The Persian Gulf fisheries are currently managed through regulations that restrict access to the fishery. These controls do not overcome the incentive for over fishing that follows from lack of ownership in open access fisheries. In such situation, there is need more effort to maintain catch and there is overcapitalization in the harvesting sector. ITQ system of fisheries management is increasingly recognized as a practical alternative to regulation. Traditional administration of fisheries as common property has failed to ensure fishery resource management. Wide world fishery management systems are now changing to sustainable utilization. ITQ s are part of this transition. Shrimp fishermen s opinion on the current shrimp management system and changing to a new ITQ system is examined in this study. By using a questionnaire and a stratified random sampling method, a total of 144 fishermen were interviewed in Hormozgan province. Descriptive statistics and contingency tables techniques were used to estimate the agreement of fishermen with ITQ system in the study area. The results indicated that most of fishermen are not agree to change the shrimp management system. Despite the result, it showed that the younger, more experience, higher education and lower income fishermen are most agree to change the current management system than the others . Although the overall result come out significant with ITQ system but it cannot be denied. There is need to comply ITQ system as a new management system to reduce current problems.Pages
