Despite the increasing production of tambaqui (annual growth of approximately 8%), no study has addressed the effects of farming on tambaqui's reproductive physiology and growth performance. As part of an institutional portfolio that aims to increase the production of tambaqui per area of cultivation, the present work details the tambaqui's gametogenesis and steroidogenesisduring10monthsoffarming, until they reached the market size.  aaquaculture  afish  agametogenesis  apuberty  areproduction  aColossoma Macropomum  aPeixe  aReprodução  aTambaqui  aSex steroid1 aLOPES, J.
