The aim of this study was to assess the current status of inland aquaculture in Cankiri province by using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis technique and to provide recommendations for making aquaculture to be more effective in the future. SWOT analysis was based on the data that was obtained from interviews with the owners of the aquaculture facilities, literature data and observations from field studies.  Establishing fisheries cooperatives, subsidizing the fish production costs of fish farms, preparing province scaled management and production plans for fisheries, monitoring water resources for securing the water quality, changing consumer`s preferences are necessary for improving the Cankiri aquaculture sector.  The results further showed that, Cankiri province has a high potential for the inland aquaculture sector in the future if strengths and opportunities are used effectively and internal weaknesses are improved by reducing the impact of the external threats in planning.
