TITLE:

Reef fish studies in the Southwest Atlantic: Advances in Marine Conservation

KEY WORDS:

reef environment; herbivore fishes; marine protected areas; Bibliometric analyses 

PAGES: 27
BIG AREA: Ciências Biológicas
AREA: Ecologia
SUMMARY:

Scientific knowledge about reef fish is strategic for the conservation and management of tropical coral reefs, and South Atlantic one of the largest areain shallow and deep reef fishes. This research study investigated trends, gaps and perspectives in the Southwest Atlantic, in publications on the Web of Science. Through articles we analysedbibliometric networks, scientific areas, keywords, types, processes and components of ecosystems studied between 1960 and 2020. Publications grew exponentially (R² = 0.807) throughout this time, mainly in the areas of Ecology and Biology. Co-authoring networks were established mainly between Brazilian, North American and Australian universities. Most of the scientific publications in Brazil come from public federal universities (83%). Applied Ecology had a low number of publications(11%), but knowledge advanced for conservation. Ecology & Evolution (7%) and Taxonomy,Systematic&Phylogenetics (5%)need to expand with respect toendemic species, interactions and trophic webs. New perspectives in Ethnobiology and Ethnoecology (1.9%) emerge as promising fields, to complement research gaps on fisheries by considering local ecological knowledge. The recent environmentaldisasters that occurred along the coast of Brazil reinforce the need to apply Ecotoxicology tomonitoring surveys. Our findings support the need to maintain and increase investments in Science and Technology in the Tropical Southwestern Atlantic region. However, the conservation, management and governance of these areas will require greater efforts from society, academia and public authorities.It is necessary to establish dialoguenetworks between society, academia and managers to reconcile human needs with morestrategic sustainable development initiatives.
