ABSTRACTA numerical ocean model of the Turkish Straits System (TSS) has been implemented based on the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). Model results and satellite Sea Surface Temperature (SST) were used to understand the connection between the Dardanelles Strait outflow and wind stress during the model integration. To extent the time period beyond the model integration time, a proxy variable representing the amount of the Dardanelles Strait outflow was constructed based on above connection. The inter-annual variability of the water transport between 1978-2013 is investi- gated by using this proxy variable. It is shown that the variability in the Black Sea Water (BSW) outflow is highly correlated with the fish catches in the Aegean Sea.
