“…As mentioned by Haimovici et al (1996) and Lewis et al (1999) for Micropogonias furnieri, a distribution pattern related to water depth could be present in M. littoralis, larger individuals being found in deeper water and coming to coast for spawning. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the sexual proportion is more propitious for males for most of the year (Table 2).…”

“…The species prefers shallow water with sandy or muddy bottoms (Menezes & Figueiredo, 1980). The reproductive biology of the species is still unknown, despite its abundance in coastal waters and surf zones (Lewis et al, 1999). M. littoralis larvae are found in all seasons off the Paraná state coast, although they are more abundant during the spring (Godefroid et al, 2001).…”

= 32.120; DF=1; P<0.001). The smallest individual (total length) for captured animals was a male of 13 cm whereas the largest was a female of 46 cm. The minimum size (total length) for a mature female was 19.8 cm. The size at first maturation (L 50 ) was 23 cm and females larger than 27 cm spawned at least once (L 100 ). The reproductive period for M. littoralis is from September to March. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) showed a clear seasonal pattern. Mean ovarian weight was highest in November when it reached 5% of total body weight. Apparently, there is a size gradient for M. littoralis in the area. Larger individuals inhabit deeper water, and they move to the coast mainly for spawning.Menticirrhus littoralis é uma espécie importante para a pesca esportiva e comercial no sul do Brasil. O presente trabalho objetiva estudar a biologia reprodutiva da espécie nas águas costeiras do Rio Grande do Sul. As capturas foram efetuadas na plataforma de pesca de Cidreira (30º 08' S; 50º 11' W), localizada na costa nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, onde a pesca esportiva desenvolve-se ao longo de todo o ano. As capturas foram efetuadas exclusivamente por pescadores esportivos, utilizando linhas e anzóis de diferentes tamanhos e empregando iscas variadas. Um total de 807 indivíduos foi capturado entre junho de 1997 e maio 1998. A proporção sexual foi de 0,67 fêmea para cada macho (323 fêmeas e 484 machos; χ 2 c = 32,120; DF=1; P<0,001). O menor indivíduo capturado (comprimento total) foi um macho com 13 cm, enquanto que o maior foi uma fêmea com 46 cm. O menor tamanho (comprimento total) para uma fêmea madura foi 19,8 cm. O tamanho de primeira maturação (L 50 ) foi 23 cm e fêmeas maiores que 27 cm já reproduziram pelo menos uma vez (L 100 ). O período reprodutivo de M. littoralis é de setembro a março. O índice gonadossomático (GSI) apresenta uma clara tendência sazonal. O peso médio ovariano apresentou maiores valores em novembro, quando atingiu 5% do peso corporal. Aparentemente existe um gradiente de tamanho para M. littoralis na região, com indivíduos maiores ocorrendo em águas mais profundas e deslocando-se para águas mais rasas para desova.

Recreational fisheries in Brazil have increased in importance and attracted many foreign recreational fishers. The objectives of this article were to summarise the available data on Brazilian recreational fisheries, to discuss some of their features and to analyse how they are performing in different regions compared with international trends. A review of published and unpublished sources together with data from recreational fishing licences was used. The participation rate was low (0.9%). Overall, there was a high diversity of fish species, with the following species/group of species repeatedly reported: Menticirrhus spp., Centropomus spp., Cynoscion spp., and Micropogonias furnieri (marine/estuarine water), and Cichla spp., Hoplias malabaricus, and Piaractus mesopotamicus, together with the introduced Oreochromis niloticus and Coptodon rendalli (fresh water). The north‐eastern region differs from the other regions: fishing occurs mostly in marine waters and fishers acquire mainly shore‐based licences, have minimum fishing expenditures and rarely release fishes. There is no estimate of the total harvest or economic value. Conflicts include catch‐and‐release‐oriented freshwater and marine recreational fishers vs consumption‐oriented coastal fishers, tournament participants vs non‐participants, commercial fishers and other leisure activities, pollution, ports, species introductions and translocations, protected areas, and federal and state laws. Cases of smooth shifts from artisanal to recreational fishing were detected, possibly associated with changes in the societal relationship with natural resources.

Knowledge of recreational fisheries in Brazil is scarce and remains a critical issue to determine management actions. By adopting a collaborative approach that involved fishing guides, recreational fishing from the Iguape and Canan eia Lagoon Estuarine System (south-eastern Brazil) was assessed. During the study period (from April 2009 to March 2010), 341 fishing operations (boat day À1 ) were monitored. A total of 10 051 fish specimens of 26 families and at least 51 species were examined. The fat snook, Centropomus parallelus Poey, was the most commonly caught species representing 51% of the fish caught. Annual fishing effort was estimated at 272 859 anglerhours, and the mean catch-per-unit-effort was 3.42 fish boat À1 h À1 . Size structure of targeted species suggests that the populations are overexploited. The approach used in the study reinforces the importance of engaging different stakeholders in science and management and improving the communication among them.
