Aquaculture is a important activity for the global supply of animal protein, which has growing in recent years. Even with favorable conditions for the development of this activity, Brazil is not among the main producers countries. In Rio Grande do Sul, fish farming is not among the main productive activities. Thus, this study aimed to present the profile of fish farmers in the studied counties, characterize the activity of the fish farming production, technical assistance and management carried out by fish farmers, to point out the types of marketing channels used by fish farmers to commercialize fish in the region and to identify the strategies used by fish farmers in the question of commercialization. The research was carried out in the Northwest Mesoregion of the state, as this is the most prominent in the activity, and where the main fish producing counties of the state are located. Data collection took place from January to March 2020, were used data from 64 fish farmers, for convenience and using an interview script. The results showed that fish farming in the region has been developed mainly in small properties as an alternative income, the production systems have been varied, with carp being the main specie produced. The main marketing channels identified were intermediaries and slaughterhouses, with local marketing being little used and the main difficulty faced was related to the payment of production. Thus, it is concluded that in this region the activity of fish farming has been developed as a source of alternative income in small rural properties. In addition, intermediaries and slaughterhouses play a fundamental role in the production flow.
