As pescadoras artesanais do litoral de Pernambuco enfrentam os impactos das indústrias, do derramamento de petróleo e da pandemia de covid-19, conformando uma sindemia que agrava as vulnerabilidades socioe-conômicas, ambientais e sanitárias. Objetivou-se demonstrar que estratégias de comunicação e divulgação científica, como a cartilha "Saúde das mulheres das águas" e o documentário O mar que habita em mim, são importantes por promoverem a democratização do conhecimento. Trata-se de pesquisa-ação do tipo etnográfica para identificar aspectos do trabalho e da vida. Participaram 34 pescadoras, mediante grupos focais, oficina de fluxograma laboral, vivência do trabalho da pesca, análise e produção de estratégias. Esses materiais demonstram a relação saúde doença no trabalho da pesca enfatizando narrativas sobre deter-minação social da saúde. As estratégias comunicativas provocaram interesse da sociedade, promoveram debate e contribuíram para a consciência de profissionais/gestores de saúde sobre os povos das águas e as situações nos territórios.

Artisanal fisherwomen of Pernambuco face the impacts of the industries, of an oil spill and of the covid-19 pandemic, forming a syndemic that aggravates socioeconomic, environmental and health vulnerabilities. The objective was to demonstrate that scientific communication and dissemination strategies, such as the booklet "Saúde das mulheres das águas" and the documentary O mar que habita em mim, promote knowledge. This is an ethnographic type of action research to identify aspects of work and life. A total of 34 artisanal fisherwomen participated, in focus groups, labor flowchart workshop, experience of fishing work, analysis and production of strategies.

Afro-Colombian way of life and fishing territorialities in Chocó (Colombia) / Modo de vida afrocolombiano y territorialidades pesqueras en el chocó (colombia)

RESUMEN El Pacífico colombiano es un territorio-región ocupado en su mayoría por comunidades negras que tienen un modo de vida tradicional basado en la pesca, la agricultura y el extractivismo tradicional. Sin embargo, con la llegada de las lógicas desarrollistas, este modo de vida comienza a sufrir transformaciones que colocan las territorialidades tradicionales en confrontación con otras lógicas externas a la comunidad. Aquí se pretende (1) caracterizar el modo de vida tradicional afrocolombiano, especialmente en su relación simbólica con la pesca artesanal, (2) identificar territorialidades pesqueras y (3) analizar los conflictos territoriales presentes en Bahía Solano. Para eso, se hizo trabajo de campo con observación participante, reportes etnográficos, fotodocumentación, entrevistas con guión semiestructurado y cartografía social participativa, con el objetivo de brindar este aporte, desde una perspectiva geográfica e interdisciplinaria que aún está ausente en las investigaciones acerca de esta región. Se observa que con la inserción de las comunidades en lógicas de producción conectadas con el "afuera", más rentables como el turismo, el narcotráfico y la pesca industrial, se superponen nuevas territorialidades. En las territorialidades nuevas y en las tradicionales el elemento "mar" es necesario para la reproducción de los modos de vida, especialmente en lo material, a través del trabajo y la alimentación.

ABSTRACT The Colombian Pacific is a territory-region occupied mostly by black communities that have a traditional way of life based on fishing, agriculture and traditional extractivism. However, with the arrival of developmental logics, this way of life begins to undergo transformations that place traditional territorialities in confrontation with other logics external to the community. Therefore, the objective here is (1) to characterize the traditional Afro-Colombian way of life, especially in its symbolic relationship with artisanal fishing, (2) to identify fishing territorialities and (3) to analyze the territorial conflicts present in Bahía Solano. For this, fieldwork was carried out with participant observation, ethnographic reports, photodocumentation and interviews with a semi-structured script, with the aim of providing a contribution from an interdisciplinary perspective, still absent in research in this region. It was observed that with the insertion of communities into "external" and more profitable productive logics, such as tourism, drug trafficking and industrial fishing, new territorialities are superimposed. In these new territorialities, as in the more traditional ones, the sea is a necessary element for the reproduction of the Afro-Colombian way of life, especially through work and food.

Metal-organic Framework Immobilized Enzyme and Its Application in Screening of Enzyme Inhibitors of Traditional Chinese Medicine：A Review / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Enzymes are widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical industries because of their advantages of high efficiency and specificity. However， the shortcomings of the free enzymes， such as poor stability and difficulty in recycling， limit their application. Therefore， the immobilization and application of enzymes have become one of the research hotspots. The selection of the immobilization carriers is a critical step in the process of enzyme immobilization. Metal-organic frameworks（MOFs）， a kind of porous materials， are formed by the coordination of metal ions or metal clusters with organic ligands. As an emerging immobilization carrier， its advantages such as high porosity， strong stability， and surface modifiability make it ideal for immobilized enzyme carriers. By immobilizing the free enzyme on MOFs， the above mentioned deficiencies of the free enzymes can be effectively solved， which greatly broaden the applicable condition. Ligand fishing is a method to find receptor-specific ligands from complex components， which has the advantages of high efficiency， simple sample pretreatment and high specificity. The MOF-enzyme complex formed by enzyme immobilization can act as a "fishing rod" for ligand fishing， which can screen out the targets from the complex system of components. The complex chemical composition and various active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） make the ligand fishing technology to play a big role in the screening of enzyme inhibitors from TCM. And the screened enzyme inhibitors are expected to be further developed into the lead compounds with good efficacy and low adverse effects， so the immobilized enzymes of MOFs have a wide application in the screening of active ingredients from TCM. Based on this， this paper summarized the methods of immobilized enzymes of MOFs in recent years， analyzed the characteristics， advantages and disadvantages of each method， and summarized the laws of preparation conditions and mechanisms. Meanwhile， the application and future development of immobilized enzymes of MOFs in the field of enzyme inhibitor screening from TCM were also summarized and prospected， with a view to providing a reference for the development of natural ingredients and the modernization of TCM.

Processos críticos protetores e destrutivos no trabalho das pescadoras artesanais do litoral Pernambucano, Brasil / The protective and destructive critical processes of female labor in small-scale fishing in coast Pernambuco, Brazil

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar os processos críticos, protetores e destrutivos do trabalho de 34 mulheres das águas nos municípios de Cabo de Santo de Agostinho e Ipojuca (PE), de fevereiro de 2021 a agosto de 2022. As etapas do processo de trabalho foram sistematizadas pelo fluxograma do trabalho e organizadas na matriz de processos críticos de Breilh. Os processos destrutivos, no domínio geral, foram: injustiça e vulnerabilização socioambiental como modelo de desenvolvimento econômico, o Complexo Industrial Portuário de Suape, o desastre-crime de petróleo ocorrido em 2019, a pandemia de COVID-19 e dificuldade de acesso às políticas públicas; no particular: jornadas e sobrecargas de trabalho, uso de equipamentos e ferramentas rudimentares e relações desiguais de gênero, classe e raça; no singular: adoecimentos físicos, mentais e mortes. Os processos protetores, no domínio geral: os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável, políticas públicas de saúde e assistência social; no particular: trabalho e beneficiamento em grupo, consumo para subsistência; no singular: a pesca como processo terapêutico, prazeroso e de partilha. O estudo destacou os problemas centrais das mulheres das águas e a necessidade do estabelecimento de políticas públicas voltadas ao seu cuidado.

Abstract This study aims to analyze the protective and destructive critical processes of 34 water women in the municipalities of Cabo de Santo de Agostinho and Ipojuca, Pernambuco, Brazil, from February/21 to August/22. The work process stages were systematized by the work flowchart, and we employed Breilh's critical processes matrix to organize the data. The destructive processes identified in the general domain were injustice and socio-environmental vulnerability, such as the economic development model, the Suape Industrial Port Complex, the 2019 oil spill crime disaster, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the difficult access to public policies; in the particular domain: overloads and extended working hours, use of rudimentary equipment and tools, and unequal gender, class, and race relationships; in the singular domain: physical and mental illnesses and deaths. The protective processes identified in the general domain were sustainable development objectives, public health, and social assistance policies; in the particular domain, group work and processing, consumption for subsistence; in the singular domain, fishing as a therapeutic, pleasurable, and sharing process. The study highlighted the central issues of the water women and the need to establish public policies targeting their care.

Flotas de pesca extranjeras en el Pacífico costarricense y su traslape con áreas protegidas oceánicas, el ordenamiento pesquero y el Domo Térmico / Foreign fishing fleets in the Costa Rican Pacific and their overlap with oceanic protected areas, the fishing zoning, and the Thermal Dome

Introduction: Until today, the fishing effort by foreign fleets in the Costa Rican Pacific has not been analyzed. Objective: To determine the spatial distribution of the fishing effort of those fleets, variables that shape that distribution, and if they interact with management figures and highly fragile ecosystems. Methods: Using fishing effort data from 2012 to 2020, obtained from Global Fishing Watch, an Index of Fishing Effort (IEP) was calculated to apply geospatial and multivariate statistics, as well as multiple regression models. A grid with 55 905 cells of 0.10 degrees was used to apply Hot Spot Analysis, and another grid with 24 176 cell-year-month analysis units of 0.25 degrees was used to apply a Linear Regression Model. Results: The data reveals the fishing activity of international fleets associated with four types of fishing gear, and a wide coverage of a high IEP by two fleets throughout the nine years analyzed. The IEP is primarily associated with location and varies by month and year. There is also relative evidence that its influenced by the concentration of oxygen and nitrates. Conclusions: International fleets come into direct conflict with officially defined zones for national fleets and disrespect protected oceanic areas and a declared non-fishing zone to protect marine resources in the Costa Rican Pacific. Their activities in the Dome may affect a national yellowfin tuna fishery.

Introducción: Hasta hoy, no ha sido analizado el esfuerzo pesquero por parte de flotas extranjeras en el Pacífico de Costa Rica. Objetivo: Determinar la distribución espacial del esfuerzo pesquero de esas flotas, variables que moldean esa distribución, y si las mismas interactúan con figuras de manejo y ecosistemas altamente frágiles. Métodos: A partir de datos de esfuerzo pesquero de 2012 a 2020, obtenidos de Global Fishing Watch, fue calculado un Índice de Esfuerzo Pesquero (IEP) sobre el cual fue aplicada estadística geoespacial y multivariada, así como modelos de regresión múltiple. Fue utilizada una cuadrícula con 55 905 celdas de 0.10 grados, para aplicar Análisis de Puntos Calientes, y otra cuadrícula con 24 176 unidades de análisis celdas-año-mes de 0.25 grados, para aplicar un Modelo de Regresión Lineal. Resultados: Los datos revelan la actividad pesquera de las flotas internacionales asociadas a cuatro tipos de artes de pesca, así como una amplia cobertura de alto IEP por parte de dos flotas a lo largo de los nueve años analizados. El IEP se asocia principalmente con la ubicación y varía según el mes y el año. También hay evidencia relativa de que está influenciado por la concentración de oxígeno y nitratos. Conclusiones: Las flotas internacionales entran en conflicto directo con zonas oficialmente delimitadas para las flotas nacionales e irrespetan las áreas oceánicas protegidas y una zona no pesquera declarada para proteger los recursos marinos en el Pacífico costarricense. Sus actividades en el Domo pueden afectar la pesquería de atún aleta amarilla.

Association of sunlight exposure with visual impairment in an Indian fishing community

Purpose: Indian fishermen belong to a marginalized population and are continuously exposed to extreme occupational hazards and sunlight. A high prevalence of visual impairment (VI) is reported in the coastal fishing community. We aimed to investigate the association between VI and sunlight exposure measurement (SEM). Methods: In this cross?sectional observational study, 270 eyes of 135 participants were enrolled from a coastal fishing village. Participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, which included best?corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and anterior and posterior segment examination. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and SEM questionnaire were administered to estimate the level of dry eye and ultraviolet?B (UV?B) exposure, respectively. VI was defined as presenting visual acuity worse than 6/12 (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR] > 0.3). Results: The mean age and spherical equivalent were 50.56 ± 11.72 years (range: 18–80 years) and 0.36 ± 1.68 diopters (D) (range: ?7.0 to +3.0 D), respectively. Age, SEM, OSDI, fishing as an occupation, and cataract were significantly associated with higher odds of VI in univariate analysis. Refraction, gender, education level, smoking status, amblyopia, systematic, and other ocular diseases were not significantly associated with VI. In the multivariate analysis, age, SEM, and presence of cataract remained significantly associated with a higher risk for VI. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values for age and SEM scores demonstrate a fair index of discrimination for the detection of VI. Conclusion: SEM level is directly associated with a higher risk of VI among fishermen. The fishing community might benefit from regular eye examinations and awareness about the harmful effects of sunlight exposure and preventive measures.

The Serra Spanish mackerel fishery (Scomberomorus brasiliensis - Teleostei) in Southern Brazil: the growing landings of a high trophic level resource / A pesca da cavala, Scomberomorus brasiliensis (Teleostei), no sul do Brasil: o aumento nos desembarques de um recurso de alto nível trófico

Abstract In fisheries, the phenomenon known as fishing down food webs is supposed to be a consequence of overfishing, which would be reflected in a reduction in the trophic level of landings. In such scenarios, the resilience of carnivorous, top predator species is particularly affected, making these resources the first to be depleted. The Serra Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus brasiliensis, exemplifies a predator resource historically targeted by artisanal fisheries on the Brazilian coast. The present work analyzes landings in three periods within a 50-year timescale on the Parana coast, Southern Brazil, aiming to evaluate whether historical production has supposedly declined. Simultaneously, the diet was analyzed to confirm carnivorous habits and evaluate the trophic level in this region. Surprisingly, the results show that from the 1970's to 2019 Serra Spanish mackerel production grew relatively to other resources, as well as in individual values. The trophic level was calculated as 4.238, similar to other Scomberomorus species, consisting of a case where landings increase over time, despite the high trophic level and large body size of the resource. The results agree with a recent global assessment that has demystified a necessary correlation between high trophic level and overexploitation, but possible factors acting on the present findings are discussed.

Resumo Na pesca, o fenômeno fishing down food webs, ou 'pescando teias tróficas abaixo', expressa a redução do nível trófico na composição das capturas, e tem origem tradicionalmente atribuída à sobrepesca. Sob intenso extrativismo, a resiliência das espécies carnívoras, predadoras de topo, é particularmente afetada, sendo seus estoques os primeiros a entrarem em depleção. A cavala, ou serra, ou sororoca, Scomberomorus brasiliensis, é exemplo de recurso predador historicamente alvo da pesca artesanal, de pequena escala, na costa brasileira. O presente trabalho analisa os valores de desembarque do recurso em três períodos ao longo de 50 anos na costa paranaense, sul do Brasil, com objetivo de avaliar se sua produção tem efetivamente diminuído. Ainda, estuda-se a dieta da espécie na região, para confirmar seus hábitos carnívoros e avaliar o nível trófico na região. Os resultados mostram que, surpreendentemente, dos anos 1970 para 2019 a produção de S. brasiliensis tem aumentado em valores absolutos, bem como relativamente à de outros recursos, em que pese o nível trófico 4,238, similar a outras espécies do gênero. Constata-se que a pesca da cavala na região de estudo constitui um caso de aumento nos desembarques a despeito de elevado nível trófico e grande tamanho corpóreo. Os resultados concordam com recente levantamento em nível mundial, que nega existir correlação necessária entre sobrepesca e nível trófico alto, mas fatores que podem explicar os resultados do presente trabalho são discutidos.

Benefícios previdenciários de pescadores artesanais e marisqueiras em comunidade quilombola no Nordeste do Brasil / Social security benefits for small-scale fisherman in a quilombola community in northeastern Brazil

Resumo Introdução: a pesca artesanal e a mariscagem são consideradas atividades especiais, para fins de benefícios, no âmbito do Regime Geral de Previdência Social do Brasil. Objetivo: descrever o acesso aos benefícios previdenciários por uma população quilombola tradicional pesqueira no Nordeste do Brasil, cuja principal atividade ocupacional é a extração e beneficiamento de mariscos. Métodos: estudo transversal, descritivo, em uma comunidade da Ilha da Maré, em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas, utilizando questionários padronizados. Resultados: participaram 213 pescadores artesanais e marisqueiras, 76,5% do sexo feminino. Dentre os participantes, 62,9% não recebem nenhum tipo de benefício previdenciário. Apesar de se submeter a uma jornada de trabalho exaustiva (90,9%), com exposição a substâncias químicas (83,9%), ruído (69,9%) e radiação solar (88,2%), a maioria não obtém rendimentos que garantam a subsistência familiar (79,6%). Conclusão: há um importante déficit no recebimento de benefícios previdenciários em uma população quilombola tradicional que atende aos critérios de segurados especiais. Sugere-se adequação da legislação, de forma que o acesso aos benefícios se torne mais justo para as comunidades tradicionais.

Abstract Introduction: artisanal fishing and shellfish gathering are considered special activities under the Brazilian general social security system for the purposes of social security benefits. Objective: to describe the access to social security benefits for a traditional fishing quilombola community in northeastern Brazil, whose main occupational activity is shellfish extraction and processing. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in a community from Ilha da Maré, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Results: 213 fishermen (76.5% female) participated in the study, of which 62.9% did not receive social benefits. Although most participants undergoing an exhausting working hours (90.9%), with exposure to chemicals (83.9%), noise (69.9%) and solar radiation (88.2%), the majority of them do not earn an income that guarantees their family's subsistence (79.6%). Conclusion: there is an important deficit in social security benefits access for a traditional quilombola population that meets the criteria for special insurance. Legislation must be adapted to ensure fairer access to social benefits for this population.

Aspectos da (in)segurança alimentar e nutricional vivenciados por mulheres marisqueiras / Aspects of food and nutrition (in)securityexperienced by shellfish gatherers women

Introdução: A pesca artesanal possibilita tanto geração de renda como a extração de produtos para subsistência, e se conforma como estratégia de continuidade da vida de pescadores e marisqueiras. As práticas alimentares dessas populações se relacionam com a cultura e à tradição e estão vinculadas as condições socioeconômicas e demográficas. Objetivo: Compreender a relação entre as práticas alimentares com a situação de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional e as condições de saúde de marisqueiras da Ilha de Itaparica, na Bahia. Métodos: Esta pesquisa utilizou a abordagem qualitativa, descritiva, de caráter analítico. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais em profundidade e aplicação da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar para possibilitar a classificação da situação de segurança alimentar e mensurar a dificuldade das marisqueiras no acesso aos alimentos, além do diário de campo que foi adotado como uma ferramenta importante para o processo de imersão no campo-tema. A análise das narrativas se deu a partir de aproximações com a hermenêutica-dialética. Resultados: As marisqueiras participantes deste estudo são mulheres negras, apresentam faixa etária entre 22 e 70 anos, todas têm filhos e encontram na mariscagem uma estratégia para prover o sustento familiar. Discussão: A vulnerabilidade socioeconômica expõe essa população a uma alimentação nutricionalmente inadequada, que reflete de forma negativa sobre as condições de saúde. Todas as entrevistadas vivem em situação de insegurança alimentar e nutricional. O risco de fome é um aspecto permanente entre essas mulheres, e a pesca artesanal constitui a principal estratégia de enfrentamento da insegurança alimentar. (AU)

Introduction: Artisanal fishing enables both income generation and the extraction of products for subsistence, and is a strategy for the continuity of the lives of fishermen and shellfish gatherers women. The eating practices of these populations are related to culture and tradition and are linked to socioeconomic and demographic conditions. Objective: understand the relationship between dietary practices and the situation of Food and Nutrition Security and the health conditions of shellfish gatherers women from Island Itaparica, Bahia. Methods: this research used the qualitative, descriptive, analytical approach was used. Individual in-depth interviews were carried out and the Brazilian Scale of Food Insecurity was applied to enable the classification of the food security situation and measure the difficulty of shellfish gatherers in accessing food, in addition to the field diary that was adopted as an important tool for the process of immersion in the subject field. The analysis of the narratives was based on approximations with hermeneutics-dialectics. Results: The shellfish gatherers women participants of this study are black women, aged between 22 and 70 years old, all have children and find shellfish farming a strategy to provide for their families. Discussion: Socioeconomic vulnerability exposes this population to a nutritionally inadequate diet, which reflects negatively on health conditions. All interviewees live in a situation of food and nutrition insecurity. The risk of hunger is a permanent aspect among these women, and artisanal fishing is the main strategy for coping with food insecurity. (AU)

Satellite and historical data, and statistical modeling to predict potential fishing zones for dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus (Perciformes: Coryphaenidae) in Colombian Pacific / Datos satelitales e históricos, y modelado estadístico, para predecir zonas de pesca potencial del pez dorado, Coryphaena hippurus (Perciformes: Coryphaenidae) en el Pacífico colombiano

Introduction: The prediction of potential fishing areas is considered one of the most immediate and practical approaches in fisheries and is an essential technique for decision-making in managing fishery resources. It helps fishermen reduce their fuel costs and the uncertainty of their fish catches; this technique allows to contribute to national and international food security. In this study, we build different combinations of predictive statistical models such as Generalized Linear Models and Generalized Additive Models. Objective: To predict the spatial distribution of PFZs of the dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus L.) in the Colombian Pacific Ocean. Methods: We built different combinations of Generalized Linear Models and Generalized Additive Models to predict the Catch Per Unit Effort of C. hippurus captured from 2002 to 2015 as a function of sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, sea level anomaly, and bathymetry. Results: A Generalized Additive Model with Gaussian error distribution obtained the best performance for predicting PFZs for C. hipurus. Model validation was performed by calculating the Root Mean Square Error through a cross-validation approach. The R2 of this model was 50 %, which was considered suitable for the type of data used. January and March were the months with the highest Catch per Unit Effort values, while November and December showed the lower values. Conclusion: The predicted PFZs of C. hippurus with Generalized Additive Models satisfactorily with the results of previous research, suggesting that our model can be explored as a tool for the assessment, decision making, and sustainable use of this species in the Colombian Pacific Ocean.

Introducción: La predicción de zonas potenciales de pesca se considera uno de los enfoques más inmediatos y efectivos en las pesquerías, es una técnica importante para la toma de decisiones en el manejo de los recursos pesqueros. Ayuda a los pescadores a reducir su costo de combustible y también a disminuir la incertidumbre de sus capturas, esta técnica permite contribuir a la seguridad alimentaria nacional e internacional. En este estudio, se construyeron diferentes combinaciones de modelos estadísticos predictivos como modelos lineales generalizados y modelos aditivos generalizados. Objetivo: predecir la distribución espacial de las zonas potenciales de pesca del pez dorado (Coryphaena hippurus L.) en el Pacífico colombiano. Métodos: La variable de respuesta se expresó en escala de captura por unidad de esfuerzo, es decir, el número de individuos de C. hippurus capturados por un número total de anzuelos disponibles entre 2002 y 2015. Temperatura de la superficie del mar, concentración de clorofila, anomalía del nivel del mar y batimetría, se utilizaron como variables explicativas para los meses de estacionalidad de C. hippurus (noviembre - marzo). Resultados: El modelo con mejor rendimiento para la predicción de zonas potenciales de pesca fue un modelo aditivo generalizado con distribución de error gaussiana y función de enlace de registro, que se seleccionó en función del criterio de información de Akaike, el R2 y la desviación explicada. La validación del modelo se realizó calculando el error cuadrático medio a través de un enfoque de validación cruzada. El ajuste de este modelo fue del 50 %, lo que puede considerarse adecuado para el tipo de datos utilizados. Enero y marzo fueron los meses con mayor captura por unidad de esfuerzo y noviembre-diciembre los meses con menor. Conclusión: Las zonas potenciales de pesca previstas coincidieron satisfactoriamente con investigaciones anteriores, lo que sugiere que nuestro modelo es una herramienta poderosa para la evaluación, toma de decisiones y uso sostenible de los recursos pesqueros de C. hippurus en el Pacífico colombiano.

Reproducción y limitaciones de pesca recomendadas para el caracol marino Hexaplex princeps (Neogastropoda: Muricidae) en Guerrero, México / Reproduction and recommended fishing limitations for the marine snail Hexaplex princeps (Neogastropoda: Muricidae) in Guerrero, Mexico

Abstract Introduction: The snail Hexaplex princeps is the most important gastropod in the fishery of Guerrero, but capture is not legally regulated for lack of enough studies about its reproduction, growth and other fishing aspects. Objective: To assess fishery data for H. princeps in Guerrero. Methods: From October 2016 to December 2017, we analyzed histological samples of the gonads from 6 to 13 individuals per month. We also collected data on pre-reproductive organisms captured in Costa Chica (2013 and 2014), Costa Grande (2017) and Acapulco (2019 and 2020). Results: Both sexes have five stages of gonadal development; most reproductive activity was from December to July, related to sea surface temperatures of 26 to 28 °C. The LC M in females was 94.1 mm (males: 86.1 mm). There was a high percentage of juvenile organisms in the catches (88.6 %). Conclusions: To let these snails reproduce at least once, we recommend a fishing ban from December to July, and that the minimum size of commercial capture be set at 94.1 mm.

Resumen Introducción: El caracol Hexaplex princeps es el gasterópodo más importante en la pesquería de Guerrero, pero su captura no está regulada legalmente por falta de suficientes estudios sobre su reproducción, crecimiento y otros aspectos de la pesca. Objetivo: Evaluar los datos de pesca de H. princeps en Guerrero. Métodos: De octubre 2016 a diciembre 2017, analizamos muestras histológicas de las gónadas de 6 a 13 individuos por mes. También recolectamos datos sobre organismos pre-reproductivos capturados en Costa Chica (2013 y 2014), Costa Grande (2017) y Acapulco (2019 y 2020). Resultados: Ambos sexos tienen cinco etapas de desarrollo gonadal; la mayor actividad reproductiva fue de diciembre a julio, relacionada con las temperaturas superficiales del mar, que se encuentran entre 26 y 28 °C. El LC M en hembras fue de 94.1 mm (machos: 86.1 mm). Hubo un alto porcentaje de organismos juveniles en las capturas (88.6 %). Conclusiones: Para que estos caracoles se reproduzcan al menos una vez, se recomienda una veda de diciembre a julio y que la talla mínima de captura comercial se fije en 94.1 mm.

ASPECTOS REPRODUCTIVOS Y MANEJO PESQUERO DEL CARDENAL (Paracheirodon axelrodi, Characidae), RELACIÓN CON REGIMEN HIDROLOGICO EN LA REGIÓN DE INÍRIDA- COLOMBIA / Reproductive aspects and fisheries management of the cardinal (Paracheirodon axelrodi, Characidae), relationship with the climatological pattern in the Inírida region of Colombia

RESUMEN El cardenal es el principal pez ornamental explotado en la región del Inírida. A partir de ejemplares colectados desde la actividad pesquera local, se obtuvo antecedentes de estructura talla y pesos, periodos reproductivos y longitud media de madurez. El patrón climatológico del área de estudio, se obtuvo a partir de registros de precipitación y caudal del rio Inírida (periodo 1972 - 2016). Los ejemplares colectados presentaron rango de tallas entre 8,18 y 29,28 mm, con concentración de tallas y pesos pequeños entre febrero-abril y agosto-septiembre, sugiriendo procesos de reclutamiento durante estos periodos del año. El Indicador Gonado-Somático, sugiere aumento de la actividad reproductiva concentrada en ejemplares sobre 20 mm (Lm = 26,3 mm) de longitud total; observándose un periodo reproductivo principal entre junio y julio, y un proceso secundario a finales de año (noviembre). El patrón climatológico de la región se caracteriza por un proceso paulatino de "aguas ascendentes" hasta alcanzar un máximo caudal del río (agosto, 5685,1 ± 966,6 m3 s-1) y precipitaciones (junio, 518,6 ± 182,7 mm), seguido por un proceso de "aguas descendentes" que alcanza un mínimo estacional del caudal (890,3 ± 310,5 m3 s-1) durante marzo posterior al mínimo de precipitaciones (enero, 92,8 ± 53,2 mm); este patrón hidrológico parece modular tanto la dinámica de los procesos reproductivos como la explotación pesquera de este recurso. Los resultados sugieren avanzar hacia periodos de veda especifico, orientado a resguardar procesos reproductivos del cardenal, e implementar un manejo considerando tallas mínimas en etapas de captura y comercialización del principal pez ornamental explotado en el país.

ABSTRACT The Cardenal (Paracheirodon axelrodi) is the ornamental fish species most commercialized in Inírida region of Colombia. Structure of size and weights, reproductive periods and maturity mean length estimations were obtained from specimens collected from the local fishing activity. Records of precipitation and flow rate of the Inírida river (for the period 1972 - 2016), were used to determine the climatological pattern of the study area. A size range between 8.18 and 29.28 mm was detected, with a highest frequency of small sizes and weights registered both during February-April and August-September, suggesting a recruitment processes during these periods of the year. The Gonado-Somatic Indicator suggests increased reproductive activity concentrated in specimens over 20 mm (Lm50% = 26.3 mm) in total length; observing a main reproductive period between the months of June and July, and a secondary process at the end of the year (November). The climatological pattern of the region is characterized by a gradual process of "ascending waters" until reaching a maximum river flow (August, 5685.1 ± 966.6 m3 s-1) and rainfall (June, 518.6 ± 182. 7 mm), followed by a process of "descending waters" that reaches a seasonal minimum of the flow (890.3 ± 310.5 m3 s-1) during March after the minimum of rainfall (January, 92.8 ± 53.2 mm); This hydrological pattern seems to modulate both the dynamics of reproductive processes and the fishing exploitation of this resource. The results suggest moving towards specific closed seasons, aimed at protecting cardinal reproductive processes, and implementing a management considering minimum sizes in the capture and commercialization stages of the main ornamental fish exploited in the country.

PREVALENCE OF RESPIRATORY ILLNESS AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG FISHING TRAWLER WORKERS IN TAMIL NADU.

In India, an estimated half a billion people work in fishing-related jobs. Trawler fishermen are frequently exposed to long hours of fuel exhaust, but little is known about the adverse effects of this exposure. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of respiratory illness among Fishing Trawler workers and its association between the working environment quality. This crosssectional study was conducted from April 2021 to June 2021 among adults engaged in trawler fishing in Tamil Nadu using an interviewer administered semi structured questionnaire and the data was analysed using SPSS version 16. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms was 81% and respiratory illness was 36.5% with signi?cance between years of working(p=<0.05), days a month worked(p=<0.05), hours of exposure(p=<0.05), history of smoking(p=<0.05) and air quality(p=0.05). Trawler fishermen's respiratory health may be compromised by fuel exhaust and exposure duration. More attention and surveillance of trawler fishermen's occupational health is required

Bycatch of Asteroidea from shrimp trawl fishery in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean ­ Brazil

Shrimp trawling is considered a significant negative impact on the marine ecosystem, especially on the benthic community. Sea stars (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) are one of the most affected groups by unintentional catches. This study was performed at the Santana Archipelago, a Marine Protected Area in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro State, between 2008-2009. Sea stars accidentally caught by trawling were collected during open and closed season of the shrimp fisheries (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri) at depths of 5-60 m. A generalized linear zero-inflated model was applied to test for differences in capture between fishing seasons and depths. A total of 158 sea star specimens were captured. These specimens were identified as Asterina stellifera, Astropecten acutiradiatus, Astropecten brasiliensis, Astropecten cingulatus, Luidia alternata alternata, Luidia clathrata, Luidia ludwigi scotti, Luidia senegalensis. The sea stars A. brasiliensis and L. senegalensis are currently considered as vulnerable species in the Brazilian official list of threatened species. The higher capture of sea stars was shown in deepest areas, and there was no significant difference in the number of specimens between seasons. This is the first study about asteroids accidentally captured by shrimp trawling.(AU)

Vigilância popular da saúde nas comunidades pesqueiras tradicionais e ecologia dos saberes no enfrentamento à COVID-19 / Popular health surveillance in traditional fishing communities and the ecology of knowledges in the fight against COVID-19

Resumo Diante da emergência em saúde pública de importância internacional provocada pela COVID-19, trabalhadores da pesca artesanal, em diálogo com lideranças e acadêmicos brasileiros criaram, em março de 2020, um Observatório sobre os impactos dessa pandemia em comunidades pesqueiras. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a experiência de vigilância popular da saúde de pescadores e pescadoras através de boletins diários produzidos no Observatório. Trata-se de um processo de monitoramento que possibilitou ampliar o reconhecimento da diversidade de modos de vida das populações vulneráveis que entrelaça saúde, ambiente e trabalho. O estudo utilizou metodologia qualitativa, horizontal e emancipatória e buscou aproximações à prática da ecologia dos saberes, tendo como resultados: construção compartilhada de informações e conhecimentos com base em experiências sociais heterogêneas; prática da ouvidoria coletiva com a valorização de saberes construídos nas lutas sociais; avaliação conjunta de iniquidades em saúde pública, conflitos territoriais e racismo ambiental, estrutural e institucional; orientação das lideranças sociais e captação de recursos através de editais públicos. Revela-se, assim, dinamicidade e horizontalidade de aprendizados com base na solidariedade e emancipação social a partir do interconhecimento.

Abstract Considering the public health emergency of international importance caused by COVID-19, artisanal fishing workers, engaging in a dialogue with Brazilian leaders and scholars, created an Observatory on the impacts of this pandemic on fishing communities in March 2020. The purpose of this article is to analyze the experience of popular surveillance of fishermen and fisherwomen's health through daily reports produced at the Observatory. It is a monitoring process that allowed broadening the recognition of the diversity of vulnerable populations' ways of life that intertwine health, environment and work. The study used a qualitative, horizontal and emancipatory methodology and sought approaches to the practice of the ecology of knowledges, with the following results: shared construction of information and knowledges based on heterogeneous social experiences; practice of collective ombudsman with the appreciation of knowledges built in social struggles); joint assessment of public health inequities, territorial conflicts, and environmental, structural, and institutional racism; guidance of social leaders and fundraising through public notices. Thus, the dynamics and horizontality of learning based on solidarity and social emancipation from inter-knowledge are revealed.

Derramamento de petróleo no litoral brasileiro: (in)visibilidade de saberes e descaso com a vida de marisqueiras / Oil spill on the Brazilian coast: (in)visibility of knowledges and disregard for the life of shellfisherwomen

Resumo Em 2019 um derramamento de petróleo de origem desconhecida afetou várias localidades do litoral brasileiro. Nessa pesquisa, objetivou-se apreender as percepções das marisqueiras do estuário do Rio Jaguaribe, Ceará, acerca da exposição ao petróleo e suas consequências. Utilizou-se o grupo focal como técnica para a coleta de dados e o software Iramuteq para o processamento e análise do material. Os resultados apontaram para a criação de duas categorias analíticas: implicações sociais, econômicas, produtivas e de consumo de alimentos das famílias marisqueiras; e os saberes, a participação e a vigilância no contexto de (in)visibilização da exposição ao petróleo. Percebeu-se que as marisqueiras e suas famílias são uma população muito exposta aos impactos negativos causados pelo derramamento de petróleo por se apresentarem significativos sob as perspectivas socioeconômicas, ambientais, produtivas e de saúde. Chama-se a atenção para as políticas de saúde e assistência social para as trabalhadoras, consequências na segurança alimentar, hídrica e nutricional das famílias e sobre o reconhecimento de seus saberes e práticas, construídos dentro de um modo de vida tradicional que produz e reproduz a existência numa estreita relação sociedade/natureza.

Abstract In 2019, an oil spill of yet unknown origin affected several locations on the Brazilian coast. The purpose of this research was to capture the perceptions of women shellfish gatherers in the Jaguaribe River estuary, Ceará, about exposure to oil and its consequences. The focal group technique was used for data collection and the Iramuteq software for the processing and analysis of the material. The results indicated the creation of two analytical categories: Social, economic, food production and consumption implications of shellfish gatherer families; and the knowledges, the participation and the surveillance in the context of (in)visibility of exposure to oil. It was observed that shellfisherwomen and their families constitute a population that is very exposed to the negative impacts caused by the oil spill, as they are significant from the socioeconomic, environmental, food production, consumption and health perspectives. Attention is drawn to health and social assistance policies for these fisherwomen/shellfish gatherers, with consequences on the food, water and nutrition security of families and the recognition of their knowledges and practices, constructed within a traditional way of life that produces and reproduces the existence in a close society/nature relationship.
