Abstract
Total surface area of Polish inland waters amounts to about 470,000 ha (1,161,000 acres). In this about 305,000 ha (753,000 acres) are represented by lakes, 104,000 ha (251,000 acres) by rivers and dam reservoirs, and 60,000 ha (145,000 acres) by ponds. The most important users of these waters are State Fish Farms and the Polish Anglers Association. State Fish Farms use over 91% of total lake area and 86% of total pond area. The Polish Anglers Association uses 70% of total area of rivers and dam reservoirs and 6% of total lake area. Additionally, the Polish Anglers Association has the rights to carry out sport fishing on the majority of lakes managed by the State Fish Farms.
