The pro-duction of fish for human consump-tion in 1990 was 3,000 tons per year. The period since the Declaration of Independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina (since 1992) During the war in Bosnia and Herze-govina, fish ponds were destroyed and the production was neglected. Such situation lasted from 1992 to 1995. Then in 1996, reconstruction andde-velopment offisheries in Bosnia and Herzegovina started. Since 1999 new technologies were introduced, capaci-ties were expanded, fish food of better quality was introduced, and all that en-abled the recovery of fisheries in Bosnia and Herzegovina and achievement of significant results in aquaculture. Basic information on hydrography in Bosnia and HerzegovinaBosnia and Herzegovina is char-acterized by favorable geographic, climatic, hydrological and ecological conditions, as well as physicochemical properties of watercourses for inten-sive farming of freshwater fish.

At the same time, the growth of pro-duction of sea fish and shellfish is an increase during the above men-tioned period: --Production of trout for consump-tion in Europe has reached over production, Bosnia and Herzegovina takes a high ninth place (Table 3.). Farmed fish is exported to neigh-boring countries (Croatia, Montene-gro, Serbia and Macedonia) and it is important to emphasize export to the countries of the EU since January The situation in aquacultureThere are several groups and asso-ciations in Bosnia and Herzegovina which monitor activities related to the production of fish. In this way there were founded the Aquaculture Group of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, then the Aquacul-ture Group of the Republic of Srpska and the Aquaculture Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The HACCP system was introduced to most fish farms and rules of good manufactur-ing practice (GMP) are applied.  The growth of production in aq-uaculture has also been followed by an active participation of veterinary of Veterinary Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the cooperation of the Department of Aquaculture of the Veterinary Faculty Sarajevo and representatives of veterinary in-spections of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska, a model was made and implemented which would enable control and monitoring of fish dis-eases in the aim of prevention, con-trol and eradication of infectious and parasitic diseases of fish and shellfish according to the standards of OIE. At the same time, relevant legal acts are also adopted which monitor and regulate issues in aquaculture of Bos-nia and Herzegovina, according to EU directives.

In order to establish self- con-trol, a special attention is given to ed-ucation of the owners of fish farms. Monitoring of viral diseases of fish is established, and they are: infec-tious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), in-fectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN), springviraemiaof carp (SVC) at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina which includes almost all full- system and most half- system fish farms.Veterinary office of Bosnia and Herzegovina appointed Department of Aquaculture of the Veterinary Fac-ulty Sarajevo for NRL. Except for di-agnosing viral diseases of freshwater fish, this department alsodiagnoses parasitic and bacterial diseases. During its work in the post- war period, Department for Aquaculture has determined the following diseas-es in freshwater fish: Viral: infectious pancreatic necrosisBacterial: redmouth disease, bac-terialgilldisease, bacterial nephritis, furunculosis of trout, carp erythroder-matitisFungal: SaprolegniaParasitic: hirling disease of trout, Ichthyobodosis, Ichthyophthiriasis, Hexamitiasis, Chilodonellosis, Tricho-dinosis, Gyrodactylosis, Dactylogirosis, Diplos tomosis, Botriocephalosis, Ligu-losis, Lerneasis and Argulosis.

Jažić)renewed from free watercoursesfish farming of good quality andWeaknesses of aquaculture devel-opment primarily are:fish foodpower It should be added that imported fish food is very expensive and that financial problems that fish farmers meet primarily apply to taxes. Then, government incentives are very symbolic. The problem of protecting springs, water reservoirs and the sea should be especially emphasized. Modernization of production should be certainly approached by purchas-ing equipment which can be used to double the production per area unit in comparison to earlier capacities. Therefore, the following are necessary:Aquaculture certainly guarantees export of fish to the EU through good manufacturing practice. Natu-ral resources are a guarantee and a high potential for fish production. It should be insisted on the production of autochthonous fish species for stocking of open waters but also the production of autochthonous fish species for export. At the same time, it means that the number of employ-ees will be increased.  There are many assignments wait-ing for producers and legislators, vet-erinary services and everyone includ-ed in aquaculture business. First of all, legislation should be completely coordinated with the legislation of of fish in terms of finding residues of veterinary drugs and other contami-nators should continue to be system-atically monitored. The accompany-ing laboratories must be accredited and equipped so that they can con-duct official researches. A legislator must ensure uniform registration of full- system farms.In order to improve aquaculture, the following forms of incentives need to be established:foodand export of fishexpanding capacitiesautochthonous fish species and their productionfarmsfrom spawn to fish for consump-tion-able potential from fish diseasesat the national level in the aim of prevention, controland eradi-cation of infectious and parasitic diseases of fish and shellfish ac-cording to OIE standardsveterinary service to consumer)ConclusionBosnia and Herzegovina has sig-nificant potentials in aquaculture.
