AbstractEight species of Strepsiptera have been reported so far from Florida, but none from the Bahamas. This study reports five species from southern subtropical Florida, and one species from Andros Island, the Bahamas. Of these, Floridoxenos monroensis gen.nov., sp.nov. Kathirithamby and Peck (Corioxenidae: Corioxeninae) is described and added to the subfamily Corioxeninae based on the 4-segmented tarsi without claws; Strichotrema beckeri (Oliveira and Kogan) (Myrmecolacidae) of Brazil is reported from the United States for the first time; a second record for Elenchus koebelei Pierce (Elenchidae) from Florida is reported; and Caenocholax fenyesi Pierce (Myrmecolacidae) is a new record for Bahamas. This latter species is generally a widespread parasite of fire ants in the southern parts of North America, in the West Indies, and in the northern Neotropics.

High Level

Artisanal fishing communities include some of the ‘poorest of the poor’. Using data from gill net fishers in Malaysia, the paper presents the first technical efficiency study of an artisanal fishery and finds that artisanal fishers are poor, but enjoy a high level of technical efficiency. If the relatively high levels of technical efficiency found in the Malaysian gill net fishery existed in other artisanal fisheries, it suggests that targeted development assistance that has traditionally been focussed on the harvesting sector may be better directed to other priorities in artisanal fishing communities.

The Subject

Considerado a principal política destinada à pesca artesanal brasileira nas últimas décadas, o Seguro-Defeso (SD) garante aos pescadores renda mínima no período de Defeso, quando ocorre interrupção forçada do trabalho. Este artigo busca realizar uma análise das contradições relacionados ao SD, abordando sua importância frente às características socioeconômicas dos pescadores, ao mesmo tempo em que problematiza a ação estatal restrita a esse benefício, entendendo-o como incapaz de fortalecer as comunidades pesqueiras nos conflitos socioambientais que enfrentam em seu dia a dia. A metodologia deste trabalho envolveu uma revisão de literatura sobre o tema, o uso dos dados do pagamento do SD e dos microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua (PNADC) do ano de 2018. Os resultados apontam para a importância do benefício, mas reiteram o preterimento da dimensão sociopolítica.Palavras-chave: Seguro-Defeso. Pesca artesanal. Conflitos socioambientais.PUBLIC POLICIES AND SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICTS: problematizing artisanal fishing insuranceAbstractConsidered the main policy intended to support the Brazilian artisanal fishing in recent decades, the Seguro-Defeso (SD) grants fishermen a minimum income during the Defeso season, when forced interruption of work occurs. This paperobjective is to analyze the contradictions related to SD policy, analyzing its importance in relation to the socioeconomic characteristics of fishermen, while questioning the efficiency of the state action restricted to this benefit, understanding it as unable to strengthen fishing communities in the socio-environmental conflicts that they face. The methodology of this workinvolved literature review on the subject, the use of the SD payment data and the microdata of the National Continuous Household Sample Survey (PNADC) of the 2018 year. The results of this paper point to the importance of the benefit, but reiterate the neglect of the socio-political dimension.Keywords: Seguro-Defeso. Artisanal fishing.

In the spring of 1930 the International Expedition to the Bahamas made several traverses over the shoals west of Andros Island in order to study the sedimentation of calcium carbonate in this region, and along three of these lines water samples were collected at regular intervals. The chlorine content of each of these samples was determined by the author in the Chemical Laboratory at the University of Princeton, New Jersey, and the total salinity was obtained by calculation.
