| Summary: | This work aimed at developing a methodology for the production of cysts of “branchoneta” Dendrocephalus brasiliensis, accomplished at the Paulo Afonso Fishculture Station, BA, attempting to viabilize the use of branchoneta as an alternative food. The research consisted of two treatments (with and without inoculation of D. brasiliensis cysts) carried out at two different times (May and October), with two repetitions to each treatment. Four semiexcavated ponds, each with an area of 2000m2, were used. After ANOVA (P<0.05), it was verified that treatment with inoculation showed the best results: 20.75±2.31g of cysts in the treatment ponds. This suggests an average cyst production of 2075g/ha/year.
