RESUMO:

Podocnemis expansa is one of eight species of the genus Podocnemis that stands for its wide distribution
and for being a historically abundant resource of great food and economic importance in the Amazon.
On the Tapajós River, P. expansa spawns mainly in the reproductive site called Monte Cristo board,
where the monitoring and management activities carried out by the Amazonian Chelonian Program have
been successful in increasing the production and hatchlings survival, reflecting the population growth
over the years. The main objective of this study is to make a model capable to create scenarios that
represent the P. expansa population dynamics, based on the results of reproduction, population structure
and capture, consumption and trade studies, making it possible to assess its current status of conservation
and the potential for sustainable use. The scenarios built intend to demonstrate how the P. expansa
population has responded to the conservationist management carried out by the federal government over
the years, although under strong capture pressure. For this, we will evaluate the environmental and
anthropic factors that influence the P. expansa population dynamics in the Tapajós River, through
information regarding birth and mortality rates, number of adult females estimate, population structure
and sex ratio.
