Therefore, to ensure conservation to fish species, it is necessary to increase basic knowledge in order to provide guidelines and a scientific basis for conservation measures. The three main lines for the development of a fish conservation policy are public education and information, effective legislation and its application, creation of national park and reserves. It is often more realistic to consider conservation of some aquatic biotops holistically than the conservation of single fish species.
