Fishing ban ends as Black Sea fishermen anticipate bumper bonito season

Turkey's fishing season has reopened after a four-month ban aimed at protecting marine stocks during the breeding season. Black Sea fishermen report early signs of a bumper bonito catch, with some noting the abundance resembles levels seen 15-20 years ago. Local fishermen like Turgay Memiş and Mehmetcan Örseloğlu express cautious optimism, acknowledging potential price drops for consumers if the trend continues. Bonito sizes are currently averaging around 1 kilogram, with some reaching up to 350 grams, priced between 150-200 Turkish Liras. Fishermen also note traditional patterns suggesting bonito populations may peak every two years. Market prices for other seafood remain high, with salmon at 400 liras per kilogram and sea bream at 500 liras.
