Aquaculture in the Central Amazon: experiencing stream cage fish farming at a remote community

Rogério Souza da Silva

ABSTRACT

We report an experience of matrinxã Brycon amazonicus farming in a stream cage at the farther rural community of Presidente Figueiredo city (Central Amazon). The operations followed the standard technical procedures of water analysis, biometry and handling. Result shows a bad crop performance, which we can say is mostly due to structural and economic deficiencies, a common problem among local farmers. We believe, however, this report to be important and interesting as a document of the difficulties and some practical solutions used by the fish farmers in theses far communities.
