The article reports a significant decrease in the price of bonito fish, also known as tuna, caught from the Black Sea, with three 300-350 gram fish now costing 100 liras, a quarter of the price they were initially sold for.

The price drop is welcomed by consumers, but there are concerns about the sustainability of the bonito population, especially with the scarcity of anchovies.
