Table 1-Fish in Our Inland Waters That Are Potentially Unfavorable

Name	Latin Name	Reason
Rainbow trout	Oncornhychus mykiss	It is not a natural species in none of our inland waters. It destroys the eggs and fries of the other natural fish species. This species is highly resistant to diseases and bears the risk of infecting other natural trout species. It is in a more advantageous position in terms of competition for baits.
Pike	Esox lucius	This species is at the highest level of the life cycle. It can adapt easily to all types of pollution and living conditions. Once released to a specific river basin, it is not possible to clean the area from it. Although it is a natural species of our country it is not possible to clean it from the river basins when it is once released there.
Perch	Perca fluviatilis	Very carnivorous species. Puts pressure on other species. Although it is a natural species of our country it is not possible to clean it from the river basins when it is once released there.

b) Fish In Our Inland Waters That Are Ecologically Hazardous
The fish in this group destroy our economic fish stocks and the ecological environment seriously. The nearest provincial directorates of the ministry should be informed upon seeing these fish in inland waters. There are no number and length limits for these fish. No closed season exists. It is strictly forbidden to use these fish as live baits and to transport them for these purposes from one place to another
Table–2 Fish In Our Inland Waters That Are Ecologically Hazardous

Name	Latin Name	Rason
Güneş levreği	Lepomis gibbosus	Foreign origin, carnivorous fish. It has no economical value and seriously damages our local species and economic species.
Tilapya azmanı	Tilapia sp.	Foreign origin fish. It has no economical value and seriously damages our local species and economic species.
Pool fish	Carassius sp.	It is a pond fish. It has the capacity to inseminate crap eggs and therefore damages the crap stocks. Rapidly increases in number and becomes dominant in the environment.
Gambusia	Ghambussia sp	This fish species was first used for the biological fight against mosquitoes and released into our waters without knowing the hazardous effects of it. But it has caused damages for some fish species by eating its eggs. It is very difficult to clean it completely from the habitat it lives.

c) Bait Fish: Species listed in the following table can be used as bait fish in amateur fishing. Maximum 30 fish of the species listed below can be kept in a fishweir or an alive bait basket of an amateur fisherman.
