00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In the third part of the "Amazônia Rural" YouTube video titled "Piscicultura Balbina Amazonas," the significance of pisciculture, or fish farming, as a profitable venture for family farmers, particularly in the Amazon region of Brazil, is emphasized. The video showcases the assistance provided by agricultural agencies to Amazonian peixe farmers and the need for skilled professionals in this field. The video introduces students and experts who are pioneers in pisciculture projects, with the center serving as a reference in Brazil for research, training, and all aspects of fish farming. Carlos, a final-year zootechnics student from the Federal University of Amazonas, is featured studying the reproduction of Tambaqui and other species at the center to strengthen his career. The video demonstrates various aspects of fish farming, from spawning to packaging, carried out by the center's experts. The selection and transportation of mature female Tambaqui for laboratory purposes are shown, with the engineer of fisheries, Ronan Freitas, explaining the process. The video also highlights a project in the São José do Atumã community, where Francisco constructed three dugout tanks with support from the municipal government, providing an opportunity for each producer to have two fish farming actions. The project in Presidente Figueiredo is also discussed, which aims to establish a 300-hectare pisciculture farm on Francisco's property, with assistance and training in environmental, sanitary, and feeding practices. The project receives support from the local Balbina station and technical assistance from a weekly visiting technician. The expectation is that the farm will soon be able to produce and sell fish, contributing to the local economy and increasing the income and satisfaction of rural farmers. The video emphasizes the importance of family farmers in producing 70% of the healthy food consumed in Brazil and encourages viewers to believe in the prosperity that comes from the countryside.

The project, which is still in its beginning stages, aims to establish a 300-hectare pisciculture farm on the property of Francisco, the first participant in the program. The project includes the provision of alevins from Balbina, which are then grown into larger individuals, called Curumim or tambaqui, on the farm. The producer receives assistance and training in environmental, sanitary, and feeding practices. The project also receives support from the local Balbina station and technical assistance from a technician who visits weekly to monitor growth and health.
