Propuesta para un Proyecto de Evaluación de Stocks de Camarón de Profundidad en aguas de Cabo Verde (2010-2013)

A bibliographic revision on the fisheries research in the Canary, Madeira, and the Azores Islands related to stock assessment of the striped soldier shrimp (Plesionika edwardsii) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Pandalidae) was made. Biological information –reproduction, growth, mortality, recruitment– of the target species, selective technological developments –multiple semi-floating shrimp traps–, and know-how gained by the ICCM can give support to elaborate and execute an ICCM-INDP joint project, in order to explore and assess its insular stocks in the Capeverdian deepwaters (150-300 m). In the frame of the UE Trans-national Cooperation Programme MAC (2007- 2013), the next coming call for proposals seems to be an adequate source to fund it. This project should include some activities for the valorisation and promotion of this new shellfish product, as well as for scientific-technical and social divulgation, and for giving advice to the decision-makers. Lastly, with the aim of developing a new fishing activity in the Cape Verdes on a responsible and sustainable basis, authors have scheduled a second study phase. This should consist of a process of technology transfer, followed by an experimental fishing pilot project including a study on biological and commercial viability with the participation of the Capeverdian fishing sector.

Cultura Associativa e Estratégias de Organização no Rio de Janeiro Imperial:Associações de Imigrantes Portugueses na Corte (1860-1889)

Este estudo que ora se apresenta tem como finalidade mais ampla dar continuidade ao processo de expansão da pesquisa sobre o fenómeno associativo no Brasil, especialmente no Rio de Janeiro da segunda metade do século XIX. O trabalho analisa, em particular, as associações beneficentes de imigrantes portugueses na corte imperial, tendo como base documental os registros de criação ou reformulação dos estatutos das associações beneficentes de imigrantes criadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A ênfase recaiu no tratamento das associações beneficentes (de ajuda mútua, socorros mútuos), entendidas como manifestações de solidariedades horizontais, características do período de crise dos mecanismos culturais e políticos de dominação senhorial
