The lifting of the fishing ban in Turkey on September 1st in the Marmara, Black Sea and Aegean regions, and on September 15th in the Mediterranean, has led to an abundance of fish and a significant drop in prices. According to Adnan Polat, President of the Mersin Fishermen's Association, prices have already fallen by 30-40%, and are expected to decrease further, by 60-70%, by September 15th. This is due to the high sea water temperature affecting sustainable fishing and hunting, and fishermen preparing their boats and nets in anticipation of the lifting of the ban. The first three months of the fishing season are expected to see very cheap fish prices, making it accessible to all segments of the population.
