Abstract
This article addresses the challenges that Black Sea fisheries confront, with a particular focus on the Turkish fisheries. The development and structure of the fisheries in the Turkish Black Sea region is briefly sketched. Managers and scientists in Turkey often hold that lack of awareness among fishermen is the main reason for the problems in the fisheries. Based on material from extended fieldwork and surveys particularly in the province of Trabzon, Turkey, this assertion is critically examined. It is argued that the focus should rather be directed at the socio-economic structure and politics of fishing, and the article closes with a discussion of potential mechanisms for restructuring the Turkish Black Sea fisheries.
