Mollusc aquaculture and malacological research in Santa Catarina State (Central Southern Brazil Region): a brief synthetic critical review

A. Ignacio Agudo-Padrón

Abstract
A brief synthesis and critical review about the malacological research situation and creation/production importance of aquatic molluscs capable of comercial handling in the Santa Catarina State territory, central portion of the Southern Brazil, is presented. Total of eight species, seven marine (Perna perna (Linnaeus, 1758), Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1795), Crassostrea rhizophorae (Guilding, 1828), Nodipecten nodosus (Linnaeus, 1758), Pteria hirundo (Linnaeus, 1758), Octopus vulgaris (Cuvier, 1797) and one freshwater forms (Anodontites trapesialis (Lamarck, 1819)) are directly envolved in activities of aquaculture, basically developed in so-called "marine farms" or "farming parks", mainly for current human consumption and, experimentally, production of cultured pearls. When it comes to regional research with molluscs, the Santa Catarina State historically have focused their effort and interest almost uniquely in the research and development of the creation/production of marine forms capable of comercial handling. Other general aspects of their knowledge are practically ignored and/or relegated to a background.

Keywords
