Therefore, this paper aims to reveal the industry`s contribution to Türkiye's economic growth. We analysed the effect of fisheries production on economic growth by employing the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model from 1990-2019. The results showed a positive relationship between fisheries production and economic growth in the long-term. We hope this paper will support the policy-makers and development agencies in their efforts to reshape the industry in Türkiye towards an increased role in economic development in a sustainable manner.
