Prof. Dr. Osman Samsun, Head of Sinop University Fisheries Catching Technology Department, has commended Turkish fishermen for their sustainable fishing practices. With the migration of anchovy populations to Georgia, the fishermen have chosen to focus on horse mackerel, fishing only during the day and returning to shore at sunset. This decision, which aligns with the natural feeding and resting patterns of the horse mackerel, has been scientifically endorsed by Samsun. He also encourages the public to consume this sustainably caught fish 1-2 times a week.
