Productivity per hectare in the dam lake and the amount of fishable stocks has been calculated to be 13.67 kg ha-1 and 312.005 kg year-1, respectively. Fishable stocks have also been analyzed with respect to fish species. According to this, Capoeta sp. is estimated to be 184.107 kg year-1 (8.06 kg ha-1), Cyprinus carpio carpio is estimated to be 56.353 kg year-1 (2.47 kg ha-1), Barbus sp. is estimated to be 40.580 kg year-1 (1.78 kg ha-1), Squalius cephalus is estimated to be 30.455 kg year -1 (1.34 kg ha-1) and Onchorincus mykiss is estimated to be 510 kg year-1 (0.02 kg ha-1).
