Rising diesel prices and rising costs have also affected fishing boats. The herds of anchovy, which fled off the coast of Georgia during the New Year's Eve in the Black Sea region and returned to the Turkish shores in the previous weeks, are about to come to the end of the current hunting season. Fishermen stated that they could not open as easily as before due to the increasing diesel prices and that the price of the case increased accordingly. Anchovy, which was caught in small quantities in Sinop, rose to 50 TL again on the counters. Fisherman İsmail Değer stated that the diesel prices have increased too much and that the boats cannot be opened easily. Value said, “There was live anchovy coming out of Iğneada, it was finished. Here, too, while our trawlers were hunting whiting and red mullet, they collected 5-6 crates of anchovies from those caught in the nets in Akliman region, and since there was no box price of 550-600 TL, it had to be 50 TL. It doesn't save otherwise. Our boats, which previously bought diesel for 6-7 TL, are now buying diesel for 15-16 TL. As such, this inevitably brings burdens, so it is reflected in the prices.
