“…The reef balls are ideal for creating habitats for several marine species (fish, lobsters, oysters) and also to prevent industrial fishing (Sherman et al 2002, Young et al 2012. Lima et al (2018) showed that fishermen on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro have used the area where the ARs were deployed as an ancillary fishing area to capture some target species, using fishing gears that best suit the characteristics of that area as bottom lines and hook, longlines and surface gillnets.…”

“…Some species are caught 30 km from the coast and have a high commercial value (some primary fish) due to their quality and size, besides the higher fishing cost in remote regions. In this context, the implementation of the ARs resulted in benefit to the fishers and these structures emerge as an ancillary fishing area to capture some commercial species as C. parallelus, C. undecimalis, R. porosus and R. lalandii (Lima et al 2018). After the implantation of ARs the local fishermen captured some target species closer the coastal zone with fewer inputs.…”

“…These modules were installed to increase the abundance, biomass of fishing resources and improve the artisanal fishing rates (Santos et al 2010, Santos & Zalmon 2015. Over the years, the local fishermen have used the area where the ARs were deployed as an ancillary fishing area to capture some target species (Lima et al 2018). However, there is little information about the species caught in these artificial structures or in other fishing areas used for artisanal fishermen in the northern Rio de Janeiro.…”

The objective of this study is to describe the ethnoecological aspects, valorization, and commercialization of target species caught by artisanal fishers on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. The data were obtained through semi-structured interviews conducted with 60 fishers from the fishing community of Guaxindiba (21°29'S, 41°00'W), which is associated with the Z-1 fishers' colony. Eighty-nine species were cited by the fishers and 44.1% are important commercial fish in the region. The fishers cited five distinct zones used to fish: border zone (68 species), estuary (41 spp.), artificial reef (27 spp.), "malacacheta" (24 spp.), and open ocean (10 spp.). The fishery resources were classified according to their gastronomic and economic characteristics: primary fish (35 spp.), secondary fish (32 spp.), mixed fish (10 spp.), discarded fish (7 spp.), and fish used as bait (5 spp.). The price of the target species increases along the production chain due to the greater number of people involved, processing costs, and improvement of the product. The data from this study can contribute to local fisheries management and point out to the use of artificial reefs in the maintenance of fishery resources in northern Rio de Janeiro.

“…Os pescadores citaram várias espécies de peixes ósseos como alvos preferenciais da pesca praticada na região (Tabela 2). Esses recursos são descritos como espécies demersais que vivem no entorno de RAM's; além de espécies pelágicas que visitam as áreas do entorno em busca de presas (CLARK et al, 1997;LIMA et al, 2018).…”

No município de Guarapari, estado do Espírito Santo (ES), a pesca artesanal é praticada ao longo da linha de costa. Desta maneira, o objetivo deste estudo é descrever a atividade pesqueira praticada no município de Guarapari, a partir da percepção de pescadores artesanais. Entrevistas etnográficas foram realizadas com aplicação de questionários semi-estruturados, individualmente, por meio de diálogo com pescadores que atuam na região (n= 80). A obtenção de informações também ocorreu por meio de observações participante e direta, anotadas em diário de campo. Os dados foram organizados em categorias, analisados pelo método da Triangulação e estatística descritiva. Todos os entrevistados são homens com idade entre 27 e 77 anos, apresentam baixa escolaridade e o tempo de atuação na pesca varia entre 3 e 60 anos. Segundo os pescadores, os artefatos linha, rede de espera, arpão e espinhel são os mais utilizados. A atividade pesqueira é desenvolvida ao longo do litoral deste município, principalmente na área próxima às Três Ilhas, Ilhas Rasas e Ilha Escalvada. Na percepção dos entrevistados, a pesca é um dos principais setores da economia local.

Ecological succession of benthic organisms on niche-type artificial reefs

et al. 2020

As part of efforts to restore fishery resources and recover damaged coastal ecosystems, artificial reefs are often anchored on the seafloor in coastal zones, to provide new habitats for marine organisms. The aim of the study was to describe the structure of a community of benthic invertebrates colonising a niche-type artificial reef (AATN in Spanish). Nine structures were anchored at depths of 16 ± 1.5 m for 99 weeks (22 months) in the Area of Benthic Resource Management and Exploitation (AMERB) in coastal waters of the Region of Bio Bio, Chile. The results showed that, at 3 months from submersion of the NTAR, much of the artificial substrate remained bare and there were only low levels of specimens of Balanus sp. barnacles, showing mean coverage of 11.26%, and even lower proportions of Rhodophyta, with mean coverage of 0.34%. At 6 months, the presence of hydrozoans was seen, decreasing the coverage of the barnacles, which was aided further at 8 months with the arrival of barnacle predatory invertebrates. At 8 months, new benthic invertebrates appeared and competed for the substrate. These included sponges and algae. At 99 weeks, the hydrozoans dominated the substrate, followed by barnacles and Rhodophyta, the first colonising organisms, leading to colonisation by motile macro-invertebrates, mainly consisting of crustaceans, echinoderms and molluscs. The AATN artificial system provides an ideal substrate for the development of early ecological succession and the use of this technology should be feasible in the recovery process of habitat damaged by anthropogenic actions and climate change.
