FISH, FISHERIES & FOOD SECURITY | Alpina Begossi | TEDxUnicamp

Small-scale fisheries are responsible for the diversity of fish available to consumers as well as for the subsistence of the livelihoods of the resource extractors, the small-scale fishers. These fishers are represented here as Caiçaras (Atlantic Forest coast fishers ) and Caboclos (Amazonian riverine fishers). The importance of the coastal (and freshwater) fish for the food security of the population is shown in this talk through examples of catches from Brazilian small-scale fisheries.. Examples are given about fish consumed, sold ando on food taboos. Fish conservation data show many threatened coastal fishes. One, the dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus), is emblematic, since it has a very good value in the market, besides other values for the livelihoods of the small-scale fishers. Alpina Begossi is a Biologist-Ecologist. Her PhD is in Ecology, from the University of California, Davis, USA (support from CNPq).
