7.5 Lagoon exploitation

There are no fishing or aquaculture activities in the lagoons. Fishers periodically manually collect a crab, locally called kanjoc, Upogebia pusilla, in the Tivat Salina. These crabs are used as excellent bait for longline fishing for sparids (Joksimovic, 2006).

The only production of the area is the one reported from a shellfish farm just outside the Tivat lagoon, which probably has an influence on it. Its annual production of Mediterranean mussel is 40 tonnes.
The monitoring of birds populations, including ichthyophagous species and their interactions with fish populations, is placed under the responsibility of the Natural Protection Institute of Podgorica.
