"Shark is the man!": ethnoknowledge of Brazil's South Bahia fishermen regarding shark behaviors

Conclusions: This work demonstrates the complexity and robustness of artisanal fishermen's ichthyological knowledge of sharks. Therefore, we suggest that such knowledge should be considered to develop public policies for the control of the fishing activity, as well as to develop and consolidate the National Action Plan for the Conservation of Shark and Ray Species (PAN - Tubaroes e Raias).
