SUMMARY:

Fishing has been a threatening and threatened activity; overfishing is considered one of the most significant anthropogenic impacts on marine biodiversity and climate change. However, it is also an activity threatened by profound structural changes in marine ecosystems, threatening people who depend on these resources, artisanal fishers. This dissertation investigates the issues related to fishing and its stressors and how these put artisanal fishers at risk. In the second chapter, we tested the hypothesis that the production of scientific knowledge on fisheries and climate change is driven by negative socioeconomic impacts, finding that economic wealth is essential for great scientific production in countries, and we confirm the increased emphasis on socioeconomic issues. In the third chapter, we tested the hypothesis that socioeconomic aspects, like age, religion, income and fishing environment, influence the perception of risk of artisanal fishers, and it was found that the high seas environment represents a greater risk of losses, as well as fishers in this environment, have a higher perception of risks related to conflicts and physical integrity than coastal fishers. Thus, it is necessary to balance research between human and natural dimensions for better fisheries management.
