Data gathered for: Fishers’ ecological knowledge points to fishing-induced changes in the Peruvian Amazon (2024). Ecological Applications

Scientists increasingly draw on fishers’ ecological knowledge (FEK) to gain a better understanding of fish biology and ecology and inform options for fisheries management. We report on a study of FEK among fishers along the Lower Ucayali River in Peru, a region of exceptional productivity and diversity, which is also a major supplier of fish to the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon. Given a lack of available scientific information on stocks status, we sought to identify temporal changes in the composition and size of exploited species by interviewing fishers from 18 communities who vary in years of fishing experience since the mid-1950s. We develop four FEK-based indicators to assess changes in the fish assemblage and compare findings with landings data. We find an intensification of fishing gear deployed over time, spatiotemporal shifts in the fish assemblage, and reported declines in species weight, which point to a fishing-down process with declines across multiple species. This finding is reflected in a shifting baseline among our participants, whereby younger generation of fishers have different expectations regarding the distribution and size of species. Our study points to the importance of spillover effects from the nearby Pacaya-Samira National Reserve and community initiatives to support the regional fishery and the supply of fish to city markets. Reference to fishers’ knowledge also suggests that species decline is likely underreported in aggregated landings data. The dataset contains information derived from fishers' interviews as well as a subset of socioeconomic information gathered during follow-up household surveys. Additional information gathered during household surveys conducted by the Peruvian Amazon Rural Livelihoods and Poverty (PARLAP) project (https://parlap.geog.mcgill.ca) between 2014 and 2016 is also included. Landings data included in this study are restricted and not available publicly. The aggregated dataset of landings in Loreto from 1984 to 2016 is the property of the Dirección Regional de la Producción Loreto. Data are available to qualified researchers from Dirección Regional de la Producción Loreto by contacting the Director, whose contact information is available at https://www.gob.pe/institucion/regionloreto/funcionarios.

There has been an overall increase in the number of people living within the city limits of Lima throughout the time frame displayed. The population in the Peruvian capital growth has been steady since 2020, surpassing the 10 million inhabitants during 2022 and leading to reach its highest peak in 2024 with 10.29 million people. The metropolitan area of Lima also ranked as one of the most populous in Latin America. A crucial part of Peru's economic output The total GDP of Lima reached around 246 billion Peruvian soles, which represents almost half of the total economic output of the country. The industry that contributed the most to Lima's GDP was by far services; nonetheless, the importance of manufacturing makes it the second-largest contributor. Other sectors that are important for the nation, like mining and some agricultural activities, stayed at the bottom part of the list.

Unemployment and poverty The unemployment rate of the Peruvian capital exceeded the 7.5 percent mark during March 2024. While the figure appears as quite an improvement over 2020 and 2021 data, when it reached over 16 percent, it still hasn't fully recovered to the figures before the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, the poverty rate presented a growing trend from 2017 to 2023, reaching 9.5 percent of Lima's residents living under the poverty line.
