Abstract

Fish farming is an aquaculture activity that is characterized by the creation of freshwater fish in rural properties in a planned and controlled manner. The regions of the State of Amazonas have plenty of water resources, a favorable condition for the development of fish farming and available and needed labor but has been surpassed by the production of the other states of Brazil. The micro-region of Rio Preto da Eva has a profile of small family producers, with the favorable nature conditions for fish farming with emphasis on the production of tambaqui fish (colossoma macropomum) with export potential, needing to mitigate blocking factors for the expansion of the scale production. The objective of this work was to evaluate the factors that prevented the expansion of the scale of production and, based on the bibliography researched on the subject, were proposed techniques of management and entrepreneurship. The methodology used in this bibliographic research collected public information provided by official organizations and previous scientific publications. The results of the research showed that the same difficulties have been reported in scientific works developed from the year of 2010 to the year of 2018. We concluded that the central problem has been searched untiringly in the diversified researches on the activity has always become catalogs of problems to be solved. In this way, we suggested that the development entrepreneurial orientation in the fish farming activity and the grouping of the small producers of the region into cooperatives to mitigate production and distribution costs and make feasible for the increase of the scale of production.
