O etnoconhecimento sobre a pesca e a biologia do acari-bodó (liposarcus pardalis) no município de Parintins-AM

Abstract

In the State of Amazonas, fishing is one of the most traditional economic activities in riverside communities. The present work aims to characterize the fishing and biology of the acari-bodó (Liposarcus pardalis) from the point of view of the traditional knowledge of riparians in the municipality of Parintins / AM. The study was carried out in the communities of Santo Antônio do Catispera, São Sebastião da Brasília, Paraná do Espírito Santo de Cima and São Sebastião do Boto in the Municipality of Parintins-AM. The questionnaires were applied and contained questions in a direct way, addressing the locality, age, sex, school level, reproduction, feeding, acari-bodó life cycle, and so on. From the interviews, the riverside people claim to have the traditional knowledge about the biology and the exclusive fishing of the acari-bodó, in which it can provide subsidies for governmental and non-governmental institutions that deal with regional fisheries management.
