In Zonguldak, there was a dense concentration of anchovies, but no mackerel were caught.

Zonguldak Kilimli Fisheries Cooperative Manager Bülent Aksu made evaluations on the fishing season in Zonguldak. Aksu said that approximately 500 tons of anchovies were caught from the city, but due to changes in ecological balances and climatic conditions, the season was weak for fishermen. Aksu stated that a total of 116 trucks of anchovies were caught in Zonguldak, which corresponds to approximately 45 thousand cases and around 500 tons. Recalling that they had predicted there would be no bonito at the beginning of the season, Aksu noted that this year there was an anchovy-heavy fishing. Mentioning that anchovies were sold at 100 to 150 liras per kilo at the counters, Aksu said that the majority of the caught anchovies were migratory fish, spreading from the İğneada and Trabzon line to the Black Sea. Referring to the migratory route of the anchovies, Aksu stated that the fish traveled from İğneada to Batumi in Georgia, and the fishing ended sequentially along this line. ...
