According to the Turkey Statistical Institute, the total national fishery production recorded a 1.8% increase from 2020 to 2021.
The main factor for the increase of the fishery products was aquaculture, which registered an increase of 11.9%.
Out of the total amount of 799,851 tons of fishery products in 2021, 59% were farmed.
Within the cross-border project 2 SOFT 1.2./47 “Team Up For Healthy Fish in Aquaculture Systems of the Prut River Basin”, the “Methodological Guide for Fish Farmers” was developed.
The guide is a contribution dedicated to improving the knowledge in the field of aquaculture, in particular to ensure the health of fish farmed in hatcheries in the Prut river basin through sustainable hatchery management practices.
The guide is intended for fish farmers and researchers working in the field of aquaculture, biologists, veterinarians and aquarists. The authors of the guide updated the methods of rapid diagnosis of several cyprinid diseases, suggesting the application of current practical recommendations for those interested in improving the condition of fish farms, increasing fish production or controlling fish pathology, the supervision of human health in the conditions of the evolution of transmissible diseases from fish to humans, taking into account the environmental protection aspect also.
The “Methodological Guide for fish farmers” is available in Romanian, at the following address:

Did you know that more than half of the world’s fish and other aquatic food for human consumption comes from aquaculture? Aquaculture has been the fastest growing food production activity in the world in decades. This growth is expected to continue.
Fish products are particularly healthy, providing a supply of vitamins and minerals necessary for the proper functioning of the body.
In the brochure found at the link below you can read about the benefits of aquaculture, its development within the Union and you can learn about the course of fish products from the producer to the consumer’s plates and about the rules the aquaculture producers in the EU have to obey before they deliver their products to the consumer.

The brochure is available in English, Romanian and Greek among several other languages.
