Fig. 4. Fish occurrences by spots, considering the main target species (king mackerel—Scomberomorus cavala, blue runner—Caranx crysos, whitemouth croaker—Micro-pogonias furnieri, grouper—Epinephelus marginatus and weakfish—Cynoscion spp.). These spots were identified based on interviews with 41 expert fishers from the three main fishing villages (Trindade, P. Grande/Arau´ jo I, and Tarituba) in the Paraty municipality (Southeastern Brazilian coast). The
spots shown here are those that were cited by three or more fishers from any of the three villages. The table in the figure shows the percentage of citations for each spot according to the main target species. Spots whose rows are presented in a darker color represent those receiving more than 5% of citations when all of the citations (n ¼ 281) for all spots and target species were
totaled together. The squares around the spots indicate the sites where more than 5% of the target
species (total kg in fish landing sampling) were caught in these villages.
