Abstract

bstract: The mollusk farming is a fast growing activity in Brazil, especially in Santa Catarina Sate that has the largest production on the Santa Catarina Island bays. Brazilian government, through rules and recommendations has established a monitoring and controlling program of production areas focusing on quality of food originated from mollusk farming. The international market demanded various studies to ensure the sanitary quality of producing areas to enable the meat exportation. In this sense an environmental study was applied in Santa Catarina Island Bays (SCIB) based on, but not limited to, the European requirements from the Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (CEFAS). This work encompassed a pricing survey and economic feasibility evaluation to the development of an environmental and sanitary study to support the definition of adequate areas for mollusk production. The total cost was R$ 910,968.95 and this work shows that the implementation of environmental studies in similar areas in the North and South  bays are economic feasible.
