#SOMFI2025’e göre aşırı avlanan stokların yüzdesi, yetiştiriciliğinin bölgedeki su ürünleri kaynağı olma rolünün yükselişiyle eş zamanlı olarak on yılın en düşük seviyesinde!

#SOMFI2025 is out now❗️

The percentage of overfished stocks has dropped to its lowest level in a decade, a milestone that coincides with aquaculture’s rapid expansion as a major source of aquatic foods in the region.
