Abstract
The current aquaculture model is given by assigning the use of waterbodies by public administration to the the private sector so that it exploits natural existing resources. It occurs that this economic exploitation generates consequences for the environment. Thus, the present work questions the legal analysis of the attribution of the ownership of use and the regulation necessary to hinder the extrapolation of limits, which may lead to negative ecological impacts, disrupting the natural life in the water course and causing damage to diffuse rights. For this, the dialectical method was used through the observance of Brazilian legal bases that deal with the theme. The methodology used is critical and dialectic. Thus, critical and documental analysis is used to evaluate data and normative criteria related to the practice of aquaculture, according to Brazilian and international data. It was concluded that the assignment of waterbodies should not be understood as a mere territorial assignment, and therefore a regulatory framework for public goods, addressing regulation of impacts, multiple uses and grants based in the national environmental policy (Política Nacional do Meio Ambiente – PNMA) and National Water Resources Policy (Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos – PNRH) is crucial.
