Summary: During the last five years investigations were conducted on several common carp and rainbow trout ponds, as well as on the Croatian open waters. The hydrochemical conditions on carp ponds were unfavourable during the summer, with the most frequent changes in the quantity of O2, BOD and COD. The use of potassium salt improved water quality a lot. The qualitative structure and quantity of phytoplankton did not show significant differences after the use of mineral fertilizer and chicken manure. The best economic results were achieved when cereal feed was followed by fertilization. The extended investigations of carp and trout intensive feeding resulted in formulation of several commercial feeds. The use of inactive yeast in carp starters resulted in favourable specific mass increments, low feeding coefficients and higher survival. The use of nutritive antibiotic as growth promotor gave good results. Ichthyohaematological investigations showed the importance of the analyses of periferal fish blood in the fields of fish condition and ichthyopatology. In the river Sava, 23 species and subspecies of fish were detected, dominated by Leuciscus cephalus and Cobitis spp. The ichthyomass varied a lot. Bentic biomass was dominated by amphipods, with higher sporadic development of gastropods and larval Trichoptera. Statistically significant negative correlations (p<0.05) were determined between the quantity of Hirudinea and several other groups of invertebrates. The growth of common carp in Vransko lake and the influence of the introduced freshwater fish on lake zooplankton were also studied. The work, started on fish genetics, gave the base for the future investigations in the fields of quantitative genetics and cytogenetics.

Keywords: freshwater fishery, culture, open water, ecology, cyprinids, haematology, physiology, fish genetics

Research goals: The main goal of these investigations is to acquire new knoweledge in imporoving fish culture and protection. The follwing problems will be examined: -Ecoligal investigations (hydrochemical and hydrobiological) on different techologies in fish culture and endangered waters. The influence of some chemical parameters on fisheries, the role of biological productivity in fish production and ecological changes. -The problems of fish nutrition in different technologies. Achieving better additional feed, wich can ensure better physiological use, better mass increments and survival (fingerlings in particular) and the reduction of feed coefficients. -Determination of hematological and biochemical indicators on orfder to diagnose fish condition and health, in connection with different abiotic, biotic and nutrition conditions. -Determination of present state of ichthyofauna and fisheries in the open waters. The obtained results will enable the dermination of ecological and production standards of water quality in fisheries. The complete feeds will be improved, together with the physiological condition and health state of fish. The natural food can be better used. These improvements can reduce the losses and stabilize production on fish-farms, as well as protect fish communities in the open waters.
