All species combined

  • maximum 5 kg or 3 fish total per day — The "Alıkonulabilir Miktar" column of Çizelge 7 is NOT a per-species daily bag. It is the total an angler may carry away, regardless of how many days were fished. Count-limited species caught together are treated as one species: total ≤ 3, provided no single species exceeds its own allowance. Weight-limited ("kg") species: ≤ 5 kg total, single or mixed. A single fish over 5 kg is lawful on its own; and if the largest fish is set aside and the rest weigh ≤ 4 kg, the catch is within limits. A 5% undersize tolerance applies to length limits.
