Caribbean red snapper fishing performance indicators in Brazilian amazon shelf: Is it the beginning of the end of a fishing system?

Red snapper fishing (Lutjanus purpureus) is an important fishing activity for the Brazilian economy due to its export. The scarcity of up-to-date information on this system's ecology, economy, and social characteristics contributes to inefficient management. We analyze whether the commercial snapper fishery on the Amazon continental shelf is socioecologically sustainable.

Complementary Role of Fishers' Experiential Knowledge to Conventional Science in Terms of Species-Specific Biological Traits and Population Changes in Azorean Waters.

Combining scientific information with fishers' perceptions may be a robust approach for directing decision-makers working with marine ecosystems. This is particularly the case when baseline data on a vulnerable stock are poor, as the integration of fishers' experiential knowledge can help fill data gaps, as well as inform legitimate management actions, and empower fishing communities in resource management. This study aimed to analyze fishers' knowledge regarding the biology (reproduction, growth, and maximum size) and temporal changes in the abundance and size of six commercially important marine species (red porgy , veined squid , blue jack mackerel , blackspot seabream , blackbelly rosefish , and European conger ) in the Azores small-scale communities.

Life History and Fishing Aspects of the Deep-Sea Silver Scabbardfish in the Azores.

Deep-sea fisheries are of important economic value. Therefore, it is necessary to generate biologically and ecologically based fishing plans to make this fishery sustainable over time. The silver scabbardfish, , is a worldwide-distributed demersal fish, commercially exploited in the Azores.

Growth Parameters and Mortality Rates Estimated for Seven Data-Deficient Fishes from the Azores Based on Length-Frequency Data.

Given the scarcity of information suitable for stock assessments, the growth and mortality of seven exploited marine fishes in Azorean waters were estimated based on length-frequency data. The studied species were , , , , , spp. and .

Demographics and Yield-Per-Recruit Assessment of the Vulnerable Spiny Lobster in the Azores-Implications for Conservation and Fisheries Management.

The spiny lobster has been intensively harvested across its range and is generally considered overfished, with global landings declining sharply from an average of 820 t in 1960-79 to 385 t in 2000-19. Despite its economic and ecological importance, limited information is available to perform stock assessments and make robust management decisions. In this study, demographics and exploitation levels of were determined from coastal areas of the Azores, and the relevance of these data for conservation planning was discussed.
