    Prefeasibility study for a shark and fish utilization enterprise in Quseir area, Egypt 1983
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Fisheries development mainly lies in the possibilities of identifying new investment opportunities in the fisheries sector. Thus, the development of fisheries along the Egyptian Red Sea Coast could only be achieved and maintained through integrated development/investment oriented projects. Preparing pre-feasibility and feasibility studies on such investments opportunities is one of the main objectives for the Project for Development of Fisheries in Areas of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (RAB/81/0 02). This report is one of these studies. The report includes four main sections: technical background; fishing enterprise; shark and fish processing enterprise; financial and economic evaluation.

    World markets and industry of selected commercially-exploited aquatic species with an international conservation profile 2004
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Over time, the international community has been launching several initiatives aimed at improving the conservation status of commercially-exploited aquatic species. The four separated studies of this report target four species or group of species with an international conservation profile and traditionally under-represented in market and industry literature. These species are sturgeons (Acipenseriformes), Caribbean queen conch (Strombus gigas), sharks (Chondrichtyes) and Patagonian toothfish (Dis sostichus eleginoides). The sturgeon and caviar industry is a commercial one, with traditionally high capture and export patterns. The queen conch fishery is an important provider of employment and income among fishing communities in the Western Central Atlantic area. The shark fishery is a relatively large and lucrative one. Sharks are mainly taken as bycatch of other commercial fisheries such as tuna and billfishes. The Patagonian toothfish is exploited by a large, commercial industry which is concentrated in the southernmost areas of the Atlantic and the Pacific and in Antarctic waters.

    Identification and brief financial evaluation for shark utilization project in the Republic of Djibouti 1983
    Also available in:

    This paper centered on the identification of a shark utilization project in Djibouti and provides a brief financial evaluation for the proposed project. The project investment cost is estimated at about FD 237.4million (US $1.4million) to be obtained by procuring an easy term loan. The investments will be required for the establishment of a pilot processing plant for sharks and other fish and five fully equipped fishing boats suitable for fishing sharks and other fish species. The financial anal ysis proved that the proposed project is feasible giving 38% internal rate of return. A substantial annual increase for about 600 tons of sharks and other fish species (fresh weight) are expected when the project becomes operational. Furthermore, the proposed project will provide about 54 new job opportunities with gross annual increase of FD 40million (US$ 229,000).
