Abstract
Su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği sektörü, sel, kuraklık, deniz seviyesinin yükselmesi, su kıtlığı ve su kirliliği gibi su kaynakları üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olan iklim değişikliğine karşı kırılgandır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye için tatlısularda balık yetiştiriciliği yapan üreticilerin iklim değişikliği farkındalığı ve ilişkili potansiyel riskler araştırılmıştır. 2020 yılında 25 nehir havzasında 1440 aktif alabalık üreten tesisten 257'sine anket uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar, üreticilerin %79'unun iklim değişikliğinin olumsuz etkileri konusunda farkındalıklarının olduğunu göstermiş, balık sağlığını tehdit edecek en yüksek etki su miktarı ve kalitesi olarak rapor edilmiştir. Aşırı hava olayları açısından, katılımcıların sırasıyla %40'ı sel ve %35'i kuraklık yaşamıştır. Sıcaklık artışının tesis sahipleri için bir tehdit oluşturduğu ve alabalık üretimini etkilediği belirtilmiştir. Üreticilerin üçte biri 6500-30.000 € arasında maddi kayıp yaşadığını belirtmiştir. Tesislerin yaklaşık %40'ında su paylaşımı sorunu vardır. Su tahsisinde gelecek kaygısı %70’in üzerinde çıkmış, tarım sigortası oranı ise %11 gibi çok düşük bir seviyede kalmıştır.

Abstract
Aquaculture sector is vulnerable to climate change, which has adverse impacts on water resources such as floods, droughts, sea level rise, water scarcity and water pollution. In this study, climate change awareness of freshwater aquaculture producers and associated potential risks are investigated for Türkiye. A survey was applied to 257 trout producing plants out of 1440 active plants in 25 river basins in 2020. The results implied that 79% of producers mentioned their awareness of the negative impacts of climate change, where water quantity and quality was reported as the highest impact that would threat fish health. In terms of extreme weather events, floods and drought were experienced by 40% and 35% of respondents, respectively. Temperature increase poses a threat for the plant owners and affects trout production. One-third of the producers had financial loss of €6500-30.000. There is water sharing problem for almost 40% of plants. Future concern on water allocation was higher than 70% and the rate of agricultural insurance was very low, i.e., 11%.
