Manejo da pesca e a interdisciplinaridade Fishcery handling and the interdisciplinarity

The present state of world fisheries shows that fishery management is unable to sustain yields and resolve the conflicts between conservation and development. Fishery science recognized the importance of multi-disciplinarity long ago, particularly in subjects like stock recruitment, abundance fluctuations and trophic relationships. In order to attain a better level of understanding and efficiency, fishery management needs to incorporate and integrate an interdisciplinary approach, where important aspects as sociology and economics of the different actors and stakeholders must be weighted and considered. Key-words: fisheries, management, development, the environment, interdisciplinarity.
