Fishing on the Sergipe State coast is usually daily but depends on the tide. The main fishing landing port of the municipality of Aracaju is the Aracaju Fishing Terminal (T.P. Aracaju), located in the city center and responsible for 85% of the fishing landings. Data on fishing landings are essential tools for fisheries management, including caught species, fleet size, fishing gear and marketing. Therefore, this study’s aim was to analyze the data collected in the monitoring years from 2010 until 2016 at the T.P. Aracaju observing the developments of fish landings. The Fisheries Landings Monitoring Project - PMPDP specifically monitored and recorded the data at the Terminal Pesqueiro de Aracaju. The results showed that during the monitoring years the landings of fish from 92 vessels, locally called “lancha”, were recorded, of which 50 vessels originated from T.P. Aracaju and the other 42 vessels from other municipalities of Sergipe and other states of Brazil. The total annual production of landed fish was 426t in 2010, 567t in 2011, 504t in 2012, 761t in 2013, 910t in 2014, 822 in 2015 and 737 in 2016. Annual revenue ranged from BRL 2,985,582.00 in 2010 to BRL 8,225,128.7 in 2016, demonstrating that the sale of fish varied little in the years monitored. The work’s results show the real production landed in T.P. Aracaju, on which public policies of fisheries management in the state of Sergipe are based.
This study aimed to carry out a diagnosis of the catching and of the processing of aratu meat, called “catado,” and to propose improvements for its processing. This fishing resource, important for the fishing communities in the Brazilian Northeast, generates employment and income for many artisanal fisherwomen (marisqueiras). Yet, the production of “catado” is carried out in a rudimentary way, as for instance in comunidade Preguiça (a municipality of Indiaroba), a typical fishing community on the Sergipe coast. Therefore, a survey was carried out for the preparation of a participatory diagnosis in order to identify the stages of the process, from the preparation of the marisqueiras for the capture to the realization of the "catado," and the problems related to the processing that compromise the end product quality. Some steps were proposed, such as improving hygiene during the preparation and the use of vacuum packaging, with its own logo, in order to identify the “catado” of aratu processed in that community.
The editorial portrays the ten years of Actapesca Magazine, currently Actapesca News. Over these ten years, 166 studies were published, involving 402 researchers from 73 institutions, distributed in 19 states of the country. Actapesca has fulfilled its mission in this time and will continue on this victorious journey for many years by the dedication of its editors and the trust placed in it by many notable researchers.
Artisanal fishing of aratu occurs throughout the northeastern coast, but their total catch is only estimated for three states, Pernambuco, Sergipe and Bahia. The aratu fishing is intense and few studies on the biology of the species, population dynamics and socioeconomic has been published. Therefore, this work aimed to characterize the population structure and reproductive aspects of G. cruentata, landed in the communities of Cajazeiras and Pontal, in Sergipe. The collections were made monthly when the new moon, from March 2015 to February 2016. The results showed that the carapace width (LC) of the animals ranged in Cajazeiras 25 to 53.8 mm and 59.6 mm in Pontal. Cajazeiras and Pontal showed different patterns for the percentage of females and males, considering the frequency of carapace width. Females were predominant in 26-48 mm class in Cajazeiras and in Pontal from 28 to 44 mm. The males were the majority in the longest lengths in Cajazeiras and Pontal, the result indicates that the males dominate in the longest lengths. Mature female maturation was found throughout the study with greater frequency in September in both mangroves studied. The estimated result of the wide average carapace at first maturity of females in Cajazeiras indicated value of 33.2 mm and males equal to 36.5 mm; Pontal for the female values was 31.2 mm and 36.8 mm male.
