This diploma thesis deals with the risk associated with fish production. Selected risks are further taken into account. The risks are further described and addressed using the FMEA matrix. The thesis contains a mathematical model that solves the optimal population of the pond in order to maximize profits. The model includes fixed input parameters, which includes the price of hatchery material and the market price of fish. Furthermore, the model contains random input parameters that are limited by the intervals and includes the growth coefficient and the size of the population in the pond. The optimization model is based on simulated data, which are based on real data and statistically determined estimates. The used data are processed into tables in MS Excel for better visualization. GAMS software is used for software implementation of the model.
