| Abstract | ||
| Tidal waves are one of the most effective factors in nutrients transferring in sea ecosystems, and following that, on the production of aquatic stocks and their exploitation. Various lunar cycles highly impact the amount of capture, behavior, movement, feeding, reproduction, and migration of different groups of fish. This effect is especially considerable for fish that live at shallow depths, such as fishing grounds in Khuzestan Province in the Persian Gulf. Hence, in this analytical article, the effect of lunar months and tidal waves on the exploitation of aquatic stocks along with other influential factors such as seasonal variations, fishing gears, socio-cultural relations of fishermen, wind blow, food and their habitat preferences has been studied. This information can be beneficial for fisheries cooperative societies, especially in Khuzestan province, to have better efficiency by spending less money and energy; and in the field of fishing administration, the issuance of maritime licenses should be done more purposefully. | ||
