As of today, out of season, returns ~September. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Every autumn the Bosphorus is a migration corridor for several pelagic species that move between the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean.
Historically and today, autumn runs bring Atlantic bonito (palamut), bluefish (lüfer/çinekop), horse mackerel and other schooling species close to shore, producing visible shoals and intense local fishing activity.
