- Abstract
The game fund surface of Vâlcea County is of 529.265ha, distributed in 47 funds with a climate that ranges from moderately continental in Sub-Carpathian hills up to a mountain climate in high areas. Eight species were selected from the county's main game and fish species, namely: fallow deer (Damadama L), bear (Ursusarctos L), fox (Vulpes vulpes L), badger (Meles meles L), marten (Martes martes L), otter (Lutra lutra L), huchon (Hucho hucho) and carp (Cyprinus carpio). These species were classified based on their ordering after 19 criteria (harvesting period, harvesting cost, harvesting knowledge, tools necessary for harvesting, the harvesting's process complexity, harvesting development, knowledge about the species, distribution domain, market potential, market request, market "celebrity", raw product's price, the price of the derived product, derived products portfolio). Grades from 1 to 8 were given for each analysed species, resulting that the most important species are fallow deer and huchon, while the least important ones are otter and badger. The county presents a high potential for harvesting and trading game species as the forest and fish areas are very well represented. As such, the game and fish species have the proper space and environment to reproduce and develop.
