Yalılı highlighted that the blue crab is also found and hunted in some other provinces in Türkiye .
However, due to the difference in taste, the blue crabs in Dalyan are particularly preferred.
In recent years, due to the insufficient supply of the locally caught product, they have started to source them from outside as well.
Yalılı pointed out that Dalyan is not only the apple of Türkiye's eye but also a global gem. He stated, "We process around 30 tons of blue crabs annually in Dalyan Channel. In this regard, we contribute to the regional economy and create tourism diversity."
Arif Yalılı mentioned that DALKO has 750 members and receives demand from abroad. However, at present, they can only meet the domestic market's needs.
