Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the collective mullet fishing in Ilha do Mel Island from the theory of reciprocity in Temple (2003) and Sabourin (2009; 2011a; 2011b), as a basis for the observation of an empirical case in the coast of Paraná. The aim is to highlight the practices, relationships and reciprocity structures among fishermen by analyzing its implications for a more sustainable local/territorial development. It was found that even though relations of reciprocity and exchange coexist, there is a predominance of social and economic relations marked by the logic of reciprocity through collective fishing and these relationships contribute to material subsistence and social reproduction of these fishermen.
