Over time, such a view has begun to change, especially since the settlement of certain fish and other marine organisms, have begun to notice some changes, which are caused not only inappropriate but also too intense fishing. It is believed that up to negative impact on the living marine resources, and the state of the entire marine ecosystem occurred in areas where fishing with bottom trawl fishing gear (trawlers) and seines. These tools are mainly used to catch benthic organisms that live in the coastal zone and on šelfovima, an area that is certainly the most intense use of, considering that this generates about 90% of the world catch of marine organisms. The goal of these studies estimate the impact of farming and fishing, trawling and seines not only on biodegradation of benthic habitat of marine ecosystems and destruction of eggs and larvae, and juvenile stages of fish and other marine organisms, but also the destruction of the biodiversity of marine ecosystems in the coastal marine zone, especially in sea grass habitats. Given the assumption that the fishing trawls (trawlers) and seines considerably sparse or even overfished coastal benthic settlement, and settlements around the coastal marine ecosystems, particularly sea grass habitat, and that is needed for their effective protection, it is necessary to undertake this research. As a way of fishing the initial factor in deterioration of harvested organisms, which can affect the speed and intensity posmortalnih change, reducing their hygiene, nutritional value and quality as well as procedures after the prey is found on board vessels may also have an impact on posmortalne changes these studies have aimed to determine the extent to which certain factors, particularly parasites (Anisakis, Cryptosporidium) affect the quality of the harvested organisms and their products. How are these fishing tools in our traditional catches of old, this study will have a special significance for our fisheries Croatian accession to the EU, when it will get to the application of EU regulations which can cause serious socio-economic problems, which would be exactly the results of these studies should be reduced to a minimum.
