Abstract
The first marine finfish hatchery of Turkey was built in 1985in Cesme. There are presently 19 hatcheries in Turkey according to the official records. However, no data is available on their production, technologic and
economic situations. The aim of this study was to carry out a technical and economic analysis of marine finfish
hatcheries of Turkey and to develop appropriate solutions to their related problems.The original data was gathered
from marine finfish hatcheries. This research revealed that there are presently only 10marine finfish hatcheries in
operation. A full counting method and a questionnaire were utilized in order to obtain accurate and reliable data.
Hatchery data,which was gathered for the period between 1997and 2002,was analyzed through the use of a simple
regression analysis method,and some estimations for approximate production values for the period between 2004and
2010were carried out. The software used for the statistical data analysis was SPPS 9.05.
