The main objective of this work was to monitor, for the first time, the landings of the seafood caught in the communities of Jaqueiral, Barreta Island, Pescaria Island, Rio do Campo and Timbuca Island. The information was collected directly in the field with the fishermen through semi-structured questionnaires, applied in the ports of the communities, at the time of the landing of the fish. A total of 104 questionnaires were applied monthly in the communities during one full year, between October 2017 and September 2018. Data showed that most fishermen perform their fishing practices individually or in pairs, using fishing gears such as a gill nets (e.g. “redes de emalhe”) or traps (e.g. “armadilha tipo manzúa”), operating from small wooden boats (“canoa de madeira”). The main form of propulsion used by the small boats is a pulp engine, powered by gasoline. Some species are more frequently captured, such as mullet (Mugil Sp) and siri (Callinectes spp), but the other species are also economically important. This study presents estimates of the catch per unit effort for each community involved in the survey, evidencing the financial net income obtained with the fishing activity. The data obtained from this study is fundamental for the planning and implementation of adequate public policies in the artisanal fishing sector.
