Fish marketing plays a central role in the local economy and food security in Amazonian municipalities, offering a variety of species that vary with the Amazon water cycle, affecting prices and working conditions. This study investigated the dynamics of fish traded in the two municipal markets of Benjamin Constant in the upper Solimões region of Amazonas, Brazil. The data were collected through qualitative and quantitative descriptive interviews with fishermen and traders in the two municipal markets. Eighteen fishermen and traders were interviewed, and 20 visits to the markets recorded 35 fish species, distributed among 14 families, being traded. The conclusion is that the markets are important centers for fish marketing and fundamental to the local economy. During periods of low water, extreme drought, and high water levels of the Solimões River, there is a variation in the species (richness) of fish traded, which leads to a variation in the average value of the fish traded. The extreme drought (very low river level) creates difficulties in catching and transporting fish, generally leading to scarcity and higher prices for fish sold in the two municipal markets.

Guarana is a widely used product in Brazil, the main producer and exporter to other countries, and is well-known for its health-promoting medicinal properties. It is cultivated in the North and Northeast regions, regions with a tropical climate conducive to the plant's propagation. For consumption, the fruit's seeds undergo a preparation process, and in Tabatinga, a municipality in the interior of Amazonas, guarana is produced in powder form (roasted and ground grains) organically and artisanally. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the traditional practices applied during the handling of organic guarana, following the entire process, from cultivation to artisanal processing for powder production, in Tabatinga. The research adopts an interdisciplinary approach, combining knowledge of agronomy to analyze the technical aspects involved in this practice. The methodology is based on a literature review, interviews with producers, and analysis of secondary data on organic products. The results demonstrate that organic guarana production offers several advantages, including environmental preservation, improved product quality, appreciation of local culture, and consumer health protection, as it contains no synthetic chemicals. Artisanal processing allows for a final product with unique and distinctive characteristics, emphasizing craftsmanship and cultural tradition. The research shows that combining cultivation using organic materials with artisanal guarana processing can produce products with higher added value, expanding marketing opportunities, ensuring a fairer income for producers, fostering the development of a more sustainable local and regional market, and promoting future job and income generation for the community.
Gravidez na adolescência no alto solimões: uma análise comparativa entre Benjamin Constant e Tabatinga
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2025-10-03) Curi, Gaby Cristina Arenas; Carvalho, Cristiane Suely Melo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8259608965965688; Carvalho, Cristiane Suely Melo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8259608965965688
The research aims to provide a more comprehensive overview of the socioeconomic data of women in the municipalities of Tabatinga and Benjamin Constant, both in the state of Amazonas, and how this profile affects the issue of early pregnancy and women's opinions on this important aspect of their lives. The method of this study involved administering a field questionnaire with guiding questions related to pregnancy and the socioeconomic profile of women. The questionnaires were administered in public schools, universities, and the general population in the target municipalities. Two hundred women aged 15 to 56 participated in the survey, contributing to a better understanding of their pregnancy experiences, their care during pregnancy (if they were mothers), and their lifestyles. Detailed and quantitative data were collected to demystify the diverse perceptions about pregnancy at different ages. The survey concluded that of the 63.5% of adolescents interviewed aged 15 to 20, 44.9% are sexually active and 8% are mothers. Given these data, we can observe that despite early sexual activity in these cities, the pregnancy rate among adolescents is relatively low. However, teen pregnancy continues to be seen as both a problem and a reality. It is noted that in 2024, there was a decrease in the teen pregnancy rate, which, when compared to data from the entire state of Amazonas, confirms this conclusion.
Etnoconhecimento sobre pesca de peixes ornamentais e relevância econômica para um grupo de pescadores do município de Benjamin Constant no extremo oeste da Amazônia brasileira
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2025-10-06) Silva, Francimeire Oliveira; Santos, Weslei Valteran; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6093891026890759; Santos, Weslei Valteran; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6093891026890759
This study aimed to understand the ethnoknowledge related to ornamental fish fishing and its economic relevance for a group of fishermen from the municipality of Benjamin Constant, located in the far western part of the Brazilian Amazon. The research was conducted through fieldwork, participant observation, and semi-structured interviews with fishermen and ornamental fish buyers, documenting capture, storage, and transportation practices. Twenty-two ornamental fish species were recorded, along with traditional knowledge that guides the activity, such as knowledge of breeding season, feeding habits, habitat, and management techniques. The fishermen demonstrated profound ecological mastery, highlighting the importance of traditional knowledge for species conservation and for formulating public policies that value local knowledge. The study also revealed occupational risks faced by piabeiros, such as snakebite, physical, chemical, and ergonomic accidents, often overlooked in discussions about artisanal fishing.
Percepções sobre o consumo e conservação de quelônios na comunidade indígena Novo Brasão (Tauarú) zona rural
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2025-10-06) Carvalho, Nailcy dos Santos; Carvalho, Cristiane Suely Melo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8259608965965688; Carvalho, Cristiane Suely Melo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8259608965965688
Implementing sustainable management alternatives faces significant challenges, such as a lack of financial and technical resources, the absence of specific local regulations, and the ongoing need for community awareness and environmental education. However, these challenges also present opportunities for collaboration with governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as research institutions, strengthening conservation efforts and promoting a more sustainable future for turtles and their habitats in the Amazon region.
