The Country Brief and the FAO Fisheries Statistics provided in Part I may, however, have been prepared at different times, which would explain any inconsistencies. Country brief Prepared: 03-05-2018 Bulgaria encompasses a geographic area of 110 912 km2 with a population of approximately 7.1 million people in 2016. Its eastern region is bordered by the Black Sea and its northern region by the Danube River. The fisheries sector has three main sub-sectors, marine capture fisheries and mariculture, inland fisheries (freshwater aquaculture and fishing) and the Danube fisheries. Over 99 percent of capture fisheries production is from the Black Sea. The fishing industry in Bulgaria remains in a state of transition from a centralized to a market economy. In 2017, total 1 880 vessels were reported as Bulgarian fleet. A significant challenge for Bulgaria has been to align itself with the European Union’s requirements related to the fisheries sector. In 2017, 375 full-time and 1776 part-time fishers (all male) were reported.In 2016 the total catch from marine fisheries reached almost 8600tonnes, slightly decreasing from previous catch production around 10 000 tonnes. Marine fisheries in Bulgaria originate from the Black Sea. The species composition of catches during the period from 2001 to 2011 includes 36 species of fish, molluscs and crustaceans. The most important target pelagic fish species are European sprat, Mediterranean horse mackerel and anchovy. Demersal fish species with commercial importance are turbot, gobies and picked dogfish. Due to the increasing commercial value of molluscs in the last decade, rapa whelks can also be included in this list.Since August 2012, no commercial fishing has been executed in the inland waterbodies of the country, excluding the Danube River, due to an amendment in the national legislation. In 2016, the Danube River fishing fleet caught 52 tonnes of fish.Although production levels from inland fisheries are relatively low, they play an important role at the local level in less developed areas bordering the Danube River as a source of income and employment. Aquaculture in Bulgaria is reported to be 15 754 tonnes in 2016, which is 64.7 percent in the total fish production of 24 368 tonnes in the same year.Bulgaria is one of the lowest per capita consumers of fish and fishery products in the European Union. Consumption is increasing but continues to be comparatively low, reaching an amount of 7.0 kg per capita in 2013.Bulgaria is a net importer of fish and fishery products. Imports increased significantly during the last years and in 2017 reached more than USD 117 million.The majority of fish and fishery product imports are in frozen form, with the bulk being mackerel. Export values reached USD 88.2 million in 2017.

References to these sources are provided as far as possible. Production sector The length of the Bulgarian coastline of the Black Sea is 378 km, and Varna Bay and Burgas Bay are among the largest bays. The territorial waters reach 12 nautical miles from the coast, the contiguous zone 24 nautical miles from the coast, and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) 200 nautical miles from the coast. More than 1 million people live in coastal areas, mainly Burgas, Varna and Dobrich. The Bulgarian fisheries policy and sector management are subject to the rules and objectives of the EU Common Fisheries Policy (EU CFP). The main fish production in the country relies on commercial fishery in the Black Sea and the Danube as well as on fish and other aquatic organisms’ production in specialized aquacultures farms. The country’s fisheries can be placed into two categories. Based on data of the Executive Agency of Fisheries and Aquaculture (EAFA), in 2016 the total catch of fish and other aquatic organisms from commercial fishery in the country decreased by 3,28 % compared to 2015. In August 2012, the commercial fishing in inland waters was banned, leading to an increase in the number of actively registered aquaculture producers. Marine sub-sector Catch profile The majority of fishing activities are carried out in territorial waters (within the 12 nautical miles area). In general, the total catches by Bulgarian fishing vessels show a slight decrease compared to previous years, with a total of 8 614 tonnes in 2016, compared to 9 500 tonnes in 2012 and 2013. Traditionally, the European sprat fishery is one of the most important for the Bulgarian fishing sector, both for fresh and processed markets. In recent years catches of Rapana snail have overtaken those for sprat, due to high export demands. Since 2017, there has been growing economic interest in the white sand mussels (Chamelea gallina, Mya arenaria and Donax trunculus) catch due to the high market demands, mainly foreign.Compared to the previous year, there is an increase in catches and landings of some of the more economically important species, such a red mullet, gobies and migratory species like Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda) and bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix). Landing sites Landings from commercial fisheries in the Black Sea are carried out at 74 landing sites. Some of the most important landing ports in Bulgaria are Varna, Kavarna, Blachik, Byala, Burgas, Nesebar, Sozopol and Tsarevo, Pomorie and Shabla. The fishing vessels flying the flag of third countries are authorized to land only in the ports of Varna and Burgas.

The active fleet had a combined gross tonnage (GT) of 5 thousand tonnes, engine power of 41.2 thousand kilowatts (kW) and an average age of 25 years. The majority of the fleet was less than 12 m length over all (LOA) and used passive gears. In 2016, the fishing fleet consisted of 1918 vessels (of which 710 inactive)There has been an increase in the number of active fishing vessels in two of five segments – LOA 0-6 m and LOA 6-12m. All vessles in segment LOA 24-40 m are active.

  • UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY at NESEBAR, ANCIENT MESAMBRIA (BLACK SEA), BULGARIA 2018 Director: Dr
    ANNUAL REPORT: UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY AT NESEBAR, ANCIENT MESAMBRIA (BLACK SEA), BULGARIA 2018 Director: Dr. Nayden Prahov, archaeologist at the National Institute of Archaeology with Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; Balkan Heritage Foundation Program Director ([email protected]) Students and instructors preparing for the field work The field school took place in Nesebar, Bulgaria (ancient Mesambria) on the Black Sea coast from May 25 to June 21, 2018. This was the first season of the project, which is an initiative of the Balkan Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Institute for Field Research (BHF-IFR Joint Program) and the Bulgarian Centre for Underwater Archaeology. The goal of the field school was to provide experience and training in underwater and maritime archaeology through participation in three ongoing research and conservation projects. The major research project was the investigation of the submerged heritage of Nesebar, ancient Mesambria. The settlement was established by Thracian tribes, but at the end of 6th century Dorian colonizers settled here and founded a Greek colony which grew quickly and became one of the most powerful towns along the western Black Sea Coast in the Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine era, as well as in the Middle Ages and the Ottoman period. Underwater studies in the region of Nesebar began in 1960. Sixteen underwater archaeological seasons were conducted in total (1960-1983 and 2017). During these studies, it was found that significant parts of the ancient town today are below the sea level. Ruins of fortification walls, towers, staircases, gates and other structures from the pre-Roman era, Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, were traced in various sectors around the peninsula.
