This aquatic palm grows along rivers of all water types and furnishes fruits that are gathered to feed pigs. The palm fruits also contribute indirectly to the human diet because they are eaten by frugivorous fishes, such as the much esteemed tambaqui, known as gamitana in Peru. Petiole strips are used to make baskets in some areas, especially in Peru.
