Abstract

As marine ecosystems are changing climate, and also; there is also clear evidence that fish species are threatened by fishery on a regional and global scale. For this reason, the assessment of the inherent vulnerability of major species of catches is of great importance. There are several indicators of vulnerability classifications, and one of the most important is the biological and ecological characteristics of fish. The major species of catches in the province were classified in four sections: low vulnerability class, medium vulnerability class, high vulnerability class and very high vulnerability class. In fact, we will build on this approach and have a better understanding of species variation and climate change, and will examine the risk of fish species being confronted with and their compatibility.
