Fishermen in Samsun are preparing for a month-long sprat fishing season from April 15 to May 15, aiming to catch 50 thousand tons of sprat following the closure of the sea hunting season. Atıf Malkoç, the President of the Samsun Region Fisheries Cooperatives Association, reported that despite challenges like climate-induced jellyfish increases and warmer sea temperatures leading to smaller fish sizes, the past fishing season was normal.

He also noted a decrease in fish sizes, such as anchovy, attributed to warmer temperatures and a scarcity of plankton, crucial for fish growth.
