	abstract = {The inland lake Vistonis and the coastal lake Lagos in N.E. Greece are bordering ecosystems protected by National Laws, European Directives and International Conventions and they are part of the {\textquoteright}National Park of East Macedonia and Thrace{\textquoteright}. However, their ecological characteristics are totally different. The lake Vistonis receives higher amounts of fresh water and pollution than the lake Lagos. These environmental sensitive wetlands traditionally constitute areas for semi-extensive aquaculture that is a key factor within local economy structure. Grey mullets (fam. Mugilidae), sea bass and sea bream, are the dominant fish species in the fishery production of both of lakes but the lake Vistonis production also includes carps and eels. Detail fishery production data were collected from local fishery co-operatives that manage both ecosystems and Fishery Direction for the last decades (1974 - 2004) concerning the total production and the dominant fish species separately for each lake ecosystem. Then, time-series analysis was performed aiming to generate production models for the last decades independently for each lake. Modelling includes {\textquoteright}ARIMA{\textquoteright}, {\textquoteright}TREND{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteright}MOVING AVERAGE{\textquoteright} methods for short-term production forecasts for each lake. Fishery production models can be an useful tool for local authorities for decision support purposes with alternative management plans. Variations in fishery production in these bordering lake ecosystems involve the necessity to apply the proper management policy for each lake, well adapted with the natural environment along with the upgrading of the fishery techniques and infrastructure.},
