ResumoArtisanal spring/summer fish-trapping around Santa Catarina Island is described from 282 landings monitored in three localities (Praia dos Ingleses, Barra da Lagoa and Pântano do Sul) between November and March of 2000 and 2001. Despite the high number of species caught, the fishery was based on only three species: the cutlassfish (Trichiurus lepturus), the squid (Loligo plei) and the blue runner (Caranx crysos). The fishery was characterized by few traps operating in close proximity to the fishing communities, short trips, few fishermen engaged in the fishery and highly variable yields. The composition of the catches appeared to be highly influenced by the abundance of the cutlassfish, whereas wind conditions had no direct effect on the landings.
