Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a detailed evaluation of the hydro-ecological characteristics of the Western Balkans, an area characterized by still preserved inland waters and fish resources important for the European continent, as well as the biodiversity of inland waters important for the planet Earth. Freshwater ecosystems cover only 1% of the Earth's surface; however, they are a habitat for about 40% of fish species. At the same time, inland fisheries make less than 12% of the world's global fish catch, with 43% coming from low-income and food-deficient countries (Africa, South America, Southeast Asia).In Europe, the Western Balkans have significant fishing waters and fish resources, including the Middle Danube drainage (Sava, Drina, Velika Morava river systems), large ancient lakes (Skadar/Shkodra, Ohrid, Prespa, Dojran), and the Adriatic basin characterized by endemic and commercially important species. However, in contrast to the high fishing potential in a significant part of the Western Balkans, diverse and specific political, economic, and social factors largely had a negative impact on the state of fish resources.This volume is multidisciplinary and provides a sound knowledge base for scientific and practical fisheries. In addition, it may be a valuable guide for managers and conservationists worldwide to adapt methods and procedures for the ecological sustainability of fish resources under specific local, natural, and socio-economic conditions. Finally, the content is a good reference for natural sciences and agriculture students studying fish, fish resources, and fisheries sciences. It would improve their knowledge and perspectives on the challenges of sustainable use and conservation of inland water resources.…

About the Author
Prof. Dr. Vladica Simić, is a full professor at the Department of Biology and Ecology of the Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac. He has dedicated his scientific career to studying the biodiversity of freshwater macroinvertebrates and fish. In addition to taxonomy, he mainly researched the bioindicator properties of animal taxa to assess the ecological status of inland waters. He developed a method for assessing water quality and ecological status of inland waters: the Balkan Biotic Index (BNBI) and a model for assessing the sustainability and priority of conserving inland water biodiversity ES-HIPPO, as well as its modifications ES-HIPPOfish (commercial fish species) and ES- HIPPOcrayfish (for crayfish).
He published a total of 275 works, 70 of which are from the SCI list, and founded the Laboratory for Hydroecology and Water Protection, which includes the Freshwater Aquarium, which is not only a scientific organization, but also has educational significance(the first Public Aquarium in Serbia). In 2014, the Laboratory and the Aquarium became a special organizational unit of the Faculty: Center for Fisheries and Conservation of Inland Water Biodiversity, managed by Dr. V. Simić. Dr. Vladica Simić is the author of the database Biodiversity of Inland Waters of Serbia, conservation in ex-situ conditions "BAES ex-situ". The database is the result of a project entitled: "Ex-situ conservation of inland water biodiversity in Serbia" led by Dr. Vladica Simic (grant from the Ministry of Education and Science of Serbia, 2002-2007). The database has been regularly updated since 2007. He has participated in many national (grant projects 43002, 173025, 143023, 20107) and international EU projects (FP7 GLOBAQUA - 603629-ENV-2013-6.2, FP6 ALARM-50602, AQUAGAMETE COST Action- Food and Agriculture, COST Action FA 1205). He was the project manager (Embassy of the Kingdom of Norway, SRB-15/0009) which enables the establishment of the first laboratory for cryopreservation of fish sperm in Serbia. Dr. Vladica Simić was involved in the Joint Danube Research (JDS2 and JDS3). He has been delegated as a key fish expert for the EU NATURA 2000 project for Bulgaria.
He is the author of more than 60 Fisheries Management Programs in Serbia. Dr. Vladica Simić was an active member of the working group of the Ministry of Environmental Protection for the adoption of the Law on Protection and Sustainable Use of Fish Stock ("Official Gazette of RS" No. 184/16 and 95/18). He is the author of 2 books, the editor of a monograph on the Danube and the author of several chapters in monographs published by Springer. he is a participant in scientific expeditions to explore the Danube, Sava and Adige rivers in Italy. and lake Ohrid, Prespa, Dojran and Balaton.
Prof. Dr. Snežana Simić, is a full professor at the Department of Biology and Ecology of the Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac. She is engaged in scientific research in the field of hydrobiology with a special aspect related to algae and other hydrobionts and their importance in the monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, as well as the possibilities of their conservation.

(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
