Abstract

A survey has been conducted face to face with 28 people who are owner and/or captain of the trawl vessel for determination the effects of fuel consumption and applications made by fishermen in Mersin Bay. Trawlers have been preferred due to highest fuel consumption values between fishing gears and as a result %84 of fishermen have been found complaint about fuel consumption. Change of the propeller and/or reduction gear, change and/or maintenance of the engine have been determined as the foreground technical modifications applied by fisherman for reducing consumption and found %39 and %25 respectively. Operation of the main engine by fishermen at unnecessarily high speeds due to the escape of the fish or time constraint has led to inefficient use of the fuel. Approximately 3 liters of diesel oil consumption for 1 kg fish catch have been extracted throughout the survey and declared that consumption sometimes fails to meet the cost related to the value of the product obtained. In conclusion, despite all the modifications or changes made, it has been determined that fuel consumption has not been reduced and solutions have been searching about the problem.

Mersin Körfezi Trol Gemilerinin Yakıt Tüketimi ve Av Performansı İncelemeleri

Abstract

Trol gemilerinde yakıt tüketiminin etkileri ve balıkçılar tarafından yapılan uygulamaların belirlenmesi için Mersin Körfezi’nde 28 adet trol gemisi sahibi ve/veya kaptanlarıyla yüz-yüze anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Trol av araçları arasında en yüksek yakıt tüketim değerlerine sahip olması nedeniyle tercih edilmiş ve balıkçının %84’ünün yakıt tüketiminden şikayetçi olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Tüketimi azaltmak için yapılan teknik modifikasyonlar içinde pervane ve/veya şanzıman değişimi, makine bakım ve/veya değişimi balıkçılar tarafından uygulanan işlemler olarak ön plana çıkmış ve sırasıyla %39 ve %25 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Balığın kaçması veya zaman kısıtlaması sebebiyle balıkçılar tarafından gereğinden yüksek devirlerde ana makinenin çalıştırılması yakıtın verimsiz kullanımına neden olmuştur. 1 kg balık yakalamak için yaklaşık 3 litre dizel yakıt tüketimlerinin olduğu anket verilerince hesaplanmış olup elde edilen türün ekonomik değeriyle alakalı bu tüketimin bazen maliyeti karşılayamadığı belirtilmiştir. Sonuç olarak yapılan tüm modifikasyon veya değişimlere rağmen yakıt tüketiminin azaltılamadığı ve sorunla alakalı çözüm aradıkları ortaya koyulmuştur.
