In this study, it is
emphasized that the current situation and economical evaluation of sand smelt,
a species of Mediterranean origin, in Turkey. In recent years, sand smelt, has
entered into many natural and artificial lakes in different parts of Turkey by
fishing. Although, it is not consumed in the
domestic market, it is exported and has become an important species both for
the region’s
and Turkey’s
economy. Thus, fishing this species has substantially increased both in the
natural and the artificial lakes. Due to over fishing of sand smelt and the
lack of fish-ban application in the Turkish freshwaters, although there is a
heavy fishing pressure on the species, the species continues to form high
populations in the Turkish freshwaters. Thus, it is thought that this species
will cause negative effects in terms of freshwater ecosystems and fishing.
Therefore, this species should be removed from the Turkish lakes by heavy fishing.
The caught fish can be utilized in different ways including fish flour, fish
feed, marinade production and can contribute to the Turkish economy.
