Abstract

The rich lobster fishery of the northeastern part of Brazil has been exploited since 1955. The older fishermen remember a certain Mr. Morgan introducing traps from Florida and starting to export lobsters to the US. The fishery was artisanal, using small canoe-shaped boats with sails, called canoas and sail-rafts called jangadas. (Interestingly enough, the word jangada originates in India and comes from the Malayalam word changgadam).
