Due to the climatic conditions of Iran and the division of this country as an arid and semi-arid region (except coastal areas), it reminds us that most aquatic development activities in the country’s inland waters due to the great need for fresh water can practically not last long and stable in inland waters. In fact, scarcity of fresh water resources, increase in population and increasing need for fresh water for human and industrial use, as well as water sales with emphasis on economic competition of consumers, are all issues that greatly increase the risk of aquatic development in Iranian inland waters.
Increasing in technological advancement and economization of new methods of coastal aquaculture, as well as breeding in cages and pen systems, can all be considered as a sustainable and long-term development if they have feasibility studies and observe all environmental points (Eco-friendly).
To produce aquatic products and help provide part of the country’s food security are of particular importance. Unfortunately, despite the hundreds of kilometers of northern shores of the Caspian Sea, as well as the coastal region of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of ??Oman and the southern islands, this strategy is still not of particular importance. Focus on coastal development should be considered as the main strategy for sustainable aquaculture development.
