“…Fisherwomen are thus not only involved in housekeeping but also in generating income for families. GARCEZ and SÁNCHEZ-BOTERO (2005) found that in Rio Grande do Sul non-professionalized women play several different roles in fishing activities, such as preparing catch before sale; This is commonly observed in many other traditional fishing communities in Brazil: Amazonas (SILVA et al, 2014), Paraná (PÉREZ and GOMÉZ, 2014) Pernambuco (SANTOS, 2016), Rio Grande do Norte (MAIA and NETO, 2012;KNOX and FIRME, 2016); Rio Grande do Sul (ROSÁRIO, 2010), Piauí (SOUSA, 2010;AMORIM, 2010;NASCIMENTO, 2014;SANTOS et al, 2015). It is interesting to note that until the mid 80s fishing was an exclusively male activity (MOTTA-MAUÉS, 1993).…”

Fishing communities acquire a wealth of knowledge through their activities and interactions with the aquatic environment. This study characterized the ethnoichthyological knowledge, fishing tackle and fishing practices of a traditional fishing community in Miguel Alves, Piauí. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, ichthyological specimen collection, direct observations and photographic records. Gender and age groups were compared in terms of Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index of citations and correlation between age, time in the trade and citation abundance was tested using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. A total of 42 species were identified in six orders and 20 families with Pimelodidae, Cichlidae and Serrasalmidae being the most representative. The traíra (Hoplias malabaricus), barred sorubim (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum) and the piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) were the most frequently mentioned species. Gill nets, fish-hooks and cast nets were the most frequently used types of fishing tackle. Men and women had similar ShannonWiener Index values, while significant differences were found between youths and other age groups (adults and elderly). Age and time in the trade were weakly correlated with the number of cited fish species. This study shows that local knowledge was mainly acquired through traditional fishing activities.
