    Yemen Arab Republic Pt. 1
    A survey system for quick estimates of some sectors of the fishing industry
    1981

    No results found.

    The FAO/CP World Bank Cooperative Programme conducted fishery missions in the Yemen Arab Republic leading to the preparation of a fishery development project. Their work has been based on the findings of FAO Trust Fund Projects. It was decided to carry out an intensive survey programme (June/July 1979 ) aiming to provide quick estimates of the required information, through the application of 3 surveys , in a period of 5 weeks. In addition to that, an Aerial Frame Survey had to be conducted in Se ptember 1979. In order to give more complete information, 2 more surveys were undertaken in addition to the proposed ones. In a period of 16 days, the 5 surveys carried out simultaneously, covered 6 landing places from Luhaya to Hodeidah in addition to marketing statistical studies at 4 inland fish markets. Although Jizan was not originally scheduled to be included, the report is supplemented by the study “An approach for estimating the number of Yemeni fishing units and their catches at Jizan” . It is worth noting that the Aerial Frame Survey was postponed indefinitely. The results have provided solutions to a number of problems which were encountered in previous visits. Nevertheless, the findings brought to light a number of problems that require further examination at Jizan (Saudi Arabia).

    According to the project document, the immediate objective are to aim at improving fishery production in the participating countries to benefit small scale fisheries and at developing the industrial potential; to prepare the ground, identify the means and initiate the reactivation and expansion of the existing marine fisheries and thereby to preserve the fishing communities; and to plan and, where appropriate, design and initiate investment-oriented development schemes. To survey the socio-econo mic aspects of the Red Sea fishing communities in the Yemen Arab Republic, various visits were arranged to these groups along the coast.

    Arab Republic of Egypt
    A pilot sample survey at Port Tawfiq, November- December 1980
    1981
    Also available in:

    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.
