The Czech Fish Farmers Association was founded in 1991 as a successor of a pre-war tradition of the Czechoslovak Central Association of Fish Farmers. Its task is to keep and strengthen a position of highly professional and well prosperous Czech fish farming including its environmental connections and out-of-production social functions of fish-ponds. The Czech Fish Farmers Association represents and asserts the interests of both its members and all the Czech fish farming in local agriculture and food bodies, it is a long-term member of the Federation of the European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP), it has a connection even to the other European fish farmers associations. Under a title Rybníkárství (Fish-Pond Farming), it publishes the own periodical, and has its own trade mark Ceský kapr (The Czech Carp). In the beginning of 2005, the Czech Fish Farmers Association has 60 members representing the decisive fish farms including the research / educational bodies and two national anglers unions. Ing. Jan Huda, Director General of the Trebon Fish Farm (the largest one in the Czech Republic), is the president of the Czech Fish Farmers Association (who is voted for a period of one year), and Ing.
