• The trophic structure is a determining factor of energy flux in ecological communities. The characterization of the trophic structure is extremely
  important for the understanding of natural and anthropogenic changes in ecosystems. The objectives of this research is to determine the trophic position in the food web of fish species exploited by fishers and compare the local ecological knowledge of fishers with stable isotope data.
