    The objective of this work was to estimate the sustainable biomass of pirarucu Arapaima gigas (Cuvier, 1829) juveniles kept in small volume net cages. During 200 days four 1-m3 net cages were stocked with 21 fish/cage and had an initial total biomass of 0.84±0.14 kg (21 fish/cage). The net cages were placed in a 50-m2 pond with constant water flow. Conditioning factor, feed conversion, specific growth rate and gain showed that the sustainable biomass of pirarucu juveniles for intensive rearing in 1-m 3 net cages was approximately 29 kg. Fish length at the end of the trial, in relation to the reduced net cage space, was a limiting factor to obtain good biological indices

    O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da densidade de estocagem sobre a homogeneidade do crescimento de juvenis de pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) em tanques-rede de pequeno volume. Foram usados 12 tanques-rede de 1 m³ em um viveiro de 120 m² perfazendo três tratamentos (15, 20 e 25 peixes/m³) com quatro repetições. Os peixes foram estocados com peso médio inicial de 10,1<FONT FACE=Symbol>&plusmn;</FONT>0,3 g e distribuídos homogeneamente (p>0,05) entre os tratamentos. Os coeficientes de variação do crescimento e do fator de condição não apresentaram diferenças significativas (p>0,05) ao contrário do consumo e da conversão alimentar aparente (p<0,05). O consumo foi inversamente proporcional ao incremento da densidade, indicando que o aumento da densidade de estocagem favoreceu o melhor aproveitamento do alimento. Não foram observadas diferenças comportamentais entre os tratamentos. O crescimento dos juvenis de pirarucu não é influenciado pela densidade de estocagem ou por interações intra-específicas.<br>The objective of this work was to evaluate the stocking density over fish growth homogeneity of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) juveniles in small volumes cages. Twelve 1 m³ netcages were used in a 120 m² earth pond consisting of three treatments (15, 20 and 25 fish/m³) with four repetitions each. Fish were stocked with an initial mean weight of 10.1<FONT FACE=Symbol>&plusmn;</FONT>0.3 g and homogeneous distributed (p>0.05) between treatments. Coefficient of variation for growth and condition factor did not present significant (p>0.05) differences, contrary to consumption and apparent feed conversion (p<0.05). Consumption was inversely proportional to the increment of density, indicating that stockings densities increases are favorable to a better feed use. There were not any observed behavior differences between treatments. Juveniles pirarucu growth was not influenced by the stocking density or intraspecifics interactions
