          Abstract

          El camarón de río del sur Samastacus spinifrons, es una de las seis especies de la Familia Parastacidae (Crustácea, Decapoda, Astacidea) que habita las aguas dulces de Chile desde el río Aconcagua hasta la península de Taitao, y actualmente, la única que es considerada atractiva para la acuicultura nacional. En este artículo se revisa su potencial para la acuicultura con fines comerciales o de repoblamiento. Para ello se analizan: a) las ventajas y desventajas biológicas de esta especie ante eventuales actividades de cultivo en confinamiento; b) las experiencias de cultivo que a la fecha se han efectuado en Chile haciendo énfasis en sus respectivos aportes; y, c) las probables causas que han impedido que su cultivo se consolide en el país. Finalmente, de acuerdo a los análisis antes señalados se plantea una propuesta de cultivo que se considera la más adecuada para S. spinifrons.

          Translated abstract

          The freshwater crayfish Samastacus spinifrons, is one of six species of the Family Parastacidae (Crustácea, Decapoda, Astacidea) inhabiting freshwaters in Chile from the Aconcagua River to the Taitao Península, and the only one that is currently considered attractive for national aquaculture. In this article, we review the potential of this species for aquaculture with commercial or restocking purposes. For this, we analyze: a) the species' biological advantages and disadvantages in an eventual situation of confined culture; b) previous culturing experiences carried out in Chile, with an emphasis on their respective contributions; and c) the causes that were likely to have prevented the consolidation of culturing this species in Chile. Finally, the above analyses provided the basis for our proposal of the most appropriate way to culture S. spinifrons.
