Conteúdo: 	In 1959 Louisiana's Department of Wildlife and Fisheries initiated an intensive alligator Alligator mississippiensis management programme with the object of rebuilding and maintaining the State's alligator population at a figure capable of sustaining a closely regulated annual harvest. It was diverse in scope and involved diligent enforcement and legislative efforts, restocking of depleted areas, and extensive research. This paper reports on research concerning the propagation of the American alligator in capacity. The research programme was in two main parts: a field study segment investigating basic life history and a culture programme which was based on the biological facts derived from field investigations. The alligator farming study demonstrated the feasibility of rearing alligators in captivity and reinforced the concept of culture as a viable source of animals for commercial and conservation purposes. We were able to study captive alligators and make observations that were impossible under field conditions, such as reproductive activities, stocking densities, food requirements and social order.
