Konya Ovası Projesi Bölge Kalkınma İdaresi İllerinde Su Ürünleri Avcılığı ve Yetiştiriciliği

Abstract

In the provinces covered by Konya Plain Project (KOP) Regional Development Administration, fishing and aquaculture statistics were examined and the current situation was revealed. Approximately, 1.12% of Turkey's total aquaculture production is carried out in KOP. Rainbow trout (98.5%) is the most commonly cultivated species in the region and tilapia (0.9%) and carp (0.6%) are grown in small amounts. No aquaculture is carried out in Kirikkale and Aksaray provinces, and the highest production is in Kirsehir (35.2%), Yozgat (24.5%) and Karaman (24.3%), respectively. In 2018, a total of 3.259 tons captured in KOP, corresponding to 10.8% of total fishing catch in Turkey. During 2016-2018, the highest mean yields from fishing was realized in Yozgat (36.5%) followed by Kirsehir (30.0%) and Konya (23.6%). With regard to species composition, big-scale sand smelt had the highest catch rate with 37.5% and followed by gibel carp (36.5%), common carp (12.8%), zander (5.8%) and crayfish (2.4%), respectively. The catch rate of all other species was around 1.0% or less. In order to increase the amount of yields from fisheries in the KOP region, strategies should be developed in line with the principles of sustainable fishing and aquaculture-based production should be promoted in suitable areas.
