Tridge summary

Tokat's Almus dam is playing a crucial role in fish production, particularly salmon, which is exported mainly to Russia and other European countries. Approximately 6,000 tons of fish are produced annually from about 30 facilities around the lake. The fish are harvested and exported when they reach a weight of 2-3 kilograms. Due to lower water temperatures in inland waters, the fish develop better in the Black Sea. The salmon, marketed as an alternative to Norwegian salmon, is valued for its taste and texture, and is exported after processing. The demand for this product is increasing due to its high added value. However, fish producers are facing challenges due to a decrease in the water level in the dam.
