The fishing regulatory measures in the Republic of Moldova, which have been applied over the years in natural ecosystems, have not always been effective: either through the faulty organization of the exploitation of fish resources, 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. 

Scientific reports for 2022 on the implementation of research projects within the State Program 2020-2023 will be presented on 15 December 2022, starting with 9.00 am, in the Small Hall of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova.
