2023, 92.6% of the total catch production was obtained from the seas, and 85.3% of the total
catch was sea fish catch.

The prices of small pelagic species such as anchovy, sprat, sardine, white sand mussel, sea snail,
pearl mullet, silver and silvery pond fish, which are widely fished in inland waters, are generally
low. Although the amount of fishery products related to these species is higher, their value is
lower than aquaculture products. Depending on the increase in aquaculture production, the to-
tal value of aquaculture products is increasing every year.
