The total landing of the Turkish marine
fishes is about as reported 375 thousand tonnes in 2019, of which 70% is
anchovy. The Turkish Black Sea fisheries are highly dependent on these small
pelagic fish stocks. Understanding the
biology and behavior of this species as well as the factors affecting the
marine environment and hence the management of living resources are crucial for
sustainable fisheries. This is also essential to boost the economic income
without interrupting the blue growth. The Eastern Black Sea fish landing ports
get around 50% of the total land, and most of this (~40%) is landed only at
three, Yoroz (Trabzon), Fındıklı (Rize), and Hopa (Artvin). However, due to an
increase in the rainfall during the last two decades, notably during the last
couple of years, loading the ports have increased, and that needs to be
re-formulated for the fishing, and necessary measures should be taken if needed,
and hence blue growth in the fishing community is not to be interrupted. Therefore,
the core action here is to collect and study the relevant hydrological and
meteorological observations data, topographic and bathymetric maps, and other
materials to process and classify the obtained data on geomorphological changes
and Port Modelling.
