THE POTENTIAL OF CITIZEN SCIENCE TO ASSESS MIGRATORY PATTERNS OF AMAZON FISH
Special issue on Citizen Science
This paper discusses the use of citizen science and participatory monitoring initiatives for the identification of migratory patterns of Amazon fish. We interpreted fisheries data collected in the Madeira River basin by fishers using an applicative on smartphones which allows them to register catches or landings. The results were compared with historical data from the basin, corroborating migratory patterns and the decline in catches of commercially important migratory fish. The main strength of the tool is the opportunity to create and share knowledge between traditional scientists and citizen scientists, across the basin
