Current state and perspectives of fresh water fishery in Serbia

Abstract

The observed misbalance between fisheries production and consumption in Serbia, has caused rapidly increasing prices. Production growth in lowland carp ponds, will be the most adequate, because there is no sufficient natural resources for the production of trout and other salmon fishes in Serbia. The authors has put forward several proposals for growing production of warm water aquaculture. Among them are the following: - higher level of exploitation and utilization of the existing ponds; - strict application of agrotechnical standards; - establishing of extension services; - tax allowances for warm water fisheries production; - building of modern food manufacturing factories and chain stores for selling fast food made of carp fish.
