1 - Can you stipulate different moments in the conduction of this business since its creation? If yes, identify in the chart below the years that marked these moments, their characteristics, and observations that you think are interesting to point out about these moments.
Years	Characterization of the stage experienced by the business	Obs:

2 - Aquaculture in the Pacu Project, for having been a pioneer in the place and even in Brazil, must have required various forms of learning. First, write in the box below, at the beginning of the business, who did you use to incorporate specific knowledge related to aquaculture/pisciculture, such as research organizations and institutions, or contact with other producers (name them) or others (specify). On the other hand, put beside it how this learning happened, such as training courses, search for information in literature or in specialized institutions, partnership relations, research carried out in the enterprise, technical visits to other fish farms, participation in events in the sector, among others (specify):
Type of knowledge about	From whom you learned	How did you learn

3 - List below the partnerships you considered fundamental to the advancement of the business: 4 - Include in the chart below the types of specific competencies that the company has subsequently gained through contacts and partnerships related to precision aquaculture, including equipment that could provide more accurate information and decisions, to achieve a more efficient production system, with higher productivity and profitability:
Competencies on	From whom you learned	How did you learn

5 - Would you classify your business as precision aquaculture? ( ) yes ( ) no. Why? 6 - How have you been doing to find skilled labor or to train it? 7 - What has been the way to ensure environmental sustainability in the practice of aquaculture? 8 - What are the positive impacts of economic, social, among others, the Pacu Project already provides to Terenos? 9 - Besides the practices in precision aquaculture, what nature of innovation has been introduced at Santa Rosa Farm related to aquaculture? 10 - Are there future projects related to the Pacu Project? ( ) yes ( ) no. Can you tell us what it is about?

Technologicals Advances and Skills	Description
Larvae Production	On-demand production of larvae of the various native species, with safe and reliable packaging and transportation.
Species hybridization (genetic improvements)	The Pintado Real is an excellent hybrid species developed by the Pacu Project, with high commercialization potential.
Tanks and cages	Construction of tanks and cages for producers who want to start fish farming, providing all the necessary advice.
Earthwork and construction	It has a comprehensive operational structure of machinery and equipment that helps new producers who want to invest in fish farming. Besides mentoring, they have workshops for maintenance and repairs.
Self-cleaning filters, bio-filters (SBP), recirculation system (RAS)	They are equipment developed to assist in the management and raising of fingerlings. The self-cleaning filters assist in the removal of solid waste in expanding tank water; the single pass biofilters (SBP) increase water oxygenation; and the recirculation system (RAS) enables the farmer to save water.
Classifiers	It develops classifiers for fingerlings and juveniles that make it possible to separate them into different size classes.
Water Monitoring	Although they have them in books usually in English and Spanish, they have learned from the American technicians who arrived in 1998 onwards.
Fingerlings weight control	Evaluation and construction of the growth curve that makes it possible to follow the growth of the fish and verify whether it is within the expected size and weight or not.
Feed supply	In partnership with Nutron, they formulated the first fish feed in Brazil that did not exist at the time. In the beginning they did it because they had no one to buy it from. They used chicken feed.
Transportation and Packaging	All the technique came with Americans.
