Turkish fishermen eye record bonita season
TEKİRDAĞ
Fishermen mend their nets in preparation for the coming fishing season
Fishermen in the Süleymanpaşa district of the northwestern province of Tekirdağ are repairing their nets and maintaining their boats ahead of a new season promising a bumper catch of bonito.
Reports of increased bonito activity in the Black Sea are raising expectations for a highly productive period. Marine observations indicating a large number of juvenile fish have created a consensus the upcoming season will yield a massive harvest. Crews arriving from Black Sea provinces like Ordu and Bartın are working rapidly to finalize vessel repairs and mend nets to prepare for the heavy workload.
