​

Our Association was established mainly to develop and improve aquaculture industry in Mugla Province. We create elaborated plans to increase production, consumption and export,  develop and implement strategies, conduct socio - economic activities, support our members and ensure collaboration and professional solidarity among members.

In 2007, The association was named  to Muğla Kültür Balıkçıları Derneği due to  the statutory rules amendment.

​

​

In 2006 and 2007, the fish farms were faced with a significant challenge due to changes of Environmental Law and Precision Farming Legislations. Therefore, our association has vastly supported the exploration of new offshore fish farm areas and become a guidance to producers during their new settlement. Thus, the sector turned the crisis into an opportunity and started to produce at higher quality and larger quantities in deeper and cleaner waters.
