ABSTRACT
This study analysed the commercial fishing for peacock bass (Cichla spp.) and its variation according to the river regime and the fishing environments, based on landing data in Manaus. The landing data were provided by the Z-12 Fishermen's Association and the monthly quotas (m) of Rio Negro by the National Water Agency, corresponding to the years 2012 and 2013. The Catch per Unit of Effort (CPUE) was obtained by dividing the total catch and the number of boats. A Generalized Linear Model was used to analyse the relationship between CPUE and the river level. Through the Analysis of Variance we compared the averages of capture between the fishing areas and Fisher's LSD test revealed which environments had different capture averages. Student's t-test was used to compare the mean of capture between white and black water environments. The largest catches and CPUEs occurred during receding water, and the relationship between CPUE and river level was inverse. Black water environments obtained the highest CPUEs, as well as the highest capture averages. There were differences in the average catches between fishing areas, but not between water types. This study shows how peacock bass exploitation occurs and can assist in management measures for this species.
RESUMO
Este estudo analisou a pesca comercial do tucunaré (Cichla spp.) e sua variação de acordo com o regime do rio e os ambientes de pesca, com base em dados de desembarque em Manaus. Os dados de desembarque foram fornecidos pela Associação dos Pescadores Z-12 e as cotas mensais (m) do Rio Negro pela Agência Nacional de Águas, correspondentes aos anos de 2012 e 2013. A Captura por Unidade de Esforço (CPUE) foi obtida pela divisão da captura total e o número de barcos. Um modelo linear generalizado foi usado para analisar a relação entre a CPUE e o nível do rio. Por meio da Análise de Variância comparamos as médias de captura entre as áreas de pesca e o teste LSD de Fisher revelou quais ambientes apresentaram diferentes médias de captura. O teste t de Student foi usado para comparar a média de captura entre ambientes de água branca e preta. As maiores capturas e CPUEs ocorreram durante o recuo da água, e a relação entre a CPUE e o nível do rio foi inversa. Ambientes de águas negras obtiveram as maiores CPUEs, bem como as maiores médias de captura. Houve diferenças nas capturas médias entre as áreas de pesca, mas não entre os tipos de água. Este estudo mostra como ocorre a exploração do tucunaré e pode auxiliar nas medidas de manejo dessa espécie.
