Saros Körfezi Ağ Dalyan Balıkçılığı Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Abstract

The study was carried out between April 2019 and September 2019 in order to examine the catch per unit effort, species size compositions and the net plans of the stationary uncovered pound nets (dalian) in Saros Bay. Since there is no land transportation to the dalians, the logistic needs of the dalian are made from the Ece Harbor, which is located within the borders of the Beşyol Village. Therefore, interviews with the owners of the dalians and the length measurements of the fish captured by the dalians were made in Ece Harbor. Before the fishing season, the technical plans of the nets were examined and their plans were drawn for the first time in Turkey. A total of 12 species belonging to 9 families were caught in three dalians during the 2019 fishing season. The catch per unit effort of the dalians were calculated as 53.9 kg.day-1 for Arifağa Taşları, 52.6 kg.day-1 for Bozburun and 43.2 kg.day-1 for Mersinlik region. It was observed that the stationary uncovered pound net fisheries in Saros Bay did not catch significant amounts of undersized fish. Furthermore, the results have revealed that the net structures of stationary uncovered pound nets in Saros Bay should be modernized.* This research is a part of İsmail ÇALIŞKAN’s MSc Thesis.
