Romania Fishing
The numerous rivers emanating from the central
mountains, the
Danube, the Black Sea coastal waters, and Lake Razelm in
the Danube
Delta provide rich fishing grounds. The lower Danube
supplies
roughly 90 percent of the total catch, about 80 percent of
which is
consumed fresh. In 1985 approximately 260,100 tons were
produced,
and the 1986 plan called for 380,100 tons. Fish farming
was being
practiced on an increased scale in the late 1980s,
particularly in
the Danube Delta, where more than 63,000 hectares were
expected to
be covered with fish ponds by 1990.
