The study is an analysis of fish farming poles in the Brazilian Amazon, since they work as both income source and food security solution, besides being essential to achieve sustainable economic development. Local Moran’s I (LISA), in combination to growth rate estimated by linear regression, was applied to detect municipalities with the potential to become “agropoles”. According to the results, there are “fields of force” settled along the Amazonian borders, mainly in Rondônia and Roraima states. Native species “tambaqui” (Colossoma macropomum) production prevails in both states, while some clusters have incorporated multiple native species. This approach reduces financial loss risks and enhances regional production potential. Study findings point towards significant opportunities to create new sustainable aquaculture poles across the Brazilian Amazon. This process depends on sector-specific challenges to be overcome through coordinated efforts by producers and policymakers.
