Fishing is traditional and existential activity of our coastal population. Zadar county fishing is mainly represented in fishing (and preparing) small pelagic fish and tuna farming. Zadar county fishing fleet has approximately 35% share in Croatian national catch. Most important species are pilchard and anchovy, which are basis for processing industry and main food in tuna farming. Croatian fleet has around 60 commercial companies.
It is important to emphasize tuna farming as it is most active part of mariculture, as it relates to a large number of activities and encourages development of fishing industry. Tuna farming uses up to 55% of small pelagic fish cath, and the rest of needed food is imported.
