Synopsis (short abstract) One of the general aims of the Project is the improvement of fisheries statistics in the participating countries. No wonder, fisheries statistics may be considered as the scientific base of biological studies and investment investigations. Since accurate fisheries information depends greatly on collecting statistical data on a high level of performance, it follows that securing well-trained personnel is essential. Taking into account the continuity of collecting fisheries data, the Project gave much attention to theoretical and practical statistical training of counterparts, supervisors and enumerators in each of the participating countries. To guarantee a full comprehension of statistical operations, besides obtaining valuable information on the total and composition of catches, pilot sample surveys were established as follows: Sudan at Khur Kelab, Saudi Arabia at Tuwwal, Egypt at Port Tawfiq. Although it is well known that a comprehensive study of a fishery, necessitates collecting s tatistical data for a period of at least a year, this report may throw some light on Port Tawfiq Fishing Centre and, in particular, may serve as a simple guide to counterparts in the participating countries when tabulating results.

    Integrated information on the infrastructure of the fishing industry can be easily obtained through the application of "Quick Estimates Surveys". Furthermore, the new strategy which had been adopted for carrying out these surveys, resulted in information that were more linked and more consistent, For instance, tables of the wholesale and retail prices besides the landed catch (by species) on the same day at Ataka and Port Tawfiq fishing sites, were the outcome of the application of this strategy . Frame Surveys showed that Suez is self-sufficient in fishing boats and ice. Detailed information on fishing craft is shown in the first eighteen tables. Catch Assessment Surveys, together with interviews that were held with the staff of the Fisheries Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Suez have proved that there is a temporary immigration of fishermen to Ataka during its fishing season (Mid Sept. - Mid June) from fisheries in other governorates. Besides, as a result of this survey, it can be c oncluded that Ataka is the most productive fishing site on the Red Sea. Results of Cost and Earning Surveys, which are very essential for investment investigation and studies, were tabulated in detail according to type of boats.

The types of statistics necessary for such purpose are enumerated by considering each of the three phases of the fishing industry which are: catching fish; processing, curing and preservation; marketing and d istribution. Appropriate methods for collecting data for the estimation of these statistics are also discussed. The requirements of minimum staff are also indicated.
