Abstract
Having the Five Year Development Plans (FYDP) of the fisheries sector (Shilat) in mind, and based on the resources documentation and content analysis of two scenarios of the “continuation of the current trend” and the “optimal situation”, this research provides the future opportunities and threats and also suggestions towards improving the situation and relevant decision making. The assessment of production indices demonstrated that in each of the plans, except the third one, not a so-logical growth rate was envisioned for the fisheries development. Of 5% predicted growth in fisheries sector within 23 years, only 4.5%, or 90.3% of the goal, has been realized, which means the policies and programs have not been completely performed. Although possessing the world ranking of 21st in aquaculture and 32nd in fishing, potential and capacities in Iran indicate a far higher exploitation and utilization possibilities from the present resources, which require better policies and approaches as well as a large and targeted investment by the government

Abstract
Fish consumption in Iran is less than half the global average. While in terms of access to free waters and domestic water resources, Iran is among the countries is prone to increase fish production. The aim of this study is to measure the technical, managerial and scale efficiency of fisheries in Iran and the possibility of increasing production by increasing efficiency. The above-mentioned efficiency was measured during the years 2001 to 2011 using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and an input-oriented model. Results showed that the average technical, Managerial and scale efficiency are 0.89, 0.97 and 0.91 respectively. According to the results, the highest amount of efficiency was related to Managerial efficiency. Also, the lowest efficiency was related to technical efficiency. Thus the relevant organizations can to increase the proportion of industrial fishing with appropriate capital and the larger up fishing units simultaneously improve technical and scale efficiency. The results also revealed that in most years there are increasing returns to scale.

Abstract
To identify the behavior of fish consumer in Iran's largest fish market in order to improve sales and obtain customer satisfaction. After designing and completing the questionnaire, descriptive statistics and Friedman test, chi-square and stepwise regression were used for data analysis. Consumers were very much in agreement with the direct sale of Fish by producer in the market, government subsidies to buy fish, and the aquatic properties on the market. Their highest priority is to buy trout and then southern fish, shrimp, Caspian Sea fish and warm-water fish. More than half of consumers were introduced to the market for the first time through advertising and introducing their friends and acquaintances, and 46% were familiar with the market because of their home proximity. The most important marketing mix was advertising, and the most important reason for buying fish from this market was the freshness and diversity of the fish. Research shows that men buy more fish than women cross-country people, women born in coastal areas and high-income buyers. Given the tendency of consumer to be familiar with the market and the importance of advertising, paying attention to this and targeting male buyers will be very effective in market prosperity. Considering the numerous research results, including inserting aquatic properties and installing electronic signage on and off the aquarium in the market and helping improve household income is another way to improve customer satisfaction.

Abstract
The current study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the consumption of fishery products by households in Shiraz. All households of Shiraz city were the research population which 381 of them were randomly selected using simple random sampling method. The face validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed by a pilot study among 30 households of Neyriz Fars, respectively (Cronbach's alpha coefficients were computed between 0.62 and 0.83). The results of path analysis indicated that the households` income, the education level of the households` head, hygiene issues and awareness of fisheries products` benefits had a direct, positive and significant effect on the amount of fisheries products consumption by households. Also, the households’ income and hygiene issues had an indirect and positive effect on household attitudes toward fisheries products and then on the amount of consumption of these products through the mediator variables of awareness of fisheries products` benefits, sensory indicators and preference to buy from the direct market of fisheries. Moreover, the direct effect of awareness of the fisheries products` benefits, it had also an indirect and positive effect on the amount of fisheries products consumption by households through the mediator variables of market preference and attitudes toward fisheries products consumption. Finally, the study suggested that the media could play an effective role on modifying the households` attitude toward fisheries products consumption by educating different types of fish cooking methods as well as improving their awareness regarding the fisheries products` benefits.

Abstract
Fisheries tourism is one of the types of tourism that has not received much attention in Iran, despite its good status. The benefits of the tourism industry with the high potential of the fisheries and fishing industry can provide an ideal option to connect the two industries in order to leave the difficult conditions of the fishery areas and move toward development. The first step in planning for fisheries tourism development is to accurately identify the potentials and fisheries' attractions to absorb tourists. Thus, the present study aimed to identify the tourists’ attractions of fisheries using a qualitative methodology with an exploratory approach. This research was applied in terms of purpose, and is descriptive and survey in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of this study was relevant subject experts. Using the purposeful snowball sampling method, 23 experts were selected to determine the panel of the experts based on their subject expertise, experiences, and the theoretical adequacy principle. In three rounds, the attractiveness and attractive fisheries activities for tourism were identified using the Delphi technique. In the first round of Delphi, 30 attractions and attractive activities for fisheries tourism were introduced by experts. After the removal of the less important items in the second and third round of Delphi, finally, the consensus was reached about 12 attractions of fisheries tourism, in three categories of fishing and fishery, fisheries industries, and coastal aquaculture.
