Abstract

This paper presents a literature review on pacu artificial reproduction, incubation and fingerling culture of pacu in ponds. The techniques of artificial propagation facilitate egg supply for a great variety of fish set aside to be raised in ponds and other impounded water bodies, as well as for superintensive systems. Those techniques made it equally possible to introduce several important fish species in separate geographical areas. Besides, they allow incubation, eggs eclosion and larvae culture under protected conditions, independently of climatic conditions. Depending on the system perfection, 20 to 70% of the eggs are liable to hatch and produce fingerlings. On the other hand the survival rate under natural conditions is generally lower than 1% of eggs
