Web Summary

Turkey is the second largest producer of farmed fish in the Mediterranean region. Its current annual fish production is estimated to be about 80,000 tonnes. Its marine aquaculture, primarily centered in the Aegean region and focussed on seabass and seabream species, is expected to double from its current level of about 40,000 tonnes. Its freshwater aquaculture segment, focussed on trout production, is also expected to receive a boost from an on-going project in Southeast Anatolia. The Turkish aqua feed industry, which is currently producing about 65,000 tonnes of feeds, will benefit from these expansions in the next five years.
