Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the current status of aquaculture in Çanakkale province and to offer solutions that will contribute to the sector's development. The study involved a detailed analysis of the aquaculture enterprises in Çanakkale and the data related to these enterprises. The province's current aquaculture structure and potential were highlighted, drawing attention to the diversity in aquaculture production and the opportunities available in the region. The study revealed that there are a total of 18 aquaculture facilities in Çanakkale. Of these, 41.2% are involved in mussel farming, 23.5% in trout farming, 23.5% in carp farming, 5.9% in lugworm farming, and 5.9% in the cultivation of seabass, gilthead seabream, turbot, and grouper. The highest production by species occurs in mussel farming, while lugworm and marine fish farming remain at the lowest levels. In 2023, a total of 581.92 tons of aquatic products were produced in Çanakkale, with 292.76 tons coming from inland waters and 289.16 tons from marine waters. However, it was determined that the share allocated to the sector in the support payments made in the same year was 5.61%. It has been determined that global climate change and the accompanying drought threaten the freshwater resources in Çanakkale province, and the marine ecosystem is also affected by the mucilage phenomenon due to the increase in water temperature and organic pollution load. These problems experienced in water resources cause production losses in the aquaculture sector. The sustainable development of the aquaculture sector in Çanakkale, which also has a wide range in terms of cultivated species, requires a multidisciplinary approach and planning using advanced technology tools. It is anticipated that such an approach will provide significant increases in aquaculture production.

Çanakkale'de Su Ürünleri Yetiştiriciliği: Mevcut Durum ve Gelecek Perspektifleri

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Çanakkale ilinde su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinin mevcut durumunu incelemek ve sektörün gelişimine ışık tutacak çözüm önerileri sunmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında, Çanakkale'deki su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği işletmeleri ve bu işletmelere ait veriler detaylı bir şekilde analiz edilmiştir. İlin mevcut yetiştiricilik yapısı ve potansiyeli ön plana çıkarılarak, su ürünleri üretimindeki çeşitliliğe ve bölgenin sahip olduğu fırsatlara dikkat çekilmiştir. Çalışmada, Çanakkale genelinde toplam 18 su ürünleri yetiştiricilik tesisi bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu tesislerden %41,2’sinin midye, %23,5’inin alabalık, %23,5’inin sazan, %5.9’unun kum kurdu ve %5.9’unun da levrek, çipura, kalkan ve granyöz yetiştiriciliği yaptığı belirlenmiştir. Tür bazında en yüksek üretim midye yetiştiriciliğinde gerçekleşirken, kum kurdu ve deniz balıkları yetiştiriciliği en düşük seviyede kalmıştır. 2023 yılında, Çanakkale’de toplam 581,92 ton su ürünleri üretimi gerçekleşmiş, bunun 292,76 tonu içsularda, 289,16 tonu ise denizlerde üretilmiştir. Ancak, aynı yıl yapılan destekleme ödemelerinde, sektöre ayrılan payın %5,61 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Küresel iklim değişikliği ve beraberinde gelen kuraklığın Çanakkale ilindeki tatlısu kaynaklarını tehdit ettiği, denizel ekosistemin de su sıcaklığındaki yükseliş ve organik kirlilik yükündeki artış nedeniyle yaşanan müsilaj olayından etkilendiği tespit edilmiştir. Su kaynaklarında yaşanan bu sıkıntılar yetiştiricilik sektöründe üretim kayıplarının yaşanmasına neden olmaktadır. Kültüre alınan türler bakımından da geniş bir yelpazeye sahip olan Çanakkale’de yetiştiricilik sektörünün sürdürülebilir gelişimi multidisipliner bir yaklaşım ve ileri teknoloji araçları kullanılarak yapılacak planlamaya ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu tür bir yaklaşımın, su ürünleri üretiminde kayda değer artışlar sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.
