Turkey is a remarkable country
with its variety of aquatic resources, coastal fishing potential and high water
quality in comparison with industrialised countries. As a country with the
possibility to culture subtropical species also, had a total aquaculture
production of 276.5 thousand tonnes while the total fisheries production was
630.8 thousand tonnes in 2017. However, according to the records of Turkish
Patent Institute, number of brands and branding initiative are quite low.
Indeed, according to the records approximately 300 of the enterprises related
to the fisheries sector were branded. High number of independent small-scale
enterprises, lack of brand expectation by the consumers and the lack of
standardisation in the products offered to domestic consumption were the main
reasons of the current trend. However, better income for the producers, more
reliable products for the consumers and reduction of product and quality losses
is possible with branding and branding concept. Branding potential of the
fisheries sector was evaluated within the present study and the advantages of
brand and branding was discussed.
