Servifo de Cafa e Pesca (Service of Hunting 

 and Fishing)^ ('35) 



History: In 1912 an attempt was made to establish 

 a Directorate of Hunting and Fishing, in the 

 Ministry of Agriculture but the endeavor was 

 not successful. In 1923 the service was placed 

 under the Ministry of the Marine and made sub- 

 ordinate to the Directorate of the Merchant 

 Marine. This arrangement for various and 

 obvious reasons was unsatisfactory. As a result 

 of further consideration of the subject, by a 

 decree of March 8, 1933, a Servigo de Caga e 

 Pesca was established under the National De- 

 partment of Animal Production of the Ministry 

 of Agriculture. 



Location: Rio de Janeiro. 



Organization to which attached: As stated above, 

 Ministry of Agriculture, National Department 

 of Animal Production. There is a Conselho de 

 Caga e Pesca (Council of Hunting and Fishing) 

 composed as follows: One representative of 

 Servigo de Caga e Pesca, one representative of 

 fishermen, one representative of hunters, one 

 representative of vessels engaged in transporting 

 fish, one representative of the Navy, one repre- 

 sentative of the National Museum, four members 

 representing special subjects. 



Purposes and scope of activities: There are under the 

 Service three sections: 



1. Secgao de Criagao (Section of Propagation). 

 This section has charge of pisciculture, of rearing 

 molluscs, and of parks for game refuges. 



2. Secgao de Investigagoes (Section of Investi- 

 gations). The functions of this section are to 

 study the biology of forest animals, hydrobiology, 

 biochemistry, plankton including micro-plankton, 

 the nutrition of fishes; to promote studies of the 

 technology of fishes and of their preservation and 

 of their subproducts. It has charge of zoological 

 parks and aquaria, and of public instruction, 

 particularly of hunters and fi.shermen. 



3. Secgao de Industrias (Section of Industries).
