Foraging Strategies of Artisanal Fishers in a Brazilian Reservoir.
Ecological models derived from Optimal Foraging Theory have been used to understand the decision-making processes and optimization of artisanal fisheries. However, many studies do not consider the influence of fishing techniques or seasonality on foraging strategies. We analyzed the optimization str...

However, many studies do not consider the influence of fishing techniques or seasonality on foraging strategies. We analyzed the optimization strategies and decision-making processes of the fishers at a Brazilian reservoir. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires involving 65 artisanal fishers, and daily catches were monitored in July/2015 and January/2016. Fishing techniques and seasonality influenced the fishers’ behavior. The fishery activities monitored here were partially or totally consistent with the predictions of the Central-Place Foraging model, but due to the complexity of these activities, other factors also influenced the decision-making of individual fishers. Furthermore, the adoption of strategies that involve “non-ideal” behaviors may be advantageous for the fishers in the context of their individual necessities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
