Fishing season ends in Turkey

ISTANBUL

Turkey’s fishing season will end on April 15, with a countrywide ban effective until Sept. 1.

Prof. Dr. Mustafa Sarı, an academic from Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University, told Anadolu Agency that the “efficiency” from the Marmara Sea in terms of fishes caught was not as good in comparison to those from other seas this past season.

Sarı also warned that the biggest problem in the Marmara is poaching, urging authorities to increase their inspections at the seas.
