|---|---|---|---|
| BluefishOfficial source | — | min 18 cm | Jan 1 – Dec 31 |
| Minimum 18 cm (was 24 cm under the superseded Tebliğ 4/1). Tebliğ 6/2 sets ONE bluefish threshold — the "çinekop under 14 cm / sarıkanat 14–24 cm" size-class prose does not appear in 6/2 and no longer applies. No count limit: 5 kg total for the whole catch. | |||
| European HakeOfficial source | — | min 20 cm | Jan 1 – Dec 31 |
| Bakalyaro/Berlam (Merluccius merluccius): minimum 20 cm. 🔴 Our catalog lists "Mezgit" as an alias of this entry, but MEZGİT is Merlangius merlangus — a different species whose limit is 13 cm. | |||
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.
