Fishermen from Mersin set sail into the Mediterranean bay saying ‘Vira Bismillah’, starting the season with a bountiful catch and returning to shore with various kinds of fish.
Due to the higher air temperature in the Eastern Mediterranean compared to the Aegean and the Black Sea, fishermen started the season 15 days later this year, as they do every year. Fishermen from Mersin completed all their preparations and said ‘Vira Bismillah’ on September 15. On the first day, 441 boats from 7 fishing shelters in the city, which has a coastline of 321 kilometers, could not go out due to the storm. After the storm passed, fishermen set out to sea and returned to shore with a variety of fish after two days of fishing. It was noted that the early days of the season were fruitful, with shrimp, bogue, silver fish, horse mackerel, pike, and snapper being among the catches. The caught fish were separated by type and size by the crew on the boats, washed, iced, and then delivered to vehicles waiting on the shore to be sent to the market.
“The first catches are abundant”
Crew member Mehmet Güler stated, “Since the season has just started, the first catches are abundant. Generally, we return to shore every two days, but it can vary depending on the area. If the area we go to is far, we stay for two days; if it’s close, we stay for one day.”
Yalçın Sakın, Vice President of the Mersin Fisheries Cooperative Regional Union, also mentioned, “We opened the season on the night of September 15-16. There was also a storm. Despite the storm, our friends worked hard. They started coming back yesterday and today. Since it is the beginning of the season, it looks good. Hopefully, it will continue in a few days. The costs are very high, the weather is a bit warm, and we do not know how the fish prices will be.”
Sakın also provided information about the fish caught, saying, “In the first catch, we have shrimp, bogue, pike, and horse mackerel. Our fish will be marketed. Hopefully, it will be reflected reasonably for our citizens. Fresh and organic.”
Sakın, who randomly encountered his fisherman friends, noted that the first weeks are generally abundant, but fish populations tend to decrease as the season progresses.
