dc.description.abstract "In a context of rapidly declining fish-stocks, the nascent aquaculture development in the beginning of the 90s was seen as a promising field for expansion. But the expectations were not met. Aquaculture is now limited to some small scale experiments with trout and a couple of big operators rearing salmon. The evolving management regime is yet undefined, but seems to be 'state property leased to private capital control'. Due to the limited scale of aquaculture, small-boat fishermen's informal management of coastal waters has not yet been put under heavy pressure. "There is thus little competition between aquaculture and small-scale fishing for sea space. The critical aspect of the adaptation is rather knowledge. The market for portion sized trout is very limited, and one depends on the difficult year-round operation in sea to succeed in producing 2-4 kg. salmon which is more in demand. There is no local knowledge in fish farming, and the regional Turkish research institutions have not been provided by the means to develop competence in this field. Consequently, salmon aquaculture is dominated by a few big companies, mainly with Istanbul/Norwegian capital. They depend on foreign knowledge and technology and produce for the Istanbul and international markets. "Compared to the previous development in the fisheries, the state seems less influential. It is rather big companies, operating in the national and international sphere, who, together with the WB, take the lead in aquaculture developments. Since success depends on capital, there is little room left for evolving local knowledge on salmon aquaculture. Therefore, the development of communal management systems in aquaculture is improbable. The big corporations also will--in case of success and expansion--effectively override small-boat fishermen's claims to good fishing spots." en_US
