Opportunities for Using the Insect Potential in Wetlands of Turkey as an Alternative Protein Source
Öz
It is known that insects are used as a protein source in a widespread manner all around the world. In this study, it is emphasized that Turkey, just like many other countries, can fulfill its protein need significantly using its current potential. The general properties of aquatic insect groups that are still used or have the possibility to be used as protein sources in the world are summarized briefly. That the food policies applied to terrestrial insects are also applied to aquatic insects was provided as a solution proposal in order to benefit from the protein potential in the wetlands of Turkey at a maximum level.
