The franciscana dolphin ( Pontoporia blainvillei ) is a coastal dolphin endemic to the western South Atlantic Ocean. The dolphin is listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List, with incidental catches in gillnet fisheries the greatest conservation concern for this species. Insights into the feeding habits of this dolphin are essential to understand i...

A avaliação do estado de conservação de espécies da fauna brasileira, atribuição do Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio), tem representado um esforço imenso e qualificado, agregando centenas de pesquisadores de diferentes instituições.

The Magellanic Penguin Spheniscus magellanicus is one of the main seabird predators in the western South Atlantic. This species presents an opportunist feeding behaviour and its diet, as well as its parasite fauna, varies geographically depending on available prey and intermediate hosts. Despite thousands of Magellanic Penguins being found dead eve...

Apresentação de trabalho por bolsista PIBIC no XI Encontro de Iniciação Científica do Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade, sobre a avaliação do risco de extinção de Actinopterygii marinhos, com especial referência à espécies ameaçadas de extinção e com dados insuficientes, tratando de ameaças,, distribuição e medidas de conserva...

Marine mammals and humans are apex predators and both may compete for fish in ecosystems under continuous fishing pressure. We assessed the degree of trophic overlap between prey species found in the diet of 5 marine mammals (39 specimens of sea lion Otaria flavescens, 61 fur seals Arctocephalus australis, 76 franciscana dolphins Pontoporia blainvi...

The present study reports the occurrence of the bearded brotula Brotula barbata in four different localities off southern Brazil. These records extend the species’ known distribution limit southwards, beyond Rio de Janeiro, to the state of Rio Grande do Sul (30° 50′ S). Morphometric and meristic data for the specimens reported herein are provided a...

The stomach content of a male, immature dwarf minke whale ( Balaenoptera acutorostrata subsp.) stranded in September of 2008 in southern Brazil revealed a large consumption of the Argentine shortfin squid ( Illex argentinus ), probably in multiple feeding events. Stable isotopes signals from kidney and liver samples of the whale are consistent with...

Longe de ser uma solução aos problemas derivados da pesca, a Portaria MMA n° 445/2014 contextualiza uma realidade do país, onde se tem um cenário marinho degradado, junto da emersão de questões fundamentais ao gerenciamento da pesca. De um lado a pressão do setor pesqueiro junto aos órgãos ambientais, para extinguir a Portaria, e do outro as conseq...

As modalidades de pesca de arrasto no sudeste e sul no Brasil capturam em sua maioria indivíduos de peixe-batata antes que estes atinjam o tamanho da primeira maturação. Além do colapso da pescaria, essa remoção contínua de jovens da população pode levar a espécie à extinção. Medidas que limitem a atuação da frota de arrasto sobre os peixes demersa...

The future of marine biodiversity and economically viable fisheries requires sustainable use of our natural resources (WORM et al. 2009; GAINES et al. 2010). However, there is no question that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (i.e IUU fishing) has severely reduced many marine populations worldwide (PAULY 1998; WORM et al. 2009). The Sout...

Seabirds breeding in tropical environments experience high energetic demands, when foraging in an oligotrophic environment. The globally threatened Trindade petrel Pterodroma arminjoniana has its largest colony in Trindade Island (20°30′S–29°19′W) inside the oligotrophic South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre. Diet sampling methods, geolocator tracking an...

The area surv...

The genus Kogia, which comprises only two extant species, Kogia sima and Kogia breviceps, represents one of the least known groups of cetaceans in the global ocean. In some coastal regions, however, stranding events of these species have been relatively common over the last decades. Stranding provides the opportunity to investigate the biology of t...

A região marinha entre o norte da Ilha de Santa Catarina e o continente, em San-ta Catarina, tem sido considerada pelos órgãos de fiscalização ambiental como uma baía e, portanto, como área de restrição à pesca de arrasto de camarões, de acordo com a Portaria n° 51/83, da extinta Superintendência do Desenvolvimento da Pesca (SUDEPE). Essa Porta-ria...

A primeira lista da fauna brasileira ameaçada de extinção incluía 42 espécies de répteis, aves e mamíferos (IN IBDF 303/1968). Esse número duplicou cinco anos depois, quando 85 espécies, entre elas o primeiro invertebrado terrestre ameaçado no país, integraram a lista seguinte (IN IBDF 3.481/1973; Quadro 1). Passados 16 anos, a lista quase triplico...

Catch data are the most basic information to be collected for managing fisheries everywhere. However, in many regions around the globe, including Brazil, this information is not available in a quality that is satisfactory. The objective of the initiative presented in this paper was to compile a country-wide database of marine commercial catch data...

The Brazilian Minister of the Environment released the new national red lists enumerating 2113 plants and 1173 animals threatened with extinction. Of the 475 aquatic species on the list, 83 are commercially exploited by fisheries, mainly as by-catch. The industrial fisheries sector is now using its political influence to persuade the government to...

South American fur seals (Arctophoca australis) inhabiting the Río de la Plata plume and adjoining areas are known to forage upon a wide range of prey (i.e. pelagic, demersal and benthic species).Since the 1960s, trawlers have operated in the area, targeting primarily demersal and benthic species. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios from 54 a...

In this case, fishing boats which operated with gill-nets longlines and trawls along the southern Brazilian Economic Exclusive Zone and inter-nati...

The development of demersal fishing in slope areas off southern Brazil (21o - 34o S) accelerated since the year 2000 as a result of commercial operations conducted by national and chartered bottom longliners, potters, gillnetters and trawlers. These operations were continuously monitored by observers as part of scientific research program carried o...
