  abstract = {{T}he {M}adeira {R}iver, which drains one of the major tributary river basins of the upper {A}mazon, contributes to small-scale fisheries in {P}eru, {B}olivia, and {B}razil. {T}his paper provides a base-line of fisheries resources and their status in six sub-basins of the {M}adeira {R}iver: upper {M}adre de {D}ios {R}iver basin ({P}eru), {B}eni and {M}amore {R}iver basins ({B}olivia), {I}tenez or {G}uapore {R}iver basin ({B}olivia and {B}razil), middle {M}adeira, and (two sections of the) lower {M}adeira {R}iver ({B}razil). {D}ata were collected between 2009 and 2011, before the completion of two hydroelectric dams in the {B}razilian portion of the basin. {B}iophysical, social, and biological indicators were used to characterize the fisheries. {T}he results show an overall small-scale multispecies fisheries pattern but with notorious differences between the {M}adeira sub-basins. {T}he {B}eni and {M}amore sub-basin shows the largest flooded area, with associated higher total fisheries yields. {T}rophic level of the catch, diversity, and mean weight of fish caught were shown to be very sensitive to exploitation level, river water type (white or clear water), flooded area, and the introduction of {A}rapaima gigas in {B}olivia. {T}he {B}olivian fisheries are characterized by less exploited stocks, whereas stocks in {P}eru and {B}razil show signs of intensive exploitation, resulting in fisheries of smaller bodied, lower trophic-level species. {L}anding data in the upper basin show a predominant reliance on migrating fish resources, which might be vulnerable to the construction of dams. {T}hese data serve as a baseline to evaluate anthropogenic impacts on the {M}adeira {R}iver basin fisheries in the future.},
