Traditional Knowledge of the Fishermen of the Lower Juruá River: Understanding the Reproductive Patterns of the Region’s Fish Species

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The present study describes the knowledge system of riverside fishing communities in the lower Juruá river Extractivist Reserve in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, focusing on the understanding of the reproductive patterns of the region's fish species. The data were collected in 2008 and 2009 during the low water period, when the most experienced fishermen gather to count and harvest the pirarucu (Arapaima gigas).

“…In a study from Africa's Lake Tanganyika, Bulengela et al (2019) concluded that fishers' local knowledge of ecological conditions, fish availability and fishing pressures could benefit fisheries management. Braga and Rebêlo (2017) also found that fishers from the lower Juruá River presented an extensive and detailed knowledge of the reproductive behaviour of the region's fish species.…”

“…Many studies have demonstrated the value and usefulness of fishers’ ecological knowledge to research and management (Braga & Rebêlo, 2017; da Silva et al ., 2019; Nunes et al ., 2019), showing agreement between information derived from interviews and what was found with scientific methods. In a study from Africa's Lake Tanganyika, Bulengela et al .…”

“…O uso dos recursos naturais pode ser estudado com diversas abordagens dentro das etnociências, entre elas a etnobiologia e suas subdisciplinas (etnoictiologia, etnozoologia, etnoecologia etc. ), que, na produção do conhecimento científico, podem ser descritas como o estudo do conhecimento do mundo natural, de taxonomias, classificações e outras conceituações desenvolvidas por populações humanas a respeito da biologia (Posey 1987;Braga & Rebêlo 2014;J.

“…Todas as informações coletadas foram digitalizadas em bancos de dados, elaborado em planilhas eletrônicas (no programa Excel), sendo posteriormente analisadas com estatística descritiva, a fim de torná-las de fácil entendimento (González et al 2006). A forma de análise dos dados qualitativos obtidos nas entrevistas envolveu a categorização do conteúdo das respostas (Braga & Rebêlo 2014J. Silva & Braga 2016): os dados foram organizados em categorias descritivas; a interpretação envolveu a atribuição de significado à análise, explicandose os padrões encontrados e procurando-se por relacionamentos entre as dimensões descritivas.…”
