Abstract

Diversity of marine fishing tackles in Espírito Santo. During the year 2002, a survey of fishing activity was conducted at 36 landing points within 10 zones through out Espírito Santo State, southeastern Brazil. This study aimed to describe the fishing modalities employed along the coast, associating them with respective target species and landing points. The fishing gear registered was divided into ‘nets’ and ‘lines’. In the net division, the following assemblages were recorded: (i) seine nets, (ii) trawl nets, and (iii) gillnets. In the line division, the assemblages recorded were: (i) long-lines, and (ii) hand-lines. Among the modalities of fishing tackle, 97.5% were used by artisanal fishermen. Industrial fishing included only “Mexican double rig” trawl net operations. The great variety of modalities may be due to the diversity of target-species found in the region as well as the instability of the activity, leading fishermen to alternate fishing gears according to the different seasons.
