Abstract
Black Sea salmon is from the Salmonidae family and is an endemic species distributed in the Black Sea. These fish, which exhibit anadromous behavior, prefer parts of rivers close to their source for reproduction and the Black Sea for feeding. The first cultivation study of this species, which has high consumer preference and economic value, was started by SUMAE in 1998. As a result of 24 years of work, F7 generation broodstock was created. In order to popularize the production of the species, the private sector was supported with broodstock. In this study, the breeding process of Black Sea salmon was examined and the introduction of the species was aimed. Today, 25 private sector enterprises have production licenses and many enterprises carry out commercial production of the species in the form of trial production with 1603 tons in total. Commercial production is concentrated in the Eastern Black Sea Region, which is the natural distribution area of the species. While enterprises that produce portion size in ponds and have restaurants prefer the red-spotted stream ecotype in production, enterprises that produce large-sized fish in dam lakes and the sea prefer the marine ecotype, which reaches sexual maturity late and has a better growth performance than other ecotypes. Since Black Sea salmon is our only endemic trout species showing typical salmon characteristics, its adaptation to the natural environmental conditions of our country for sea net cage and freshwater aquaculture is quite good.
