Abstract

Driftnets, used in Turkish Seas and the regulations. Driftnets are defined by FAO as a fishing gear “consisting of a string of gillnets kept more or less vertical by floats on the upper line and weights on the lower line, drifting with the current, in general near surface or in mid-water.” Large scale drift nets for swordfish are still used illegally in the Mediterranean, though there are many of national-international regulations and bans on driftnets due to high ratio of by-catch, especially marine mammals, seabirds, sea turtles, etc. This study reports the technical characteristics and regulations (both national and international) of driftnets in Turkish waters. A total of 12 various type driftnets of which four from large scale and the others from small scale fisheries. The length of driftnets were ranged from 400 m to 6900 m.

Özet

FAO, sürüklenen pelajik uzatma ağlarını “genellikle yüzeye yakın veya orta suda akıntıyla sürüklenen, üst yakasında yüzdürücü alt yakasında ağırlıklarıyla az veya çok düşey düzlemde kalan bir seri solungaç ağları” olarak tanımlamıştır. Özellikle deniz memelileri, deniz kuşları, deniz kaplumbağaları vb. hedef dışı av oranlarının yüksekliğine bağlı olarak sürüklenen pelajik uzatma ağları üzerine ulusal ve uluslararası düzenleme ve yasakların mevcudiyetine rağmen, Akdeniz’de kılıç balıkları için bu ağlar halen illegal olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye sularında kullanılan sürüklenen pelajik uzatma ağlarının teknik özelliklerini ve ulusal ve uluslararası yasal düzenlemelerini rapor etmektedir. Dört adedi büyük ölçekli, sekiz adedi ise küçük ölçekli balıkçılıktan olmak üzere toplam 12 adet pelajik uzatma ağı tanımlanmıştır. Ağların uzunlukları 400 m ile 6900 m arasında değişmektedir.
