Description
Summary:This study was carried out between October 2016 and April 2017 to determine the structural and technical characteristics of the nets used by conducting face to face interviews with boat owners and net equipping fishermen in shelters and boatyards of Hopa Port, Limanköy, Esenkıyı, Sugören, Çamlıköy, Kemalpaşa, Hacılar and Arhavi which are located within the coastal borders of Artvin province. At the end of the study, gill and trammel nets with different structural and equipment characteristics consisting of 15 sets of whiting net, 10 sets of Atlantic bonito net, 10 sets of garfish net, 7 sets of red mullet net, 6 sets of turbot net, 5 sets of mullet net, 4 sets of horse mackerel net, 4 sets of shi drum net and 3 sets of encircling trammel net were determined. As a result of the study, it was seen that nets with different characteristics were used for catching of a species. It was determined that the technical and equipment characteristics of the nets used were similar according to the geographical proximity of the locations. Bu çalışma, Ekim 2016- Nisan 2017 tarihleri arasında Artvin ili sınırları içerisinde yer alan Hopa Limanı, Limanköy, Esenkıyı, Sugören, Çamlıköy, Kemalpaşa, Hacılar ve Arhavi’de balıkçılarla yüz yüze anketler yapılarak bölgede kullanılan ağlarının yapısal ve teknik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonunda farklı yapı ve donam özelliklerine sahip 15 takım mezgit ağı, 10 takım palamut ağı, 10 takım zargana ağı, 7 takım barbunya ağı, 6 takım kalkan ağı, 5 takım kefal ağı, 4 takım istavrit ağı, 4 takım kötek ağı, 3 takım voli ağının kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, bir türün avcılığı için farklı özelliklere sahip uzatma ağlarının kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Kullanılan ağların teknik ve donam özelliklerinin kullanıldıkları lokalitelerin coğrafi yakınlıklarına göre benzerlik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.
