Abstract (en):
This study describes today´s ornamental fish fishery at three localities of the Amazon Department, and compares it with information from similar studies done in the 90âs. Results indicate that 24 ornamental fish traders operate in the area marketing 93 species, while in the 90âs there were 18 ornamental fish traders that marketed 27 species. The most commercialized species havenât changed since the 90âs, but traded volumes have doubled. The silver arawana (Osteoglosssum bicirrhosum), the blue discus (Symphysodon aequisfasciatus), the otocinclus (Otocinclus spp) and the corydoras (Corydoras spp), still remain as the most important species for the locals. Five new fishing gears where identified: the crossbow, snorkel and mask, the rapichel, the longline, and the needle hook. The arowana and discus fishing areas have changed in relation to the 90âs. The zone of Tarapacá should be a priority for future research that enable the establishment of more appropriate fishing quotas and closed seasons, as well for the development of conservation and management programs with the local communities. Given that most of the ornamental fishes merchandized by this region are coming from Brazil or Peru, it is important to develop trans-boundary strategies for their exploitation.
Abstract (es):
Se caracteriza la pesquería actual de peces ornamentales en tres localidades del departamento del Amazonas y se compara con lo reportado por trabajos similares realizados en los años 90. Los resultados indican que actualmente operan 24 acopiadores que comercializan 93 especies, mientras que en los años 90 existían 18 acopiadores que comercializaban 27 especies. Las principales especies comercializadas no han variado desde entonces, aunque los volúmenes movilizados se han duplicado. La arawana (Osteoglosssum bicirrhosum), el disco (Symphysodon aequisfasciatus), los otocinclos (Otocinclus spp) y las corredoras (Corydoras spp) siguen siendo las especies de mayor importancia local. Se identificaron cinco artes de pesca nuevos: la ballesta, la careta y snorkel, el ârapichelâ, el calandrio o espinel y el anzuelo de aguja. Las zonas de pesca de la arawana y el disco se han desplazado en relación a los 90. Se recomienda priorizar el sector de Tarapacá para futuras investigaciones que permitan establecer cuotas de captura y vedas más apropiadas, como también que se adelanten programas de conservación y manejo con las comunidades locales. Dado que la mayoría de peces ornamentales comercializados en esta región actualmente provienen de Brasil o Perú, es importante desarrollar estrategias transfronterizas para su aprovechamiento.
