Predicting the Future status of catching the stocks of Persian Sturgeon (Acipenser persicus, Borodin 1897) on the coasts of Golestan province by using Dynamic Modeling

Abstract

This study used a dynamic model to predict the fishing status of the Persian Sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) along the coast of the Golestan province in the Caspian Sea. The findings indicated that based on the initial population in 2017 equal to 2500 samples of fish if harvested at the current rate, the stocks of this valuable sturgeon fish will be destroyed in the next 50 years. However, when considering the harvest rate of 0.2 per year (nearly half of the current catch), the amount of fish harvested will increase so that this stock will completely regain its ability to regenerate itself.
