The objective of this paper was to study angling from September, 2002 to September, 2004 in the Lobo-Broa Reservoir, Itirapina, SP (22° 15' S and 47° 49' W). Interviews (total 1,027) with sport fishers were accomplished in the three main fishing sites (Horto, Píer and Praia). This fishing was practiced with a simple fishing rod and reel, mainly in Horto, where the catches and fishing effort were higher. The catches were mainly composed of Cichlidae (Geophagus brasiliensis, Oreochromis niloticus, Tilapia rendalli and Cichla monoculus). We tried to determine which factors (fishing sites, type of baits and season) and the covariate fishing effort, expressed in number of fishing rods multiplied by fishing time, would affect catches, using a 3 way-ANCOVA. The final model showed that only fishing sites and effort determined the captures of sporting fishing in the reservoir. Some measures for managing fishing practices are discussed.Keywords: sport fishing, cpue, ANCOVA, reservoir fishing management. As pescarias esportivas no reservatório Lobo-Broa (Itirapina, SP, Brasil)Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar as pescarias esportivas, entre setembro de 2002 e setembro de 2004 na Represa do Lobo-Broa, Itirapina, SP (22° 15' S e 47° 49' W). Foram realizadas 1.027 entrevistas junto aos pescadores esportivos nos três principais locais (Horto, Píer e Praia). Estas pescarias foram praticadas com vara de pescar simples e com molinete, principalmente no Horto, onde as capturas e esforço pesqueiro foram maiores. A captura foi composta principalmente de Ciclídeos (Geophagus brasiliensis, Oreochromis niloticus, Tilapia rendalli e Cichla monoculus). Buscou-se detectar que fatores (locais de pescarias, tipos de isca e sazonalidade) e se a covariável esforço de pesca, expresso em termos de número de varas de pesca multiplicado pelo tempo de pesca, afetavam as capturas, usando uma ANCOVA trifatorial. O modelo final mostrou que apenas os locais de pesca e o esforço de pesca determinaram as capturas das pescarias esportivas na represa. Algumas medidas de manejo para as pescarias foram discutidas.Palavras-chave: pescarias esportivas, cpue, ANCOVA, manejo de recursos pesqueiros.
The disastrous 2017 fire season in Portugal lead to widespread recognition of the need for a paradigm shift in forest and fire management. We focused our study on Alvares, a parish in central Portugal which had 60% of its area burned in 2017, with a large record of historical. We evaluated how different fuel treatment strategies can reduce wildfire hazard in Alvares, through i) a fuel break network with different priorities and ii) random fuel treatments resulting from stand-level management intensification. To assess this, we developed a stochastic fire simulation system (FUNC-SIM) that integrates uncertainties in fuel distribution over the landscape. If the landscape remains unchanged, Alvares will have large burn probabilities in the north, northeast, and center-east areas of the parish that are very often associated with high fire line intensities. The different fuel treatment scenarios decreased burned area between 12.1-31.2%, resulting from 1%-4.6% increases in annual treatment area, and reduced 10%-40% the likelihood of wildfires larger than 5000 ha. On average, simulated burned area decreased 0.22% per each ha treated, and effectiveness decreased with increasing area treated. Overall, both fuel treatment strategies effectively reduced wildfire hazard and should be part of a larger, holistic and integrated plan to reduce the vulnerability of the Alvares parish to wildfires.
