However, studies regarding the local ecological knowledge of workers in this activity are still incipient. In view of this, we have studied and explored the local ecological knowledge of artisanal fishers who specialize in the capture of fish for the aquarium trade in the middle part of the Negro River basin and investigated issues related to the ecological aspects of the fish species that are targeted by this trade in the region. Methods Therefore, we conducted semi-structured interviews and applied questionnaires to artisanal fishers of ornamental fish (N = 89), from the municipality of Barcelos, from January to April 2016. Results In total, 41 popular names were cited, which correspond to four ethnocategories and 10 families. The main species were Paracheirodon axelrodi (12.5%), Hemigrammus bleheri (8.3%), Ancistrus dolichopterus (6.4%), Symphysodon discus (5.3%), ...

O objetivo do presente estudo é realizar uma análise do perfil socioeconômico e do conhecimento tradicional sobre as arraias de água doce em relatos de pescadores no município de Barcelos, Amazonas. Foram entrevistados 54 pescadores que foram afetados por acidentes com arraias. Observou-se que 89,0% são do sexo masculino, demonstrando a manutenção das atividades de pesca que são passadas pelas famílias de crianças e jovens. A proporção de casos ocorreu com pescador com mais de 50 anos (62,2%). Há uma predominância do uso de puçá e rapiché que é um tipo de pesca ativa na qual não causa nenhum dano aos animais. Um total de 2,0% não identificou as cinco espécies presentes no rio Negro. Entre os sintomas apontados pelos pescadores após o acidente, foram citados dor, edema e, algumas vezes, necrose.

Oryza spp, or Wild rice as it is commonly known, is native to the floodplains of muddy rivers in the Amazon region. The aim of this study was to analyze the physical performance and the effects of dietary levels of Oryza spp. via the hematological parameters, total food intake, conversion efficiency, growth ratio and swimming performance of this fish. Diets containing 45% Oryza spp. induced the best performance in tambaqui. Diets containing 15% and 30% did not affect these indices, thus indicating that this amount of Oryza can be used as an alternative energy source for this important species within Brazilian aquaculture.
