Abstract
- The aim of this research is to compare the average individual weight of the four most important fish species in fisheries (Cyprinus carpio, Silurus glanis, Esox lucius and Sander lucioperca), caught by angling in different parts of the Sava River catchment in Croatia. Significant differences were expressed between the counties along the Sava River catchment, with the smallest specimens (p˂0.05) caught in Vukovar-Sirmium county. Artisanal fishery is mostly developed in that part of the Sava River, along with angling in both countries – Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Furthermore, the inflow of the River Bosna passes through urban and industrial cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It can be concluded that implementing recreational fishing surveys with the specific aim of obtaining data on average individual weight is useful for fishery management.
