Iran: quota

Commercial fishing is banned on certain marine creatures during particular times of the year.
Shrimp fishing is forbidden during the months November and December, said an Iranian expert adding that the period is subject to changes whenever the situation arises.There are also limitations on the catching of green tiger shrimps and white shrimps in the Iranian side of Persian Gulf.
He added that deep sea bottom trawling has to stop. It is considered the most destructive form of fishing.
Ninety-five percent of the material caught in deep sea bottom trawlers' steel nets that are dragged along the seabed, are thrown back overboard, dead, destroyed or dying.



Head of and Internet Services Provider (ISP) company Hossein Ejtehadian said Friday in an interview with ISNA, that Iran’s optical fiber network is disconnected once a month, on average.
Disconnections in country’s optical fiber network create problems for the users mostly, and for the ISP’s secondly.
At times when the country’s optical fiber network is disconnected the subscribers assume by mistake that the ISP’s are to be blamed.
In advanced countries due to diversity of optical fiber networks, at times of disconnection of one the others are automatically replaced and the uses do not even notice the problem.
Ejtehadian emphasized that the capacity of present back up systems is enough for 60 to 70% of the country’s Internet traffic.He said that the way to give an end to such problems is to provide parallel paths.
“The infrastructure companies pay some compensation to the country’s telecom network at times of problem emergence, and the Iranian TCI, too, pays fines for the suffered losses to the ISP’s and ICP’s in the long run.”
