  abstract = {{A}s {A}rapaima gigas is one of the most valuable species for the growing production of {A}mazonian aquaculture, knowledge of its reproductive behaviour and its application to increase reproduction success in captivity is of great importance as no hormonal spawning induction technique exists for this species. {A}n acoustic positioning system ({LOTEK} {I}nc.) was used to observe the interactions of adult fish to better understand the formation of mating pairs. {F}ish were placed in a 4,500 m(2) aquaculture pond over a 6-month period in the {IIAP} field station of {P}ucallpa, {P}eru. {T}his paper describes the methodological protocols used to set up and test the hydrophone array and presents the methodology used for the analysis of the huge amount of collected data. {T}his methodology is illustrated by the analysis of a 6-day period for a mating pair that showed a spawning event. {T}he results indicated that male and female occupied mostly one preferential area in one pond edge where the nesting area is located. {D}ifferent activity patterns were observed during the spawning event, with male and female being closer during the spawning day. {T}he results also showed that male travelled less distance than female during the studied period. {F}inally these results demonstrated the suitability of such equipment to monitor fish interactions at fine spatial (sub meter) and temporal (5 s) scales in confined environments like aquaculture ponds.},
