Abstract

The fishing regulatory measures that have been applied over the years in the Republic of Moldova in natural

ecosystems have not always been effective - either through the faulty organization of the exploitation of fish reso- urces, non-compliance with the fishing regime, failure to assess the state of fish resources, the ineffectiveness of ameliorative measures etc., or through the imperfection of the normative framework.

In this paper, for the first time, an analysis of the existing normative acts in the field of protection of aquatic biological resources in the Republic of Moldova is made in historical and content terms. Also, an attempt was made to harmoniously integrate the scientific results from the field of ichthyology into that of environmental law.

Following the multi-systemic approach of the existing normative framework in the field of exploitation and protection of aquatic biological resources, scientifically argued recommendations and proposals were submitted to improve the legislation in the field.

Keywords: protection of aquatic biological resources, regulatory act, fishing gear, minimum sizes allowed for fishing, environmental damage.
