Abstract

With the development of aquaculture production it was necessary to use new production strategies. Polyculture aims is to improve the productivity of the sector, bringing various productive and economic benefits to the producer. It is a system that meets the precepts of modern aquaculture, being responsible for a sustainable production, where excess nutrients that would cause pollution of the environment and would be lost will become biomass of high economic value. The polyculture system also brings improvements in water quality. The use of tilapia and shrimp being cultivated together, shows a promising alternative with increased income for the producer.
