Thursday Fishermen’s Cooperative President Ünal Karadeniz stated that there was an increase in fish prices due to adverse weather conditions.
Noting that the unfavorable weather affects fishermen’s ability to go to sea, Karadeniz stated that fishermen have not been able to go to sea for the last week and therefore they cannot fish.
Pointing out that the selling price of fish was affected due to the fishermen not being able to go to sea, Karadeniz pointed out that the prices of fish offered for sale on the stalls had almost doubled.
Acorn is sold for 150 TL
Karadeniz, who informed that currently the price of bonito is 150 liras per kilogram, stated that red mullet is on sale for 350, horse mackerel is on sale for 150 liras, and chinekop is on sale for 350 liras per kilogram.
Ünal Karadeniz added that hunting will start again as the weather improves in the region, and fish prices will return to previous levels in the coming days.
