The fishing ban applied between April 15 and July 15 due to the breeding season of the endangered pearl mullet, which can live in the salty and alkaline waters of Lake Van, continues.
THEY RUSH INTO STREAMS AS IF FLYING The migration process of the pearl mullets, which live only in Lake Van and swim upstream like salmon in Alaska to breed, continues.
HUNDREDS CAME TO WATCH While the Agriculture and Forestry Provincial Directorate, gendarmerie, police, and municipal teams conduct inspections 24/7 along the migration route of the pearl mullet, hundreds of people came to Deliçay in the Erciş district to watch the migration.
"IT OFFERS AN INCREDIBLE VISUAL FEAST " Uğur Taş, who came from Batman to watch the fish migration, said, "I had never seen a pearl mullet before. When I heard about the fish migration, I came to Van from Batman with my family. The pearl mullets swimming against the current offer an incredible visual feast. I want everyone to come and see this beauty," he said.
