The increase in the diversity of needs arising due to population growth, technological development and globalization leads to greater use of limited natural resources and brings with it consequences such as resource depletion and pollution. This study focused on the dam lakes on the Kızılırmak River in Türkiye, whose fisheries production rights were leased. On the Kızılırmak, the longest river within Türkiye’s borders, there are İmranlı, Yamula, Bayramhacılı, Hirfanlı, Obruk, Boyabat and Derbent reservoirs, where the right to produce fishery products is leased. Among these, the most rented reservoir is Hirfanlı Dam Lake. The sustainability of fisheries in these reservoirs on the Kızılırmak River is important for meeting healthy protein needs and socio-economic development. The fisheries that have commercial value in these dam lakes, provide both employment and a significant economic contribution to the population of the province and district in which they are located. In order to utilize this potential in a healthy way, it has been concluded that it is very important to operate these dam lakes with a balance between protection and use. However, it is necessary to increase incentives and support for fishermen particularly in these fishing regions.
