Evolution and Measures of the Fish Fauna Recovery in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract:

The paper proposes assessments and discussions on the Moldavian fisheries sector from the point of view of the evolution of the fish fauna and of the national measures for re-population of the main hydrographic basins. The territory of Moldavia is considered to be a rich area of fish stocks, but in the last period there has been a significant reduction of the fish species in the natural aquatic ecosystems, manifested especially in the areas of outbreak. The Republic of Moldavia has small quantities of surface water and the pollution manifested in recent years has led to the deterioration of aquatic resources, with negative effects on natural fauna, aquaculture or even the national agricultural sector. Research conducted within the paper highlighted the importance of maintaining stability in natural aquatic ecosystems and the need for national measures to restore balance in aquatic ecosystems. The Republic of Moldavia can be considered as a model for the neighboring countries, investing in repopulation actions of the Dubasari and the Stânca Costesti Lakes about 39.4 tons of juveniles, financed from the national funds. In order to achieve long-term effects, it is necessary to combine these actions with measures at national level to reduce pollution, protect endangered fish species and interventions to rehabilitate areas affected by the human factor.
