Abstract

Objective: The current work was carried out
between 2013-2014 during the fishing periods to evaluate certain fish aggloremations
within 3 miles of the coastal zone. Therefore, some basic characteristics of
fish populations along the Inceburun coast of the Sinop province of the Black
Sea were examined.

Materials and Methods: Data was collected
from 5 trawl operations in the Sinop-Inceburun Region of the Black Sea at
depths of 20 to 39 meters at 5 different locations. Biometric measurements of
each species was made. A literature search was performed to gather information
about the status of threatened fish species found in the region. The
length-weight parameters of 4 commercial fish species were estimated.

Results: During the fishing season between
1st September 2013 and 15th April 2014 different fish species were captured
depending on the season and climate. In these surveys, 16 teleost species from
15 families, 2 elasmobranch species from 2 families and 2 species of
invertebrates were recorded from 5 different stations. In these surveys random
samples of red mullet, bluefish, horse mackerel, turbot etc. were collected from
5 different stations. The total mean CPUA was estimated at 425.30 kg/km2.

Conclusion: The Black Sea areas including
those around the Sinop coast have an important effect on the entire production
of sea fish of the Turkish fishery. In addition, Sinop fisheries generate
significant fishery production supporting logistics and employment. In the
Sinop peninsula, there is an increasing trend towards the production of
commercial species of the Black Sea.
