Mr. Nayeri, CEO of Caspian Zhik Sanat, spoke about the opportunities and challenges of aquaculture from a socio-economic perspective. He said that the sustainability of natural resources depends on an effective relationship among the three areas of social, economic and environmental, and added that a balance must be struck between these three sectors.
After announcing the statistics of the number of employees in the world in fishing and aquaculture, he described the employment and income of this field and continued: “out of about 60 million people, one third is engaged in breeding activities and two thirds also work in the fishing sector. The statistics is changing in favor of the breeding sector. 14% of them are women.

Mr. Yousefi, CEO of the largest cage fish breeding complex in the south of the country (Niksa), appreciating Dr. Bahmani for pursuing the issue of cage fish farming and aligning research institutes and southern centers for effective research in this field, said: It seems that in these meetings, the presence of a representative of the veterinary organization is also necessary to improve the work process.

Mr. Izadi, from Fisheries Organization of Iran, after presenting a report on the challenges and the current situation in aquaculture production, said that one of the most important methods of aquaculture is fish farming in sea cages.
He said: "In this industry, so far we have had 480,000 tons of public requests to start activities and for 175,000 tons of fish, establishment licenses have been issued. Meanwhile, the amount of production in 2020 is less than 13 thousand tons. "
Technological needs, solutions to socio-economic challenges, and the importance of incentive policies to drive local communities toward sustainable aquaculture were other important points that Mr. Izadi described. He added: "Among the strategies for developing cage fish farming is to produce juvenile fish in the country, provide facilities, eliminate cumbersome laws, breeding and domesticate native species such as Fourfinger threadfin and Red mouth grouper and create a system for selling farmed fish."
