USO DE ALIMENTOS ALTERNATIVOS NA ALIMENTAÇÃO DE TAMBAQUI (Colossoma macropomum)

The farming and husbandry ofColossoma macropomum: From Amazonian waters to sustainable production

“…Induced spawning and artificial propagation of tambaqui date back to the 1970s, with the first studies by researchers from the Departamento Nacional de Obras Contra a Seca (National Bureau of Actions Against Drought—DNOCS) 109 . Since then, several manuals and field guides have been published, on topics ranging from broodstock formation and maintenance to commercial breeding 22,27,110‐113 .…”

“…However, it is essential to reflect on how much this research has resulted in practical techniques to boost culture of this species. Concerning reproduction and larviculture, it seems that little progress has been made since the beginning of induced spawning and artificial propagation of tambaqui in the early 1970s through the late 1980 109,110 ; the techniques and procedures used today are practically the same. The early 110,111,123 and most recent production manuals 27 need to be revised to incorporate recent technical advances regarding tambaqui reproduction.…”
