As part of our aquaculture initiative, the Croatian Center of Renewable Energy Sources (CCRES) has started the CCRES aquaponics program. This Web site is part of that program. We have attempted to include as much information as possible for beginning and experienced fish farmers. While the information compiled here is not all-inclusive, we have tried to be as thorough as possible, covering all the various types of aquaculture relevant to Croatia. If you would like to submit any information for our Web site, please contact us.

Human and Ecosystem Health

CCRES ’s research program in Human and Ecosystem Health focuses on the connections between people and freshwater. Our researchers are improving public health and fostering ecosystem sustainability through basic and applied research on stormwater runoff, sewer overflows, beach health, known and emerging environmental contaminants, and other issues related to water quality and quantity.

CCRES’s research in this area is critical as climate change, escalating human activity and development, and a growing world population place increasing stress on water resources used for human consumption, food production, sanitation, and recreation.

Human and ecosystem health research encompasses toxicology, microbiology, genetics, genomics, public health, urban planning, and other related disciplines.
