Abstract

The concept of “growth poles” is widely used to support public interventions aimed at regional economic development. Over time, this theoretical framework has been refined to incorporate sustainability principles without compromising its core idea, thereby making it a valuable approach for mapping industrial chains related to the environment. Within this context, fish farming poles were identified in the Brazilian Amazon, where this activity is emerging as a viable alternative for income generation and food security, using Local Moran's I or LISA. Additionally, the growth rate of fish farming cultivation from 2015 to 2022 for each pole, measured by linear regression, was used as complementary analysis. The results suggest that the “field of forces” are well-delineated, with tambaqui production established in Rondônia and Roraima, while other spots of the Brazilian Amazon have emerged cultivating two or more species, both native and non-native. The key recommendation for sustainable economic development in the region is to leverage the experience accumulated in fish farming poles to support new linkage effects, eco-friendly projects, and the protection of hydrological basins.
