Abstract
Fishing is one of the most important economic activities in providing food security and livelihoods locally and globally. Fishing in the Persian Gulf also has the potential for Iran that can strengthen its position GDP of the agricultural sector. This study, with an overview of the fishing situation in the Persian Gulf, aims to present a detailed picture of this activity in southern Iran and its problems that can be used in order to exploit its potential and improve current conditions. The objectives of the study were followed by a combined SWOT-Fuzzy TOPSIS approach based on the opinions of experts in the field of fisheries in the south of Iran in 2018. The results of this study can be used as management strategies for enhancing fishing and exploiting fishing opportunities in the Persian Gulf, so that its potential can be exploited, while reducing the pressure on fish stocks. Based on the results, it was suggested strategies for enhancing fishing infrastructure in southern Iran, enhancing fishing technologies as high-efficiency fishing tools, establishing a modern fishing zone, stock assessment and developing laws according to its conditions, stock enhancement with fishing habitats and prioritize improved value-added fishing with modern marketing and the use of modern processing techniques.
