Question

Fishing zone in Brazil

Answer 1

In Brazil, fish landings occur in 17 coastal States and their many fishing terminals, as well as other harbours and sites in every coastal state.

Inland fisheries occur in nine States and the Capital.

For marine fisheries, the two most important coastal States are Santa Catarina and Rio de Janeiro, which together represent around 29% of the total catch. The main area for inland fisheries is the State of Amazon, with around 6% of inland fisheries production.
