Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) reduce water consumption, using recycling technologies thereby producing significantly less wastewater than traditional fish farms The limited use of water makes it much easier and cheaper to remove the nutrients excreted from the fish, as the volume of discharged water is much smaller and solids and diluted waste are more concentrated than in the water discharged from a traditional fish farm and therefore much easier to process. Recirculation aquaculture can therefore be considered as most environmentally friendly way of producing fish at a commercially viable level. In contrast to European Union countries where registration and operation of RAS facilities are strictly regulated by law, Serbian legislation appears to be vague and unspecific about the matter. Serbia is making significant advance to becoming one of the European Union countries so it needs to harmonize its legislation to the one in force in the Union. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the existing legislation in the European Union and research papers, making a proposal for future Serbian regulation, concerning the functioning, establishment, and management of this type of most modern aquculture facilities.
