shared with civil society. This study evaluates effectiveness, according managers boards 20 marine (MPAs) on coast Brazil, using Rapid Assessment Prioritization Protected Area Management (RAPPAM) methodology. There were differences perspectives boards; 8 MPAs showed significant difference effectiveness values,...
Monitoring surveys provide data needed to assess ecosystem conditions in places where bioinvasion occurs. The collection of by volunteer researchers (citizen science) is an alternative for scientists and research agencies that lack information but do not have sufficient financial resources. objective this study was evaluate marine monitoring using voluntary recreational scuba diving identify invasive exotic species at eight sites distributed between the north Ilha Grande municipality Angra...

Os recifes de coral estão entre os ecossistemas mais biodiversos do planeta sendo também um dos ameaçados, dentre as principais causas ameaça está o crescente turismo desordenado. O Brasil possui distribuídos ao longo sua costa nordeste, onde localizado Parque Natural Municipal Recife Fora, no município Porto Seguro (Bahia). objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a distribuição espacial turistas na Piscina Visitação Parque. Uma câmera fotográfica configurada para registrar uma foto cada minuto da...
The fishes of the Lutjanidae family are widely distributed throughout Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans have relevant commercial importance.Yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus) is a targeted species in smallscale fishery northeastern coast Brazil, notably for handline fishing.We used local ecological knowledge (LEK) three generations fishers from Ilhéus (southern Bahia State, Brazil) to evaluate perception weight, best day capture relative abundance species.More experienced captured...
Stable isotope analysis is an approach that allows inferring feeding ecology and trophic structure of populations, especially for species are difficult to observe in natural habitats, such as marine turtles. This study investigated the niche breadth adult juvenile green sea turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) through δ 15 N 13 C values carapace scutes. During 2017 2018, tissues were collected from juveniles a area southeastern Brazil n = 60) adults nesting northeastern Brazil, at Fernando de Noronha...
