Study of possibilities of aquaculture activities in the Gorgan Bay

The Gorgan golf is one of unique ecosystem in Iran which has plenty of known and unknown ecological values. Different agents threaten this ecosystem such as severe exploitation of natural resource on human behalf. This must be restricted using an accepted programs otherwise the ecological situation of the Gorgan golf will be worsen and finally to be died. In these study biological circumstances of the golf has been investigated in order to evaluate its ecological capacity to develop a sustainable aquaculture activities. This study started from Sep, 2010 and lasted to Oct, 2011. On the basis of the results from this study, and with considerations of all environmental conditions some aquatic organisms recommended for aquaculture purposes such as common carp (Cyprinus carpio), Caspian sea salmon (Salmo truta caspius), sturgeons stellate (Acipenser stellatus), Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) and the great sturgeon (Huso huso). The farming procedure recommended as pen culture. In this study, the suitable surface of each pen, required information over each cultured species, suitable density and the amount of catch for each species have been determined. The amount of Nitrogen and Phosphorous originated from feeding and also secreted from fish species as the pollution index entered into the farming sites. The authorized amount of pollution factors for production and aquaculture in the Gorgan golf has been determined. In addition the study over the structure type for farming and also the suitable site for pen culture with consider to the facilities and conditions have been done. With notice to the above, with developing the aquaculture in this ecosystem, local workers will be run and plenty of capital will be invested and finally this will tend to the great revenues by producing of favor protein. This industry is able to change the region to a most important sites to produce aquatic organisms.
