Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the infl uence of bait (fi sh or chicken viscera), day/night time, tidal phase (ebb or fl ood), and cycle (spring or neap) on brachyuran crabs catchability in
the Sergipe River estuary. Among the evaluated factors, only tidal cycle has a signifi cant eff ect, with higher catches at spring tides. Light pollution and biological interactions with non-native
crab species seems also aff ect the composition and abundance of caught organisms. However,bthe eff ects of these factors need to be better evaluated in further studies.
