Marine life and fishing activity in Turkey

Overview

Reports from various regions in Turkey highlight significant fishing activity and marine biological observations. In Denizli, amateur fishermen caught two large catfish at the Recep Yazıcıoğlu Dam, weighing approximately 120 and 85 kilograms, which were subsequently released to support conservation.

Other regional reports include a 45-kilogram catfish caught in the Kızılırmak river in Sivas and an abundance of bonito in Bolu following the end of the Black Sea fishing ban. Conversely, hobbyists in Tekirdağ have noted a decrease in fish circulation at the Rumeli Pier.

In addition to fishing reports, marine discoveries have been noted in the Antalya Gulf. Divers identified a tropical striped sergeant fish, a sighting confirmed by Professor Mehmet Gökoğlu of Akdeniz University. This discovery is linked to a broader trend of Mediterranean tropicalization, involving species originating from the Red Sea.
