The rcljitivc inpcrtancc cf each of these sectors can be seen in the

The prodcrdnrnt position of the Northern Sector is accounted for olnost 

 entirely by the catch of the sardine knc-.'m as "sardinhaverdadeira-grande", 

 the raj or supply of vhich ccnos frcK the zone around Ilha Grande. This fish 

 is by far the most abundant of all species in Sac Paulo waters and the nost 

 comrionl5'' consur:ed in Sac Paulo households. 



The fish ca.iight in the Central and Southern Sectors are, as their con- , 

 sid&rably greater value per v;eight indicates, of a rr.cre plebeian rank in the 

 piscatorial v.'crld.

E.ecent years have soon' a decided drop in the nuribor of professional 

 fishercen operating as iijidividuals and a comparable increase in the mimber 

 working as crcv.'S in the notorized fleet, v;hich already produces all but a spnll 

 fraction of i.hc total outturn of fish. 



This change is seen in the fclloiTing data on rrofessional fishermen 

 licensed in the State:

Fisherman operate as enterprisers rather than as salaried -."/orkmcn. '.Then 

 fishing as T>"rx of a group, each man receives a share of the money realized 

 in each irenturo pToportionate to his skill and assignment. 



Hovirs of labor and wcrking eenditicns are left ].argely uncontrolled.
