1977Also available in:
No results found.The discussion on artisanal fisheries development in the Yemen Arab Republic deals with the mission activity in the analysis of the existing situation in North Yemen, the definition of an appropriate development strategy and proposals for action. It forms a composite review of the fisheries situation with the specialized marketing study (Annex I) -
DocumentReport on a survey of some sites in and around Hodeidah, Yemen Arab Republic, with a view to assessing their suitability for aquaculture development 1983
Also available in:
No results found.This report examines the possibilities of developing aquaculture in the Yemen Arab Republic. Although the physical conditions along the country's Red Sea coastline are not particularly favorable to such development, two areas are identified as being suitable for limited pond culture. Other areas are considered suitable for pen and cage culture. A number of species occur in the capture fisheries which would be suitable for aquaculture. It is pointed out that investigations are required to ascerta in the availability of juveniles of species intended for capture and of fish feed constituents. Trained personnel and facilities are also essential. A preliminary action plan for aquaculture development over a four-year period is outlined, giving estimated expenditures and possible revenues. However, it is recommended that, before any activities are commenced, further survey by a multidisciplinary team be carried out. -

Also available in:
In comparison with other parts of the world, the CECAF Region has a relatively small population of 145 million spread over a vast land area at the low density of 18 persons per square kilometre. However the area and population of each country vary greatly and, for example, the population of Nigeria dominates the region with over 40 percent of the total. There are also wide disparities among the countries in respect to the structure of their economies, the degree of industrialisation achieved, an d the abundance of natural resources. Despite these differences, the countries, with few exceptions, are characterised by low per caput incomes, low personal consumption, low levels of education and health, and low standards of living in general. About two million tons of the present approximate total CECAF catch of 3.5 millions are caught by foreign-based vessels and never landed at coastal ports prior to shipment to other markets. Over half of the catch of foreign-based vessels is taken by v essels of the Soviet Union. The most abundant fish resources of the Region are concentrated off a relatively lowly populated coastline stretching from southern Morocco to Sierra Leone, and the principal species caught are sardinella and horse mackerel. Around the coast there are some localised stocks of high value species, such as shrimp and cephalopods, which, although caught in small quantities, form the basis of important locally - based fishing operations. Brackish water fisheries, togethe r with aquaculture, account for only a small percentage of total landings. It is not expected that the total catch of the Region will rise as sharply in the future as in the recent past because many important stocks have now reached their upper limit of exploitation. In order to maintain high fish catches, there is an urgent need to improve the collection of biological data to aid stock assessment and resource management.
