Other Peacock Fisheries
Several secondary fisheries exist for giant peacock bass, outside of the three core regions. Many are close to Manaus, the largest, most developed Amazon city. Most are outside of protected waters and may be subject to pressure from commercial net fisherman as well as subsistence fishing. Here are a few of the better known areas.
