RESUMO

This study sought to compare two types of communities of fishermen in the city of Florianópolis which differ in the environment where its members works: (1) bays and (2) the open sea. The main objectives of the study were to characterize the socioeconomic profile of small-scale fishermen, to describe the local fishing activity with respect to the means of production, species and post-harvesting procedures, examine the financial aspects of fishing, trying to define the cost, revenue and profits involved in the activity and determine an explanatory model for the daily profit obtained by the fishermen. The explanatory model was tested through an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). To obtain the information were done three seasonal campaigns during 2008, when 218 fishermen were interviewed. The socioeconomic profile of the fishermen interviewed were consistent with those found in other communities of small-scale fishermen in Brazil and abroad. The local fishery production is made by a large number of species, however, the fleets are directed mainly to the catch of mullet, croaker, abrótea and anchovy (open ocean) and white shrimp (in bays). Fishermen using wide variety of fishing gear and techniques and the production has a great relationship with seasonality. The size of vessels, the power of engines, fuel consumption and number of crew had numerically higher values in the fleet that operates in the open sea. Daily profits obtained by the fishermen interviewed showed great variation, apparently caused by high variability in catch of fish, between seasons, between environments and even among fishermen from the same community. The model of daily profit proposed initially, considered, as explanatory factors of profit, place of fishing, year season, type of fisherman, marital status, level of education and fishing gear, and as covariates, the age of fisherman, the time of experience and the time of daily fishing. After logarithm transformation of your response variable and covariates, the model was tested and statistically not significant factors and covariates were discarded, leaving only the end of the local fishing, the season, the type of fisherman, the fishing gear and the covariate age of the fisherman. The final model explained about 56% of the variation of the daily profit, which was significantly higher among the fishermen in the open sea, in the autumn and between fishermen owners. The study contributed to the generation of knowledge for the understanding of internal and external to the fishery in the city of Florianopolis, which may affect its performance and success.
