Evolução da produção aquícola no Estado da Bahia – principais mesorregiões, municípios e espécies cultivadas

Abstract

This document presents data about the production of the main species of fish reared in Brazil (Northeast region, state of Bahia), in the mesoregions and in the municipalities of Bahia. Thus, the objective of this work was to characterize aquaculture production in these locations, identifying the main producing mesoregion, producing municipality and the species of fish raised in the state of Bahia, in the scope of this study. Therefore, the methodology employed allowed to describe and characterize aquaculture production in these locations, in order to compile the information, so that producers, entrepreneurs and development agencies have described the locations with production indexes and thus can plan and organize their activities. activities. In order to make this possible, the data collection of the SIDRA-IBGE program was used in this work, compiling information on aquaculture production in the years 2013 to 2019 considering from macro to micro, that is, data from Brazil, from the state of Bahia, the mesoregions and municipalities of Bahia. Thus, the creation of the main species of fish in that state was taken into account. As verified in the data survey, the main species of fish produced in the state of Bahia and its surroundings is tilapia, followed by shrimp and tambaqui as the third species. Likewise, the municipality in Bahia that produced the most fish in the time scale determined by the work was Glória for tilapia, while for shrimp it was Valença and for tambaqui Barreiras. In this way, as each of these municipalities are inserted in a different Mesoregion, it indicates that the State of Bahia has productive hubs, causing an important productive diversity for the State. Therefore, with the result of the analyzes carried out, proposals were described to expand the production of the municipalities that have low production rates and to maintain or expand the production of the municipalities that have excellent production rates, aiming at the efficiency of production in the State in order to generate, more food, job opportunities and foreign exchange for the Municipality, State and Union.
