The project is building on the achievements of TUR-03-15.
Background:
Lake Van, with its salty and carbonated waters and unique biodiversity, is one of the most interesting ecosystems in the world. Its highly carbonated water (pH 9.8) makes ( ... )
vironment unsuitable to live for animals of higher order, therefore no fresh water or marine fish species with the exception of Pearl Mullet (Chalcalburnus tarichi), is able to survive in the lake. The pearl mullet is a member of the cyprinidae family, leaves the lake for reproducing in rivers in the spring. Hunting of the fish is usually done during the reproduction migration in May and June.
