We assessed the knowledge of small-scale fishers in the most richest and biodiverse reef complex of South Atlantic and verify that large body-sized fishes were depleted since four decades ago. An increasing number of species was mentioned as depleted, mainly by elder fishers, a typical scenario of shifting environmental baselines.
