Description:
The Persian Gulf fisheries are currently managed through regulations that restrict access to the fishery. These
controls do not overcome the incentive for over fishing that follows from lack of ownership in open access
fisheries. In such situation, there is need more effort to maintain catch and there is overcapitalization in the
harvesting sector.
ITQ system of fisheries management is increasingly recognized as a practical alternative to regulation. Traditional administration of fisheries as common property has failed to ensure fishery resource management. Wide world fishery management systems are now changing to sustainable utilization. ITQ s are part of this
transition.
Shrimp fishermen s opinion on the current shrimp management system and changing to a new ITQ system is
examined in this study. By using a questionnaire and a stratified random sampling method, a total of 144
fishermen were interviewed in Hormozgan province. Descriptive statistics and contingency tables techniques
were used to estimate the agreement of fishermen with ITQ system in the study area.
The results indicated that most of fishermen are not agree to change the shrimp management system. Despite
the result, it showed that the younger, more experience, higher education and lower income fishermen are most
agree to change the current management system than the others . Although the overall result come out significant
with ITQ system but it cannot be denied. There is need to comply ITQ system as a new management system to
reduce current problems.
