Sažetak

The tuna is one of the most appreciated sea fish. Tuna meat is extremely nutritive since it contains a high percentage of protein and very few fats. This makes it a perfect meal and excellent choice for a healthy diet and prevention of various diseases.It represents one of Croatia most important export products which is targeted towards the Japanese market. In Croatia, the tuna is most commonly breeded and fed in special cages so it can meet the requirements needed for export. The years of uncontrolled fishing of tunas’ have helped the development of the black market which brough to question the survival of the species. In that regard, the International comission for the preservation and protection of the atlantic tuna (ICCAT) was established and it’s core function is monitoring the state of the resources of tuna and similar species. Croatia mostly exports fresh, chilled or frozen meat of the atlantic bluefin tuna and imports processed and canned tuna of different sorts. Quantitatively speaking, the export and the import are quite the same, but, because of the high quality of the products, exports bring more revenue and keeps a positive foreign trade balance. Tuna farming in Croatia represents a relatively young activity, regardless a very important one which needs to be encouraged and promoted because of it’s importance to the Croatian economy and foreign trade policy.
