In this study, the place of fish and fishery has been investigated from the Paleolithic Age until today. The area examined in this article includes the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Marmara Sea and Aegean Sea, and aquatic habitats including many inland waters. These environments provided a variety of aquatic feeding resources that could have been exploited permanently or by sea, contributing to the emergence of broad-spectrumed economies. The zooarchaeological studies have shown that fishery have an important place in the economic and social lives of the societies living in Anatolia since the prehistoric times. In line with these studies, carp, catfish, gilt-head bream, pike, tunny, grey mullet and invertebrates such as mussels, oyster, murex and carb were found. In addition to understanding fish abuse and the extent of fishing practices, it has been found to be very important in documenting its role in commercial relations and sacrificial rituals.
