Albania is probably the first East European country to have introduced Chinese carps, first in 1959 and after that in 1969.
Although this species continues to be popular in northern Albania especially in Shkodra Lake, due to its traditional availability and appeal, from 1990 onwards interest in intensive and semi-intensive indigenous carp and Chinese carp cultivation has been declining, with increasing interest in commercial species; this has changed the structure of aquaculture in Albania.
In Albania the administration of the fishery and aquaculture sector is centralized and based in article 9 of the Albanian law "On fishery and aquaculture", Regulation No 1 dated 29.03.2005, for application of the legislation on fisheries and aquaculture.
