- Abstract
Brazilian fish farming is expanding in Brazil, presenting exceptional annual growth. However, during the larviculture phase, where fish is inserted in excavated ponds, due to their vulnerability and size, they become susceptible to diseases and predators. Aquatic insects feature among the predators in fish farming, with the Odonata order being the most prominent. Despite their predatory action during the larvae phase of fish, the Odonata order plays an important role in the aquatic environment and is considered as bioindicators. Despite its importance, to solve these problems, fish farmers end up using agrochemicals or providing intense liming, which can have serious consequences for both fish and water quality. Therefore, in face of this scenario, further studies on fish farming sustainability with management or control of those predators would be important in order to mitigate the environmental impacts. Thus, the objective of this paper was to address the history of Brazilian fish farming, the problems faced in larviculture due to predation by Odonata and to offer sustainable control alternatives.
