FAO/UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE) REPORTS ON FISHERIES
This document is Report No. TA 3028 in the series of FAO reports produced under the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Since 1 January 1966, reports produced under the former Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance (EPTA) have appeared in the UNDP (TA) series. The numbering of reports in the UNDP (TA) series is unbroken and follows consecutively the numbering of the former EPTA series.
Since 1 January 1962, those reports which concerned FAO technical assistance in fisheries have been numbered consecutively in a subseries within the general series.
The present report is the two hundred and eighteenth report in the fishery subseries FAO Fish.UNDP(TA)Rep., FIRI/UNDP(TA) 218.

FAO 1971 Report to the Government of Iran on a Programme for the Development of Inland Fisheries. Based on the work of A.P. Ivanov, Inland Fishery Biologist. Rep.FAO/UNDP(TA), (3028):57p.
FAO. Report to the Government of Iran on A Programme for the Development of the Inland Fisheries based on the work of A.P. Ivanov, Rome, 1971. 57p. United Nations Development Programme, Report No. TA 3028. ABSTRACT The annual growth of the world's population makes it necessary to meet ever increasing demands for protein. The Government of Iran is therefore making great efforts to raise crop yields and the productivity of animal husbandry as well as to increase catches of sea fishing. It is also concerned with the development of fish culture which, given proper management, can be a highly profitable branch of economy and provide a means for increasing the country's total protein product. Field work has been carried out in the Isfahan area, Pulur area and the Caspian plains, investigating potentialities for construction and establishment of fish culture stations. Results of the investigations are included in this report which also contains recommendations on the construction of a fish culture station combining both experimental work and fish production in the Isfahan area; fish rearing in rice fields; fish hatcheries construction and utilization of village reservoirs for production of market-size fish, as well as suggestions for establishing fish culture stations on the rivers of Lar and Neka. |
