assessing the socio-economic status of small scale and recreational line squid
fishers  in Izmir Bay, was carried out between September 2010 and
September 2011 in the area between Karaburun and Yeni Foça line. Fishers in the
sample size were determined by simple random sampling method. A survey was
later carried with these fishers as well as with the managers of the local
fishery cooperatives. The ban on coastal trawl nets such as seine nets and drag
nets in 2001 has led to a decrease in the amount of squid caugth in the Izmir
Bay, resulting in steeper prices due to imbalanced supply&demand patterns
(15-25 TL/kg). In this period, use of fishing jigs in squid fishing were
observed to have increased. Survey results revealed that there are fishers in
the Izmir Bay living solely on squid fishing and the rods  they
specifically modified for squid have become commercial gears, enabling higher
catch efficiency (min.1, max. 41 kg/day/disher) and catch value (min 15 TL -
max 1.025 TL/day/fisher). This study has revealed the emergence of a new type
of fishermen whose demographic and socio-economic features are shaped according
to the change in squid fishing in the Izmir Bay. The fact that the traditional
fishing rod has gained a “recreational” and “commercial disguised as
recreational” function in the Izmir Bay squid fishing should be considered as a
significant development in terms of fisheries management. </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={3}
