Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the socio-environmental conditions of fish farming activities in the municipality of Arari, Maranhão, Brazil, carried out by the associates of the Association of Fish Farmers of Arari. A structured approach was used to characterize both the social and environmental dimensions, and an adapted sustainability assessment tool with 32 response options was employed to evaluate the level of sustainability of the enterprises. The results showed that 85% of the fish farms were classified as good, indicating a positive environmental impact and a satisfactory degree of concern for the environment. This study highlights the importance of sustainable fish farming practices and the need for appropriate government support and technology transfer to enhance regional socioeconomic development. It provides valuable insights into the socio-environmental conditions of fish farming in the municipality of Arari and its potential contribution to sustainable development in the region. These findings can serve as a guide for policymakers, researchers, and fish farmers interested in promoting sustainable fish farming practices in the region
