Tridge summary

Fishermen in Rize, Turkey, have been facing challenges in their recent fishing season due to significant changes in the underwater life in the Black Sea. The usual abundance of bonito has notably decreased, with the fish now rarely found and selling at high prices, if at all. This has led to hopes for the species to recover for the next season. In contrast, anchovies have been plentiful, but their future numbers remain uncertain, raising concerns about the sustainability of fishing in the region.
