This week, Elise (IG: @elise_the_mermaid) talks with Dr. Leandro Castello about his interdisciplinary research on arapaima fisheries in the Amazon, his new study on the accuracy of fishers' memories in reconstructing a history of past catches (linked below), and how these memories can be used to better manage data poor fisheries in developing countries.
Main point: Most fisheries worldwide are artisanal, tropical, and located in developing countries, and therefore require different approaches to management.
