In general the Bolivian Government through its institutions has given little emphasis to the development of the fishculture of tropical species, zone of the country which moreover counts about 500 native species, very economical through fishing. At present in the department of Santa Cruz, the fishculture station El Prado is functional and produces the common carp and big headed carp. In general the national market for this species is nevertheless reduced.
