Fishery took important place in economic and social development of Dubno in XVI—XVIII cc. There were two large ponds around Dubno in that period. Also they are well-known from historical sources as Surmycky pond and Ivansky pond. Fishery tools, which were found during archeological investigations in Dubno testify about methods of fishing, which were used by the population of the town. They are led and clay sinkers for the nets, iron fishing spears and spud, copper tackle. The fish remains from Dubno castle and Spaso-Preobrazhensky monastery belonging to eight fish species (pike, roach, indeterminate carp fish, sturgeon, common rudd, common bream, european catfish, european perch). These two prosperous centers had obviously the largest sizes of cached fishes.
