The paper presents the level of self-sufficiency and import dependence of fish for the period 2014-2020. The source of data was the data of the B&amp;H Agency for Statistics and Indirect Taxation Authority of B&amp;H. The following methods were applied: descriptive statistics, trend data and balance sheet method. On average, 3.161 tons of trout were produced in B&amp;H per year, 82% of total fish production. Carp were produced 510 tons per year. Other freshwater fish are becoming less and less attractive for production. B&amp;H’s fish self-sufficiency is low (54%) and the average rate of import dependence is about 76%. The consumption of fish per capita is 2 kilograms. It is necessary to improve the education of the population throughout B&amp;H about the importance of fish nutrition and the health aspects of its consumption.</p> ER -
