Due to the lack of a comprehensive data collection system in Türkiye, the exact number of workers employed in the offshore aquaculture sector is not known. Furthermore, the number of occupational accidents and diseases among workers in offshore aquaculture systems cannot be determined. As the variety of techniques and equipment used increases, so do the risks to occupational health and safety, along with both the likelihood and severity of these risks. In addition to fatal and nonfatal accidents, occupational diseases have also begun to emerge. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the number of people employed in the primary fisheries and aquaculture sector worldwide was approximately 58.5 million in 2020. This figure includes employment in both hunting and aquaculture and there has been significant stability in aquaculture employment.
