No results found.Animal protein deficiencies are wide-spread in both rural and urban Iran. One means of increasing low-cost protein foods is the production of fish. The Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf are at present the main sources of fresh fish, but the catches of such favoured inland fishes as the whitefish and souf have declined to very low levels. Development of inland fisheries can provide much of the needed protein. To do this there is need to investigate the possibilities of fish culture and manageme nt of inland waters. Trained personnel are needed and a fish culture training and research centre could provide this personnel. In this project, a search was made in the Caspian plains, the Tabriz, Isfahan, and Shiraz areas for sites where fish cultural stations, village fish ponds, and large community ponds could be built. The report contains descriptions of these sites, and the results of water analyses of their water supplies. The Iranian trout and Caspian “salmon” programme is reviewed and suggestions made for its development. At present, there are no rice fields in either the Caspian plains or the Persian Gulf area used for the protection of fish. In the Caspian area, only one crop of rice is grown annually and after the harvest in late August and early September the fields remain idle until the spring plantings areas were selected near Amol where demonstration rice fields culture could be undertaken. Some information is presented on the investigations of inland, fresh waters and water quality control. The need for a single Department of Fisheries to obtain a coordinated programme for the development and management of the inland waters of Iran is indicated. -

No results found.This report, which is based on a short mission to the Islamic Republic of Iran, reviews the present status of inland water fisheries and fish stocks in a diversity of water bodies. The information in this report is based on discussions with the fisheries experts of Iran and on a visit to Gilan, Mazandaran, Khuzestan and Fars Provinces. It is supplemented by data available from literature. The following major topics are considered: Caspian Sea fish stocks, especially sturgeon; Caspian coastal lag oons, lakes and bays; migratory and non-migratory fish of commercial importance, and the effects of river regulation and water diversion on them. The significance of marshes in southern Iran for maintaining valuable migratory fish stocks is also considered. Reservoir fisheries development, especially with regard to the increasingly common practice of stocking hatchery-produced fry and fingerlings of Chinese and common carp, is also discussed and some suggestions for improvement made. The report stresses the need for research and systematic data collection if inland fishery development is to be established on a rational and scientific basis. Two draft project proposals are given in the Annexes to this report: (i) Training course in inland fisheries development, and (ii) Anzali lagoon productivity and fish stocks investigations. Another draft proposal calls for an international meeting on the Caspian Sea fisheries resources which would initiate dialogue and later lead to technical collab oration in various fields of common interest to both coastal states. -
