Tridge summary

The article highlights the challenges faced by Turkish fishermen, particularly Recep Denizer of Denizer Fishing, due to the absence of anchovies in the Black Sea and the rising diesel prices. The warm water temperature has forced the anchovies to migrate to calmer regions like Georgia and Abkhazia. As of January 1, fishermen will be allowed to catch anchovies from these regions, but the soaring diesel prices are causing significant financial strain on the fishing industry.
