چکیده
Despite the global trade of over 2 billion ornamental fish, Iran, with a production of 291 million pieces and employing 12,100 people, accounts for only 0.07% of global fishery exports. Therefore, to provide an overview of the potential development and challenges, we conducted research using an electronic questionnaire. We used the Mann-Whitney test to compare the means of two independent groups and Friedman's test to rank these factors. More than 60 farmers from 18 provinces participated in the study, with over 67% of their farms covering less than 500 m². The primary challenges were disease, poor nutrition quality, larval mortality, maintaining and improving water quality, and a shortage of skilled labor. Farmers aged over 32 emphasized water resource limitations more than younger farmers, and they also highlighted the importance of quality control and the inadequacy of existing laws and guidelines. In contrast, farmers under 32 emphasized the importance of collaboration between universities and research centers in addressing production issues. Water resource limitations and quality control were deemed more critical in farms producing over 20,000 pieces. In contrast, in farms larger than 300 m², education, the lack of professional training centers, production area constraints, and the role of academic research in ornamental fish were considered less important than in smaller farms. The issue of education and support, particularly for small-scale farms lacking fishery education, should be taken seriously.
