Introduction
University of Bihać, Biotechnical Faculty together with 13 partners Universities and institutes from EU countries, Western Balkans and the Republic of Turkey took part in the Erasmus + project “Educational Capacity Strengthening for Risk Management of Non-native Aquatic Species in Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro)”- RiskMan. (ref. no. 619384-EPP-1-2020-1-TR-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP). The project was approved and funded by the European Union through the ERASMUS + CBHE program (Erasmus + Capacity Building in Higher Education Call EAC / A02 / 2019 – Selection Year 2020
The project team of the University of Bihać, Biotechnical Faculty consists of:
- Assoc Prof. Azra Bakrač, PhD
- Asst Prof. Emir Mujić, PhD
- MA Subha Džafić, senior Assistant,
- Nermina Badić – Office of Academic and Student Affairs at UNBI
Aims and objectives
The main aim of the project is to promote the education of stakeholders and high education in the field of risk assessment of non-native (NN) species and to stimulate research and cooperation on the management of NN species in the Western Balkan Region.
Aquaculture is currently one of the most important human food resources globally and is an important contributor to food security, income generation and employment in local economies. Nevertheless, in order to remain competitive, the aquaculture industry is diversifying over the years involving the use of alternative species. Regrettably, this practice has led to the introduction of non‐native (NN) species to natural water bodies that have been found to exert adverse impacts on native species and ecosystems. Ecological impacts of invasive alien species range from single-species interactions and reduction in individual fitness of native species to population declines, local extinctions, changes in community composition and effects on entire ecosystem processes and wider ecosystem function. Moreover, non-native species can lead to major economic damage and significant impacts on human well‐being and, along with climate change, are widely recognized as one of the main threats to aquatic biodiversity.
Given that risks can be reduced merely by communicating and educating industry and the general public to the hazards associated with the release of non-native organisms into the open environment, the risk analysis process involves protocols through it is possible to identify potentially invasive species and assess the risks associated with those. Due to its zoogeographical position and the high degree of endemism the Western Balkans region’s biodiversity is particularly vulnerable to the negative impacts of NN species introductions, leading to high levels of threat to native biodiversity. This further highlights the importance of considering the impacts of NN species in freshwater ecosystems in the countries of this region. Consequently, these efforts are expected to contribute to aquaculture sustainability, reduce economic distortion and support countries having limited regulation on both conservation and aquaculture issues.

Erasmus+ projektu “Jačanje obrazovnih kapaciteta za upravljanje rizikom od alohtonih (ne-nativni) vodenih vrsta u zemljama Zapadnog Balkana (Albanija, Bosna i Hercegovina i Crna Gora)”
Uvod
Biotehnički fakultet Univerziteta u Bihaću zajedno sa još 12 partnerskih Univerziteta i instituta iz zemalja EU, zemalja Zapadnog Balkana te Republike Turske uzeo je učešće u Erasmus+ projektu „Educational Capacity Strengthening for Risk Management of Non-native Aquatic Species in Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro)“ – RiskMan. (ref. no. 619384-EPP-1-2020-1-TR-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP). Projekat je odobren i financiran od strane Europske unije kroz program ERASMUS+ CBHE (Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education Call EAC/A02/2019 – Selection Year 2020:
Projektni tim Univerziteta u Bihaću, Biotehničkog fakulteta čine:
- prof. dr. Azra Bakrač,
- doc. dr. Emir Mujić,
- MA Subha Džafić, viši asistent,
- Nermina Badić – Ured za nastavu i studentska pitanja na UNBI
Cilj projekta
Glavni cilj projekta je promocija obrazovanja tzv. stakeholdera, te promocija visokog obrazovanja u oblasti procjene rizika od alohtoni, ne-nativnih (eng. non-native) vodenih vrsta i poticanje istraživanja i saradnje na upravljanju ovim vrstama u regiji Zapadnog Balkana.
Kako bi ostala konkurentna industrija akvakulture koje je trenutno jedan od najvažnijih ljudskih prehrambenih resursa na globalnom nivou, te ima važan je doprinos u sigurnosti hrane, stvaranju prihoda i zapošljavanju u lokalnim ekonomijama, tokom godina se diverzificira i uključuje alternativne vrste. Nažalost, ova praksa dovela je do uvođenja alohtonih (ne-nativnih) vrsta u za koja je utvrđeno da imaju negativan utjecaj na autohtone vrste i ekosisteme. Ekološki uticaji invazivnih stranih vrsta kreću se od interakcija pojedinih vrsta i smanjenja tzv. individualne kondicije autohtonih vrsta, pa i do opadanja populacije, lokalnih izumiranja, promjena u sastavu zajednice i uticaja na čitave procese i funkcije ekosistema. Pored ovoga, alohtone, ne-nativne vrste mogu dovesti do velikih ekonomskih šteta i značajnog uticaja na dobrobit ljudi, te su uz klimatske promjene, široko su prepoznate kao jedna od glavnih prijetnji vodenoj biološkoj raznolikosti.
S obzirom da se rizici mogu umanjiti samo komuniciranjem i edukacijom industrije akvakulture i šire javnosti o opasnostima povezanim sa puštanjem alohtonih, ne-nativnih organizama u otvoreno okruženje. Proces analize rizika uključuje protokole kroz koje je moguće identificirati potencijalno invazivne vrste i procijeniti rizike povezane s tim. Zbog svog zoogeografskog položaja i visokog stepena endemizma, biodiverzitet regiona Zapadnog Balkana je posebno ranjiv na negativne uticaje uvođenja alohtonih vrsta, što dovodi do visokog nivoa ugroženosti autohtone biološke raznolikosti. To dodatno naglašava važnost razmatranja uticaja ovih vrsta na slatkovodne ekosisteme u zemljama ovog regiona. Shodno navedenom, očekuje se da će aktivnosti i napori kroz ovaj projekat doprinijeti održivosti akvakulture, smanjiti ekonomsku distorziju i podržati zemlje koje imaju ograničenu regulativu, kako u pogledu zaštite, tako i u vezi s akvakulturom.

Final conference, Mugla (Turkey) 11/09-15/09/2022
Published on October 3rd, 2022
As a part of the Erasmu+ CBHE RiskMan project project final conference was held in Mugla (Turkey) in period 12/9-15/9 of 2022. The final conference, as a project participant from the University of Bihać, was also attended by prof. Azra Bakrač. At the conference, the results of the project were presented, as well as all the activities that were carried out as part of the project. Prof. Azra Bakrač presented the results of pilot testing on invasive species in BiH. As a result of the pilot testing in BiH, very significant facts were observed regarding the issue of invasive species in the territory of BiH, namely: the concept of invasive species is almost unknown among the local population of BiH, very little attention is paid to this issue, the legislation on the issue of invasive species differs in different parts of BiH, and the most common invasive species in the area of BiH detected by the local population are babushka, crayfish, sunfish, perch, dropsy.In addition to these activities, a presentation was held at the conference regarding the three new syllabuses, as one of the results of the project. These syllabuses will be incorporated into the new study program of the II study cycle of the Biotechnical Faculty, department Engineering in Environmental Protection.
U periodu od 12.09.-15.09. 2022. godina održana je finalna konferencija u Mugli (Turska) Erasmu+ CBHE RiskMan projekta. Finalnoj konferenciji, kao učesnik projekta sa Univerziteta u Bihaću, prisustvovala je i red. prof. Azra Bakrač. Na konferenciji predstavljeni su rezultati projekta, kao i sve aktivnosti koje su urađene u sklopu projekta. Prof. Azra Bakrač je na konferenciji predstavila rezultate pilot testiranja po pitanju invazivnih vrsta na području BiH. Kao rezultat pilot testiranja u BiH uočene su vrlo značajne činjenice po pitanju problematike invazivnih vrsta na području BiH, a to je da je pojam invazivnih vrsta gotovo i nepoznat među lokalnim stanovništvom BiH, da se vrlo malo pažnje pridaje ovoj problematici, da se legislativa po pitanju invazivnih vrsta razlikuje u pojednim dijelovima BiH, te da su najčešće invazivne vrste na području BiH koje je detektovalo lokalno stanovništvo babuška, signani rak, sunčanica, smuđ, vodena kuga. Između ostalih aktivnosti, na konferenciji je održana i prezentacija po pitanju silabusa, a tri nova silabusa kao jedan od rezultata projekta bit će inkroporirana u novi studijski program na II ciklusu studija Biotehničkog fakulteta pod nazivom Inženjerstvo u zaštiti okoliši.

RiskMan meeting about invasive and horizon aquatic species in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Published 23 June 2021
A meeting among two RiskMan partner universities, University of Sarajevo and University of Bihać, was held on 23th of June and chaired by Prof. Marina Piria, PhD, from University of Zagreb. The aim of the meeting was to review the list of invasive aquatic species in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to invasive species, the list includes horizon species (species that are currently being discovered in some of the neighboring countries and which could soon be found in our country as well). It is important to pointout that this is the first decisive list of invasive aquatic species in our country so far, and as such it will give a good insight when it comes to the possibilities of monitoring invasive species in our country.
Dana 23.06.2021. godine s početkom u 13 sati održan je sastanak UNBI sa UNSA a koji je vodila dr. sc. Marina Piria iz Zagreba. Cilj sastanka je bio pregled popisa invazivnih akvatičnih vrsta u Bosni i Hercegovini. Pored invazivnih vrsta na popisu su se našle horizon vrste (vrste koje su trenutno otkrivene u nekim od susjednih zemalja i koje bi u skorije vrijeme se mogle nađi i kod nas). Bitno je istaći da je ovo do sada prvi popis o invazivnim akvatičnim vrstama u našoj zemlji, i kao takav dat će dobar uvid kada je riječ o mogućnostima praćenja invazivnih vrsta u našoj zemlji.
