Fish community in reservoirs are formed by species that inhabited the river that was dammed, and the species that were introduced by restocking. The Perućac reservoir is no exception. This lake was created by constructing a concrete dam on the Drina river bed. The works on the construction of the dam were carried out between 1952 and 1962. The dam is 461 m long and 93 m high. The dam created a reservoir, 52 km long, between 60 m and 1800 m wide and with the maximum depth of 85 m. Around 340 million cubic meter of water are accumulated in the lake basin. The average annual flow of the Drina river, in the area of the dam, is 349 cubic meter/sec (Stanković, 2005). On the other hand, Perućac reservoir represents the main fishing water on territory of the National park Tara. This article analyses the development of the ichtyocenosis in this reservoir, since 1978 until the present.
