TROUT FROM THE LAKE ON EUROPE'S MOST EXPENSIVE MARKETS

In the fish farm at Lake, one of the three largest in Europe, over 800 tons of premium California trout are produced annually.

Confirmation of the fish's quality came from the Faculty of Chemistry in Banja Luka, which conducts research in the waters of the Pliva River.

"Our trout is delivered to the market in Switzerland within 24 hours of being caught in the nets," said Snežana Ružičić, the mayor of Lake, to the SeeSrpska portal.

Fishermen from all over the world come to Lake for trout and grayling, as well as to relax by the blue-green river.

"We advocate for the involvement of the University of Banja Luka and the relevant ministry through public-private partnerships to establish a fisheries institute here. The goal is to attract young people from around the world who are engaged in fish farming through science to come here to prepare their scientific and professional papers," Ružičić said.
