Artisanal fishery and seahorses (Genus: Hippocampus) in Turkey

Year 2013, Volume: 19 Issue: 3, 354 - 358, 01.12.2013

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the first attempt to use an ethnoecological approach to examine issues relevant to seahorse conservation and management in Turkey. Between 1999 and 2008, we visited 32 localities, and interviewed 394 people involved in artisanal fishery. We considered the following aspects as positive for the conservation of seahorses and their habitats: fishers were willing to dialogue with researchers (100%); they recognized the importance of reproduction to the maintenance in the wild (84%), and expressed concern over population declines (76%). Large seahorses are captured because they are accepted by buyers in turictic places. Further researches needed to find out the absolute interactions between seahorses and artisanal fishery to manage seahorses and their habitats.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ülkemizde küçük-ölçekli balıkçıların denizatlarının biyoloji ve ekolojileri ile ilgili sahip oldukları bilgi ilk defa sorgulanmakta ve Türkiye'de denizatı koruması konusunda işbirlikçi bir yaklaşım ortaya konulmaktadır. 1999-2008 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin güney ve batı sahillerini içeren, balıkçılık faaliyetlerinin var olduğu ve turizmin geliştiği 32 lokalite ziyaret edilmiş ve küçük-ölçekli balıkçılık ile ilgili 394 kişi ile görüşülmüştür. Denizatları ve onların habitatlarının korunması konusunda pozitif olarak yorumlanabilecek şu noktalar açığa çıkmıştır: balıkçılar araştırıcılar ile konuşmaya gönüllü olmuştur (%100), görüşme yapılan kişilerin çoğu doğada denizatı sürekliliği için üremenin önemli olduğunun (%84) ve zamana karşı bir populasyon azalması olduğunun farkındadır (%76). Talep nedeniyle, özellikle turistik bölgelerde ağlara hedef-dışı av olarak yakalanan denizatları tutulmaktadır. Denizatları ve onların habitatlarının
