Sinop Central Fisheries Cooperative Union President Namık Ünlü said, “We will start bonito fishing on September 1st this year, God willing. Bonito fishing looks very, very good. Current indications in the sea are that there are 50 times more bonito than last year.”

In Sinop, known as one of the important fishing centers, fishermen are about to complete their preparations for the fishing season that will start on September 1. Sinop Central Fisheries Cooperative Union President Namık Ünlü made a statement, stating that they have largely completed their preparations for September 1.

Sinop Central Fisheries Cooperative Union President Namık Ünlü stated that this year there will be bonito fishing compared to last year and said, “We started to take our nets before the season this year, our crews have also arrived. We will say ‘Vira Bismillah’ on September 1st, God willing. We will start bonito fishing on the day we say September 1st this year, God willing. Bonito fishing looks very, very good. The current signs in the sea seem to be 50 times more bonito than last year. We have 100 fish catchers and they say they are seeing much bigger fish right now. We will see them when we go out to sea, God willing. We think that this season will be very productive in terms of bonito. Because, the signs are very good. Last year there were no bonito, but anchovies were plentiful. It seems that we will replace them with bonito this year. It is too early to comment on anchovies. Because, when this fish is plentiful, it grinds anchovies like a mill. In order for a fish to grow, it needs to eat at least 22 kilograms of net anchovies to reach one kilogram, or horse mackerel.” spoke. – SINOP
