Abstract

Artisanal fishing has guaranteed food and nutritional security for millions of fishing communities in Brazil. It is estimated that almost 70 per cent of the fish produced in the country comes from artisanal fishing. Besides economic importance, working men and women in small-scale fishing have, over the years, developed a list of ‘know-hows’ and ‘how-to’s’ which represent cultural elements of indigenous and Afro–Brazilian roots, associated to lessons learned from a deep relationship with nature over the years.
