    The Islamic Republic of Iran has an established coldwater fish culture industry in both the private and public sectors, centred in the northern mountains close to the Caspian Sea and in other high areas of the country. Rainbow trout (Salmo gairderi) are grown to a market size of 250 g and above in conventional farms, predominantly using concrete raceways. Official 1987 production was 1 750 t from 20 licensed farms, but it is thought that unlicensed farms contribute about a further 1 000 t to the true total. The “Caspian salmon”, actually an anadromous trout (Salmo trutta), is grown in hatcheries to a size of 1–20 g before being released into the rivers and streams draining into the Caspian Sea. Demand for trout in Iran greatly exceeds domestic production. Consequently the Government is currently supporting a major programme to increase salmonid output, both by building state-owned hatcheries and on-growing units and by providing licences, land and juvenile fish to private farmers. Ex tension advice is also available through the Shilat (State fishery company). However, this rapid expansion of coldwater fish culture has resulted in a national shortage of trained people capable of managing trout farms or of providing an efficient extension service. In addition, there is a need for technical staff already actively working in the industry to update their knowledge. As no universities or colleges in Iran are presently equipped to offer specialized training in this field, the Gov ernment of the Islamic Republic of Iran requested FAO assistance in organizing and staffing a theoretical and practical training course in coldwater fish culture. Funding was agreed under FAO's Technical Cooperation Programme (project TCP/IRA/6755).
