Abstract
The study aims to determine the technical characteristics of fishing gear used in the small-scale fishery in Marmara Ereglisi and to give the fishing potential of Marmara Ereglisi. The study was conducted during the 2022-2023 fishing season at the Marmara Ereglisi fishing shelter. Our results are based on the surveys conducted with 14 commercial fishermen and personal observations. Accordingly, 15 different set nets (9 gill nets and 6 trammel nets), five different fishing lines, and 1 type of beam trawl were identified. In the small-scale fishing activity in Marmara Ereglisi, 38 other fish species (13 target and 36 non-target) were caught. This study concludes that small-scale fishing in Marmara Ereglisi has significant potential in the fishing gear used and the species seen. The study is the first to focus on the technical specifications of fishing gear used in Marmara Ereglisi.
