%X Although still very scarce, available knowledge on population studies on continental (land and freshwater)molluscs in the territory of Santa Catarina State is shortly analyzed and discussed. Based on the IUCNˇ°Restricted Distributionˇ± criterion, a total of 54 nominal species, including 31 terrestrial gastropods, 15freshwater gastropods and 8 limnic bivalves, were considered strong candidates as threatened taxa. Out of allthese endangered species, only 5 limnic forms (2 gastropods and 3 bivalves) were previously analysed, in someway, at population level.
