Aquaculture, especially in recent years, offers great potential for sustainable fish production and economic gain. Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) are popular fish especially in the Mediterranean region (Llorente et al., 2020), and are extensively farmed in Türkiye.
