The fishing ban in İstanbul, Turkiye will end on September 1

The fishing ban in İstanbul, Turkiye will end on September 1, bringing fishermen back to the seas after nearly four months. In Istanbul’s Sarıyer district, preparations are in full swing.

Nets are being woven and boats are undergoing maintenance. In the Mediterranean, fishermen are also eagerly waiting for the new season. At Adana’s Karataş Port, known as the fishing hub of Çukurova, a flurry of activity is underway ahead of the September 15 opening. While palamut is expected to be scarce this year, an abundance of anchovy and horse mackerel is anticipated.
