TURK 2025

Abstract
This study aims to reveal the contribution of inland aquaculture, according to production values, number of farms, and capacities. In the world, total fisheries and aquaculture production were around 180 and 90 million tons in 2021 respectively. Rainbow trout is produced in more than 75 countries in the world, with a production amount of approximately 1.1 million tons in 2021. Within this field, Iran was first with near 200,000 tons, followed by Turkey with near 150,000 tons in 2021. When viewed from a “10-year of change” aspect, the amount of aquaculture in Turkey increased from 210.000 tons in 2012 to 470,000 tons in 2021. Rainbow trout accounts for 35% of total aquaculture production in 2021. This species is cultured in more than 65 cities in Turkey.
Kyrgyzstan is a country rich in water reserves in its region. However, consumption is quite limited due to the production of aquatic products. It can be said that the reasons are many factors such as the fact that the people do not have the habit of consuming enough, the prices are high compared to their purchasing power, it is not available when wanted, and its freshness cannot be preserved due to the weakness of transportation and storage facilities.
