San Marino, a landlocked microstate surrounded by Italy, does not have a traditional fishing industry due to its lack of direct access to the sea or significant inland water bodies. Historically, fishing in San Marino has been limited to small-scale, recreational angling in local streams and artificial lakes, rather than commercial operations. The most commonly caught species in these waters are freshwater fish such as trout and carp, which are sometimes stocked for local anglers. As a result, San Marino’s fishing activity is minimal and primarily serves leisure rather than economic purposes, with no notable history of large-scale fish catches or industry development. The country instead relies on imports from neighboring Italy to meet any demand for seafood or fish products.
