The Deriner Dam, located in Artvin, Turkey, has started producing Turkish salmon, adding to its economic contribution since 2012. The first harvest, with an annual production of 8,300 tons across 24 cage operations, was inspected by the Artvin Governor, who highlighted the dam's suitability for aquaculture due to its water quality. The governor anticipates the annual salmon production value to reach 2 billion liras by 2024. The pioneering female entrepreneur, Eray Şeker, who established the first fish facility in the dam, aims to produce 100 tons this year, tapping into the dam's potential to boost the regional economy and export potential.
