In conformity with programming to harvest from virgin resources of
Myctophids iBenthosetna pterotums in the Oman Sea (Iranian waters), a series of
research cruises and trial fishings were carried out from 1992 to 1998. Assessment
of B. pterotum stocks was carried out using the data obtained from a series of
seven cruises conducted by RIY Ferdows I in the Iranian waters using modern
scientific echo sounder of EK500 system in 1993-94, with complementary
monitoring surveys in the following years. The biomass estimates ranged from I to
4 million tones with an average of 2.3 million tons. A number of fishing operations
using mid-water trawls were also performed in 1994-1998 using the same vessel.
Distribution of B. pterotum was found to be all around the Oman Sea. The dense
schools of this species were found in the northwest areas of the Iranian waters.
Also the FlY Jahad Fanoos was applied during 1994-95 to do some trial fishings
and its maximum catch was SOt /h.
