Abstract
This paper represents a contribution to the knowledge of studies in ichthyology of Croatian open freshwaters published in the Croatian Journal of Fisheries from 1938 till 2014. Collected data provide information on the trends in Croatian ichthyology and give directions for further research. 80 papers all together were published. Overall analysis showed that majority of papers dealt with fish populations of open freshwaters, especially with analysis of fish condition and length-weight data, while papers related to the fish pathology were present in smaller numbers. Molecular analyses of fish population were not reported in this review. For the purpose of major contribution to the protection and quality management of Croatian ichthyofauna, further promotion and development of the Croatian Journal of Fisheries is required.
