SUMMARY:

Artisanal fishing is developed by autonomous producers, whose production is intended for their own consumption and the local market. The artisanal fishing activity is significant for the Brazilian economy. Despite their importance, many small-scale fishing communities live in conditions of exclusion. The shellfish gatherers are women who bring in their experiences the marks of disparities of ethnic-racial disparities and have their lives marked by socioeconomic vulnerability, exposed to precarious working conditions and various health risks. In this sense, this study aims to relate the knowledge and eating practices of shellfish gatherers on the island of Itaparica with their working conditions and health status. The study used the descriptive qualitative approach, of an analytical nature. Semi-structured individual interviews and application of the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale were conducted. The analysis of the narratives was performed based on hermeneutics-dialectics. The results revealed that the mariscing makes it possible to artisanal shellfish gatherers basic supplies for subsistence, however the conditions precarious work conditions compromises the quality of life and has a negative impact on health conditions, as well as food and nutrition insecurity, which is a reality among fishermen, even the mariscagem being a direct and indirect method access to food. It is concluded that it is necessary to understand the work process with the shellfish gatherers and its respective relationships with the conditioning aspects of the health/disease process, aiming at an inclusive approach to health care and surveillance to workers' health, in order to provide the necessary support to this population, as well as the creation of institutional policies for this category of workers. It is considered extremely important to identify and characterize the determinants of the various forms of food and nutritional insecurity in order to promote the development and implementation of public policies to combat hunger and poverty.
