Abstract: This research work is due to the need to recognize and characterize the concept and management of wastewater from fish farming in its role as an environmental pollutant. This planning is among the steps to follow to obtain a sustainable fish farming that is friendly to the natural ecosystem. Although it has been adapted by some, the fish farming activity still presents difficulties due to the lack of commitment of the social parties from the fish farmer to the state organizations in their poor support of projects. The objective of this article is to recognize and evaluate the current situation of the management of wastewater from fish farming and its negative environmental effects in the lack of knowledge of the concept of wastewater management that fish farmers in the area have, in the environmental, economic and social spheres. The work was developed in the municipality of Valparaíso with the Livestock and Forestry Association of the La Curbinata area (AAPEFOCUR), together with those partners who have fish lakes. Regarding the instruments used to collect quantitative data, the interview was conducted with the leader of the association, as well as observation in the region. Regarding the results and discussion, a minimal understanding of the leader regarding management and a great deficiency of the accompanying entities specialized in wastewater was found. To guarantee a good connection between fish farming and the environment, it is necessary to first change the perception and knowledge of fish farmers in the area regarding the management of wastewater resulting from it.
