| dc.description | Iran has an excellent potential for the further development of coldwater fisheries, which is presently at a standstill. The estimated coldwater fish production in Iran has been rather low - about 1 750 t from 60 ha of 20 licensed farms. An additional 1 000 t/year of trout was estimated to be produced on non-licensed farms. Currently, a major government programme to increase the production of Caspian salmon and rainbow trout is under way. Owing to this rapid expansion of coldwater fisheries, a sh ortage of skilled coldwater fish-farm managers and experts has occurred. At the request of the Government of Iran, FAO recruited a Senior Aquaculturist from 14 August to 2 September 1987 to assess the coldwater fishery potential and needs in Iran and to identify the major lines of development. He reported that, in addition to a shortage of fish feed, widespread diseases and difficulties in maintaining the quality of fish feeds, the lack of technical training limited the further development of coldwater fisheries. The Government of Iran accordingly requested FAO assistance in training in coldwater fisheries. This assistance was approved by FAO in September 1987 under the Technical Cooperation Programme, project TCP/IRA/6755. The total FAO contribution was $US 90 000, and the duration of the project was 14 months. The Ministry of Agriculture was designated as the government agency responsible for project execution. The objective of the project was to strengthen the national capacit y in coldwater fisheries. | |
