Alarm as Bosphorus fish stocks crash
Nederland Laatste Nieuws,Nederland Headlines

It is high season for the popular variety of tuna, with shoals teeming through the Bosphorus on their way from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

Anglers like Dogan who cram shoulder to shoulder along the banks say the nets leave them with little chance -- and the fish with even less.

"Because of these boats, the fish can't enter the Bosphorus," rued angler Murat Ayhanoglu, standing at Kirecburnu cove on the European side."They can't leave their eggs here."- 'Race to overfish' - The transport ministry later backed down after protests from scientists and campaigners about the"race to overfish" what they term is a biologically important"corridor".
