SUMMARY:

Small-scale fisheries cover the majority of fisheries in developing countries, playing an essential role in poverty alleviation and food security. For this, they face different stressors, e.g., economic and social marginalization, conflicts, and overfishing, impacting their perceptions and attitudes of risk, which are also subject to the influence of socioeconomic attributes as distinct as age, education, income, or religion. In this article, we test the hypothesis that fishermen with a lower perception of risk have a higher income in fishing, considering the influence of the fishing environment, age, education, and religion. For this, interviews were applied to coastal and offshore fishermen, using questionnaires as tools. Our results indicated that there is a significant influence of the fishing environment on the income generated, but not of the other attributes tested, which showed differences in the medians, but with high variability. Fishing in the pelagic environment is more demanding in terms of operational conditions and requires more fishing time, being riskier than fishing in a coastal environment. We found that fishermen from this environment have a greater perception of risk related to health hazards and conflicts, while fishermen from coastal environments have a greater perception of environmental degradation. Therefore, we suggest that pelagic fishing be treated differently from others in the development of management plans, as artisanal fishermen do not constitute a homogeneous group. We also suggest that it be tested regarding the psychosocial profile of fishermen to characterize their identity for management.
