Fishing companies play significant role in value-added generation in Bushehr province. According to the current conditions and based on natural potentials, fisheries are the main sector in economic development of the Bushehr province. The purpose of this paper is to identify, analyze and rank factors affecting productivity of Bushehr fishing companies using group analytical hierarchy process (GAHP) technique. We applied two standard questionnaires which were filled with 100 fishermen and 18 fishery experts. The first group of questionnaires was used to assess the two main factors: Internal and external and five subfactors including: Governmental, structural, natural, soft and hard ware aspects. The second group was used to rank the same indentified factors in the first group of questionnaires. Results indicated that fishery headquarter of the governmental sub-factor, economic changes of the structural sub-factor, management approaches of the software sub-factor and the catch tonnage and its composition of the hardware sub-factor are the main parameters affecting productivity. Suggestions were made to improve productivity of the fishing companies in Bushehr province.Journal
