Spatial patterns of fishing fleets on the Southeastern Brazillian Bight

Abstract: ABSTRACT. This study aimed to determine the different usage strategies of the marine environment by fishing fleets landing in São Paulo based on an analysis of the spatial distribution patterns indicated in 337,482 trips between 2010 and 2013. The sea region off the Brazilian coast between 23º00'S and 28º00'S (Southeastern Brazilian Bight) was divided into six depth strata. For each stratum, the number of trips, effective fishing days, catch and number of jobs were estimated. The stratum from 0 to 20 m depth h… Show more

“…In addition, despite fishery activities being concentrated on the inner and middle shelf (Imoto et al, 2016), including inside the less restrictive protected areas (Carneiro et al, 2013), exploration of deeper zones has been increasing in the past decades (Pincinato and Gasalla, 2019). According to Imoto et al (2016), great amounts of demersal catches were obtained by industrial fleets in those regions, raising the threat over species that use the archipelago seasonally for feeding or for mating, while also using the surrounding fished area. Currently, fishing of threaten elasmobranchs is forbidden or only allowed for subsistence in Brazilian waters (i.e., species classified as VU) (MMA, 2014).…”

“…Obtaining knowledge on the ecology of these species is crucial since fishing pressure and habitat degradation on coastal and inner shelf regions have disturbed the ichthyofauna, resulting in population depletion, diversity loss, and ecosystem unbalancing (Imoto et al, 2016;Dias et al, 2017;Prado et al, 2019;Rolim et al, 2019;Trevizani et al, 2019). Thus, the present study aimed to assess the functionality and effectiveness of the two MPAs to assist the decision making process that involves the conservation of demersal elasmobranchs.…”

“…Macrodon atricauda is an important fishing resource in the southern and southeastern Brazilian regions, and is captured with bottom trawls, pair trawls, and gillnet (Fsicher et al 2011;Cardoso and Haimovici, 2014;Imoto et al 2016).…”
