ANÁLISE DOS EFEITOS DA LEGISLAÇÃO VIGENTE SOBRE ESPÉCIES EXÓTICAS NA AMAZÔNIA LEGAL BRASILEIRA

Abstract

 The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between the rules in force in each state of the Brazilian Legal Amazon with the advancement of the creation of non-native species, proximity to compliance with the SDG  (Sustainable Development Objective) 15 and the possible impacts on the local biota. The research focused on the case study of Oreochromis niloticus and considered: 1) current legislation available on regulations regarding the creation of the non-native species Oreochromis niloticus and considered: 1) the current legislation published in the Official Daily of the states that make up the Legal Amazon (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Tocantins and parts of Maranhão and Mato Grosso) and the provisions of federal legislation; 2) the total number and production of O. niloticus fish farms by state, published in the 2020 Annual Report of PEIXE BR and data from the Agricultural Census in 2017 (IBGE, 2017). The survey of the laws demonstrated that state regulations differ from each other and that, concomitant with the possible legal release, the advancement of the creation of O. niloticus in the Amazon is a reality, being a risk to the Amazonian ichthyofauna. This scenario demonstrates the need for fisheries and / or aquaculture committees to work together in the entire Amazon biome for the implementation of SDG 15 and Brazil's commitment to comply with it.
