the fishing activity throughout the Upper Paraguay River Basin has huge financial and biological importance. This retrospective study investigated the occurrence of injuries caused by fish of the Pseudoplatystoma genus (spotted catfish or pintado and striped catfish or cachara) in professional fishermen of the Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul State.
we collected information through a questionnaire, showing that fishing is carried out by workers with low level of education, mainly adults or seniors with low financial gains.
in Miranda town, 126 of 315 fishermen were interviewed and 38 individuals reported injuries (30.16%). In Corumbá town, 355 of 627 fishermen were interviewed, and 111 (56,61%) reported injuries. The lacerated lesions were the most common, associate with edema, erythema, radiating pain to the root of the limb, paresthesias and local necrosis. More rarely, they reported the occurrence of fever, cardiac arrhythmias and cold sweating. These manifestations may be associated with late secondary infections or envenomations caused by the toxins in the stingers of the fish. Many questionable and inappropriate treatments are used, sometimes aggravating the injuries.
the freshwater professional fishermen need guidance on first aid measures and prevention of accidents caused by these venomous fish.
巴拉圭河上游流域的捕鱼活动具有巨大的经济和生物学意义。这项回顾性研究调查了南马托格罗索州潘塔纳尔湿地专业渔民中由真须鲶属鱼类（斑点鲶鱼或平塔多鲶鱼以及条纹鲶鱼或卡查拉鲶鱼）造成的伤害情况。
我们通过问卷调查收集信息，结果显示从事捕鱼工作的人员教育水平较低，主要是经济收入微薄的成年人或老年人。
在米兰达镇，对315名渔民中的126人进行了访谈，38人（30.16%）报告有受伤情况。在科伦巴镇，对627名渔民中的355人进行了访谈，111人（56.61%）报告有受伤情况。撕裂伤最为常见，伴有水肿、红斑、向肢体根部放射的疼痛、感觉异常和局部坏死。较少见的是，他们报告出现发热、心律失常和冷汗。这些表现可能与鱼类毒刺中的毒素引起的晚期继发感染或中毒有关。人们采用了许多有问题且不恰当的治疗方法，有时会加重伤势。
淡水专业渔民需要在急救措施以及预防这些有毒鱼类造成的事故方面得到指导。
