A new report from the Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TUDAV) highlights the growth of marine aquaculture in Turkey over the past decade, driven by factors such as technology advancements, environmental regulations, and international partnerships. The industry's alignment with European standards has allowed for export to EU and global markets, with a strong presence in the Netherlands, Italy, Russia, Japan, Greece, and the U.S., and growing interest in China. The report predicts aquaculture production will reach 600,000 MT in 2023, valued at around USD 2 billion, with potential for further expansion. However, the industry faces challenges such as climate change and the need to reduce pressure on wild catch through full-lifecycle farming. The report suggests product innovation and diversification, as well as research into byproduct production and raw materials for cosmetics and medicine, to expand the market share of the sector.
