Carrying capacity: concepts (Beveridge, 2004)
Cage aquaculture production needs to be sustained by surrounding environment, considering:• What determines the productivity of the environment – in this case, total Phosphorus in water.• What the farmed fish consume/produce, in terms of wastes – here, we consider P loads.• How the environment responds to waste loadings – such a good question!• How much charge is permissible – in this case, Brazilian environmental regulation states the limit for water total P of 30mg/m3 in reservoirs to farm aquatic animals (this is the limit of total P for a lake be classified as eutrophic (Vollenweider, 1975).
Environmental carrying capacity for cage aquaculture for freshwater lakes can be defined as the maximum amount of P that can be loaded keeping total P below the levels assumed to indicate eutrophication

Cage culture of tilapia in large reservoirs is an emergent aquaculture practice in Brazil. Due to the availability of large amounts of suitable quality waters in hydroelectric dams at Grande, Paranapanema and Tietê rivers, there is a large but still undetermined potential for cage aquaculture in the upper Paraná river basin.

In this work, are presented evaluations of two among 18 suitable sites at Ilha Solteira reservoir, one of the biggest at Brazil (1200 km2) and one among at least 12 at Xavantes reservoir.
Only 1% of the reservoirs area is allowed to be occupied by aquaculture.
Brazilian government will assign part of the Ilha Solteira studied sites to receive small scale, familiar aquaculturists.

Former fisheries collapsed after installation of hydroelectric dams, due to ecological constrains for fish production.
Today, fisheries are scarce, resulting on low incomes for fishers.

After many attempts of stock enhancement, tilapia cage culture have became the first ecologically and economically feasible option for fish production in southeastern Brazil hydroelectric dams, since impoundment of rivers in the 60’s.

• Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is reared in intensive system• 8-16 m3 cages made of synthetic materials• up to100 kg fish/m3 at the end of cycle• fish weights 500-800 g at the end of cycle• one or two cycles of 4-8 months per year, depending on water temperature.

Carrying capacity was estimated based on the Dillon
& Rigler (1975) mass balance model, considering
limnological data to evaluate area-specific
Phosphorus loads from tilapia cage culture that can
be assimilated in each selected site.

Limit for environmental carrying capacity for P assimilation (L, in grams of Phosphorus/m2/year)
L = (P*Z*θ) / (1-R),
P - is the allowable phosphorus increase, in mg/m3; is the difference of total P from analysis of water samples collected with van Dorn bottles, and the limit stated by environmental agencies (30 mg/m3) and by Vollenweider (1975) as an indicator of eutrophication
Z - is the mean depth obtained from acoustic bathymetry, in meters;
- is the rate of water exchange, i.e., how many times the water is totally exchanged in a year. (this is calculated as 1/residence time); and
R - is the sedimentation coefficient, obtained from direct measurements with sediment traps (desirable), or from numerical modeling based on hydro dynamics data.

• Modeling provided evidence for the importance of feed phosphorus content and availability for determination of total allowable production
• Proper inputs of limnological field data are expansive and demands sophisticated hydrographic studies.
•The availability of sites with similar features for cage culture in southeastern Brazil reservoirs indicates a significant potential for tilapia production at global scale.
