These
fisheries systems are the gear which is passively constructed for catching fish in shallow waters with sandy–muddy substrates. We studied the fish species caught
by four set nets between April and August (set net fishing season) in 2010 – 2012. In total, 37 fish species belonging to 22 families were captured from the study
areas. Clupeidae (45.65%), Carangidae (16.51%) and Sparidae (13.24%) were determined as dominant families, and the total catch amount of dominant species,
Sardina pilchardus (27.18%), Sardinella aurita (18.47%) and Trachurus mediterraneus (16.42%), comprised 62.07% of the total catch. Species diversity (H′log2)
and evenness (J′) index values calculated for all set nets were 0 – 1.566 and 0 – 0.999, respectively. This study provides some general information about the status
of set net fisheries as well as the diversity and abundance of the species caught from the set nets. <br /> </p>}, number={2}
