Aquaculture

Muğla is the largest aquaculture centre in
Turkey in terms of production quantity and
economic value in aquaculture production.

Muğla has the longest shoreline of Turkey with a coastal
length of 1484 km. The fact that the coasts are indented and
the presence of numerous coves constitute the appropriate
environment for net cage culture.

Private sector investors who have realized high potential
of Muğla have launched successful investments since 1986
and have contributed to rapid growth of the aquaculture
sector. Sea bream and sea bass are the most grown fish
species in sea fish breeding in Muğla. Trout breeding is gen-
erally done in freshwater resources.
