The Persian and Arabian Gulfs host diverse marine ecosystems, supporting a plethora of bony fish species crucial for local economies and ecosystems. However, mounting anthropogenic pressures, including overfishing, habitat degradation, and climate change, pose significant threats to the persistence of these species. This study examines
the hazards of regional extinction for marine bony fishes in the Persian and Arabian Gulfs. By synthesizing current knowledge on population trends, ecological dynamics, and anthropogenic stressors, we assess the vulnerability of key species to extinction within the region. We highlight the complex interactions between natural and anthropogenic factors driving population declines and discuss the implications for marine biodiversity conservation and sustainable fisheries management. Additionally, we propose strategies for mitigating the identified hazards and enhancing the resilience of marine bony fish populations in the Persian and Arabian Gulfs. This research underscores the urgent need for collaborative, science-based conservation efforts to safeguard the future of these vital marine ecosystems and the livelihoods they support.
