Abstract

Fishing plays a fundamental role in the socioeconomy of Amapá. However, there is a lack of information to support management proposals consistent with the reality of each location, especially areas impacted by the construction of hydroelectric plants. The study characterized socioeconomic conditions of fishermen and fishing carried out in Ferreira Gomes/AP. Information was collected through forms between 2014 and 2017 from 135 fishermen. Fishing is intended for consumption, sale, carried out by women, with low education an average of four children. The average monthly income is low and supplemented with other activities. Fishing is classified as artisanal. Most captured species belong to the genera Leporinus spp., Schizodon spp., Geophagus sp., Cichla sp. Artisanal fishing is practiced throughout the Araguari river channel, indicating the relevance of this water body as an important means of subsistence for the local community. Such characteristics can help in the development of sustainable fisheries management strategies.
