Abstract: BackgroundAlthough fishers’ knowledge has been recently considered into management programmes, there is still the need to establish a better understanding of fishers’ perceptions and cognition. Fishers can provide novel information on the biology and ecology of species, which can potentially be used in the management of fisheries. The knowledge fishers have and how they classify nature is empirically based. It is common, for example, to observe that fishers’ taxonomy is often represented by the generic level, … Show more

“…Information on food chain and feeding habits was also provided, with LEK as a source among other relevant biological information [39-43]. This is especially important where there is nonexistent information, or a few sources of information, on fish, such as on the coast of Brazil [18]: there are certain species for which the only source of knowledge is LEK, such as Rhinobatos percellens, Sphoeroides dorsalis , and Dasyatis guttata . It is important to note that information is lacking for important target species and consumed species from both the coastal and continental waters of Brazil [9,10].…”

“…These results are very important, especially considering that dusky grouper, Epinephelus marginatus , is a flagship species for conservation that reaches large sizes and lives up to 60 years, with many MPAs (marine protected areas) established in Mediterranean waters [61]. It is a very important food source for coastal communities that have livelihoods dependent on fishing [9,18], and it is an ecological and cultural keystone species [10].…”
