The common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) is an important and valuable species in the Caspian Sea , whose catch has unfortunately decline sharply in recent years. In this research, the decline in catches of this species was investigated using catch per unit effort (CPUE) data from 1395 to 1400. The fork length of the samples varied from year to year , ranging from 17 to 75 cm during the six year study period. The dynamic parameters also varied in different years and did not follow a fixed pattern. The current fishing mortality rate compared to the biological reference points showed that the current fishing trend is higher than the optimal mortality coefficients and the mortality limit. The results indicate a critical situation for the future of the carp fishery. The continuation of this fishing policy will lead to a strong reduction and destruction of the stock.
