In spite of its wide distribution, this is mainly caught as a by catch product when using trawls and trammel nets.
It is available all year round.
Even though the comber has been a bycatch species in trawling operations, it is now becoming an economically important fish species on the Turkish Coast of Aegean Sea, because of its low market price.
Since this is a bycatch product and a fish that is abundant and resilient to fishing pressures, fish for tomorrow recommends comber for consumption.
