Let E and F constitute a Banach pairing. We prove that the algebra of F-nuclear operators on E, Nf (E), is amenable if and only if E is finite dimensional and is weakly amenable if and only if dim KF ≦ 1, and the trace on E⊗F is injective on KF. Here KF is the kernel of the canonical map E⊗^F →NF(E). On the route we find the corresponding statements for the associated tensor algebra, E⊗^F.
