To understand how Neotropical freshwater fishes (NFF) benefit society, we conducted a
broad literature survey to (i) map and list the ecosystem services (ES) generated by these …

The lack of knowledge about the majority of fish species harvested in Amazonian small-
scale fisheries, in association with impacts from hydroelectric power plants, may lead to …

There has been much written about the negative social and environmental impacts of large
hydropower dams, particularly the impacts on people and the environment caused by …

Inland fisheries feed greater than 150 million people globally, yet their status is rarely
assessed due to their socio-ecological complexity and pervasive lack of data. Here, we …

Climate change is now recognized as a reality and along with human pressures such as
river fragmentation by dams, amplifies the threats to freshwater ecosystems and their …

The local ecological knowledge (LEK) of fishers may help to fill the knowledge gaps about
migration of tropical fish. We investigated fishers' LEK on migratory patterns of seven fish …

The local ecological knowledge (LEK) of fishermen has been applied to reconstruct
temporal patterns of resource abundance and to assess resource exploitation, especially in …

Small-scale fisheries (SSF) account for much of the global fish catch, but data to assess
them often do not exist, impeding assessments of their historical dynamics and status. Here …

Freshwater small-scale fisheries sustain millions of livelihoods worldwide, but a lack of
monitoring makes it difficult to check the sustainability of these fisheries. We aim to compare …

Scientists increasingly draw on fishers' ecological knowledge (FEK) to gain a better
understanding of fish biology and ecology, and inform options for fisheries management. We …
