| description | The objective of this research was to determine the characteristics of the aquaculture activity in the department of Ucayali. A questionnaire was applied to 88 fish farmers in the districts of Callería, Campoverde, Padre Abad and Neshuya. The results show that 73 % of the Aquaculture Centres are AREL, although 78.4 % have a production level of less than 3.5 t. The ponds are earthen, with a predominance of ponds in the area. The ponds are earthen ponds, predominantly CA with 1-2 ponds (54.6 %). Only 22 % have their water tested once a month. The stocking density was 1 fish/m2, using 423 kg/ha of lime, less than a quarter of what is recommended. In addition, due to the high cost of feed, they also use natural feed, increasing the average culture time by two months. The species they cultivate are gamitana and paco. It is concluded that aquaculture production in the department of Ucayali is atomised and has a low level of technification |
