Estuarine fishery |
artisanal (fishery) or small-scale: here we can include the condition prior to estuarine fishing at Lagoa dos Patos, when it was a profitable economic activity (REIS, 1992, p. 26; 1993, p. 111) |
2 |
Full time dedication |
Dedication to estuarine fishing is oftentimes integral (REIS, 1992, p. 29; 1993, p. 113) |
3 |
Isolation |
Torotama island is under geographic isolation condition (SANTOS, 2001, p. 40). |
4 |
Professional formation, technological development, yield |
Lack of fishery schools for the formation of fishing professionals is a barrier to fishery’s technological development and to yield increase in this sector (LIMA, 1999, p. 08). |
5 |
War mentality |
The fact the government agency responsible for fisheries management is one of the institutions that make part of FPL helps to reduce the possibility of war mentality (REIS; DINCAO, 2000, p. 593). |
6 |
Competitive, market oriented |
...it is important to consider fishermen’s competitive and Market-oriented view of fishing; this is more realistic that to assume that fishing is a communal, cooperative and altruistic process (REIS, 1992, p. 189). |
7 |
Predatory fishery, self-destruction, lack of awareness, stock reduction, illegal and destructive methods to the environment |
It is noticeable, by assessing predatory fishery, that fishermen have developed a self-destruction method, since they do not realize about their key participation in stocks’ reduction, due to the practice of illegal methods that destroy the fishery environment (LIMA, 1999, p. 75). |
Predatory practices, extermination chamber. |
These practices are so predatory that within each 1,000 shrimp that try to reach the ocean, only 2 succeed, (...), so that it would not be too much stating that Lagoa do Patos is becoming a pink-shrimp extermination chamber (CABRAL, 1997, p. 90). |
Broader view, respect relationship, solidarity to the medium |
It was decided to try to help them through courses and/or lectures (…) in order to make artisanal fishermen get a broader view that could help them put in place (…) a respect and solidarity relationship (CABRAL, 1997, p. 33). |

Low cultural level, lack of knowledge. |
...the user effective participation at the process in Patos Lagoon fisheries discussion is difficult because of the low cultural level of the fishermen community. Basic concepts about biology and species life cycles, economic and social aspects are unknown (REIS; DINCAO, 2000, p. 593). |
Artisanal fishing without evolution, rooted in traditions. |
(...) the structuring features of artisanal fishery remain almost unchanged for decades, without any significant evolution in its structure. It has been showing little dynamics and deep rooting in traditional means, besides fearing all that is new (LILJA, 1999, p. 74). |
Preservation consciousness, deeper knowledge, preserving and taking care of its natural habitat. |
School has sought to develop Environmental Education projects, so that it can provide preservation awareness to residents, because their survival is intrinsically related to Lagoa do Patos. A better local knowledge makes fishermen preserve their own natural habitat (SANTOS, 2001, p. 39). |

Built from white element |
Fishermen are almost fully built from the white element. Black people (...) would have dedicated themselves to grazing, charqueadas and farming (MARQUES, 1980, p. 14) |
