Abstract
Description
The Amazon Basin is the largest hydrographic basin in the world. People living along the floodplains of the Amazonian rivers have a mixed economy based mainly on small-scale agriculture, fishing and livestock.
With about 2200 species of fish, the Amazon basin is recognized as having the most diverse fish fauna in the world. Additionally, the average fish consumption per inhabitant is one of the highest globally, where most fish are caught by small-scale artisanal fishers.
