In the study, it is aimed to determine the fisheries related assets, financial conditions and annual incomes and expenses of the fishermen in Marmara Sea; to analyze the profitability and productivity comparatively; and to discuss the measures to be taken for the improvement of their activities. The data from 231 fishermen attained through questionnaires are utilized in the analyses. As a result, it is determined that the value and variety of the assets of fishermen increase with the vessel length. On the other hand, it is also determined that fishermen are under significant debt burden. In small vessel groups catching high priced species strategy is applied while in big vessels catching vast amount of target group species strategy is preferred. Estimated annual net profits, net fishery income, labor and capital productivity levels indicate that generally fishermen have achieved satisfactory outcomes.
