The tambaqui or cachama: fish from Amazonia.

The Cachama (in spanish) or the Tambaqui or Pacu (in Brazil) is a fish originating from Amazon and Orinoco basins.

There are two species which are cultivated mainly in Central and South America, the white one (Piaractus brachypomus) and the black one (Colossoma macropomum) and their hybrids.

It's a fish which has an extraordinary growth and which can be adapted to intensive breeding. The reproduction must be made in an artificial way with hormone injection. This fish doesn't reproduce in a natural way in fish culture ponds.

Its flesh is firm and tasty. The colombian and the brazilian markets are very demanding.
