Abstract

One of the requirements for the development of aquaculture is to increase the attractiveness of this sector for investment through the introduction of products with high added value such as sturgeon. The long growth period and the high cost of feeding most species of sturgeon have made it difficult for many breeders to invest in this sector. But, instead of the high profitability of breeding this type of fish, it can be very attractive and cause the development of domestic and foreign investments. The aim of this research was to determine the factors influencing the attraction of foreign investors in sturgeon breeding in the country. The research method used in this research was field method and factor analysis. The statistical population of this research includes experts in the fishing profession and the questionnaire information was completed by these people in 2022. To fit the generality of this plan, three r m s Theta, NFI and SRMR (measure of average difference between data) indices were used. The findings of the research showed that the methods of attracting foreign investors in fisheries projects were influenced by the climatic conditions, government policies in the country and the reform of the structures, and appropriate policies should be applied to achieve these goals.
