Abstract

In this review, updated check-list of marine fish in the Bay of Saroz, northern Aegean Sea was presented. From the results of relevant studies by the coastal fisheries and trawls in Saroz Bay, we therefore determined totally 280 fish species, belonging to 96 families. Coastal fisheries in Saroz Bay consist of small scale such as gillnet, trammel net, longline and handline fisheries, while the large scale fisheries is very limited.

Saroz Körfezi ve Gökçeada (Kuzey Ege Denizi) Balık Tür Çeşitliliği Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Abstract

Bu derlemede, Saroz Körfezi’ndeki (Kuzey Ege Denizi) deniz balıklarının güncellenmiş tür çeşitliliği sunulmuştur. Saroz Körfezi’nde gerçekleştirilen kıyı balıkçılığı ve trol çalışmalarından toplanan sonuçlardan 96 familyaya ait 280 balık türü tespit edilmiştir. Saroz Körfezi’ndeki balıkçılık uzatma ağları, paraketa ve olta gibi küçük ölçekli balıkçılıktan oluşurken, büyük ölçekli balıkçılık oldukça sınırlıdır.
