Abstract

In this study, the socio-economic status of the employees who work in the seafood processing plants operating in the Black Sea region provinces was examined in order to reveal the social and economic data. 37 enterprises, which have a production permit from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, are located in 7 provinces in the Black Sea region, where 18 provinces are located. It has been studied with 532 interviewers in 28 companies that are actively operating, with a participation of 24 questions each. 19 of the enterprises work for fish and fish products (cold and frozen storage), 4 are for snails, and 5 are for fish meal and oil processing plants. 63.9% of the employees are male. When we look at the distribution of the employees’ age groups, the rate of 31-40 years was the highest with a percentage of 36.64%. Regarding the education levels, it is seen that secondary school graduates constitute the highest rate with a percentage of 38.91%. It has been detected that 99.62% of the employees have social security, and all of them take advantage of the social security institution. For the marital status, it is determined that 73.50% of the employees are married. Studies on the seafood sector, which is important in the world and in our country, reveal important data.
