The paper provides a short overview of Brazilian aquaculture production and some of the influences affecting its development. Data on total and species‐specific production are provided along with the locations, numbers of producers, their market contributions and influences. The focus is on some of the key groups, not all, especially tilapia, tambaqui, shrimp, prawn and mollusc farming. The wider influences on production including markets, management practices, technology, resources and research and also consumer and global influences are briefly mentioned to locate the developments in a wider context.
