Today, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MPRR) lifted the temporary fishing ban in the area of Lake Skadar, after the Faculty of Science (PMF) of the University of Montenegro, as the competent scientific institution, received an opinion that there is no risk of overfishing due to the height water level, it was announced today from that MPRR.
The MPRR added that the PMF's opinion states that this year there is no danger of a large and easy catch of carp due to the low water level, because there is a large amount of undecayed underwater vegetation in the coastal and coastal zones.
"In accordance with the stated opinion, this scientific institution recommended to abolish the introduced temporary ban. Accordingly, the Ministry issued an Order on amendments to the Order on fishing bans, fish stocks and minimum sizes of fish and other aquatic organisms below which fishing is prohibited, revoking the measure temporary ban on all fishing activities on Lake Skadar, issued on January 21," reads the statement of the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans.
