Atlantic bluefin tuna migration in Turkish waters
Overview
Atlantic bluefin tuna have been observed in large numbers throughout the Istanbul Bosphorus, the Golden Horn, and the Izmit Gulf. Experts, including Associate Professor Taner Yıldız, suggest this represents a revival of a century-old migration route rather than the discovery of a new habitat, noting that historical records from 1913-1914 show significant tuna sales in the region.
While the migration is driven by the pursuit of prey such as mackerel and bonito, recent observations indicate that increased tuna activity in the Marmara Sea may be linked to environmental improvements. Associate Professor İsmail Burak Daban suggests that mucilage action plans and increased inspections have reduced marine pollution, supporting the growth of small pelagic fish populations that serve as a primary food source for the tuna.
