F1: Forest area, stands and forest types

F2: Forest species Forest species according to number of trees Forest species according to volume Tree species number in forest associations

F3: Forest health condition

F4: Damages in forests Forest fire area and volume

H1: Main game species dynamic of populations

Fish1: Inland water fish species 110 species and subspecies in Serbia. In Danube river basin has 79 species. In Adriatic sea basin has 16 native species. There is no data for Aegean sea basin.

Fish2: Index of fish biomass and catch Fish catch in Serbian rivers. (* New methodology of SEPA and SORS ) Structure of inland water fish species catch

Fish3: Aquaculture production With regard to fish production in ponds has increased by about 100 %, compost spent about 100 % and food consumed by about 35 %.

SU1: Forest management and the consumption of forests Forest products manufactured in state forests.

SU2: Forest growth and cuting The ratio of annual increment (about 9 millions m3) and annual cutting ( m3) is less than 3:1.

Conclusions 14 indicators have been annual reported. Over the 50 indicators were calculated for different national and international Conventions and Reports.
