Fishing lantern trawl; Environmental, social and economic aspects of the Oman Sea

Lanternfish is one of the most important and aquatic reserves in the Oman Sea. After the cessation of the fish lantern fishing project provided by foreign vessels owned by Iranian companies by the Iranian Fisheries Organization, the impact of the activity of foreign vessels on aquatic resources should be considered for reasons other than those envisaged in the contracts and research plans. Lighthouse fish stocks in the Oman Sea can be an important part of fishmeal production as a result of aquatic feed production, and the main purpose of the lighthouse fishery project was to use these stocks in fishmeal production. In this paper, Iran's macro-fisheries policies in the industrial fishing development plan in the waters of the Oman Sea and the impact of trawling on the marine environment and the economic value cycle of the lighthouse fishing plan with respect to the reduction of other aquatic reserves have been studied. However, overfishing of Oman Sea resources by foreign vessels, and illegal traditional fishermen, has put many commercial aquatic species at risk of extinction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the different operational aspects of the lantern fishing project in the northwestern waters of the Oman Sea from longitude 57 east to longitude 58 east and latitude 25 to 26 north.
