Synopsis (short abstract) The paper presents the existing Statistical Systems for the collection and estimation of fishery data covering both the fresh waters and marine waters in Sudan. The patterns of production in the Nile and El Nuba Lake, the Blue Nile, and White Nile in the northern region, and in the marine waters have been examined with respect to their distribution over months and species composition of the catches for the years 1980 and 1979. The associated fishing efforts in terms of boat - days and fisherman - days, have been estimated in some cases. The mode of disposition of catches has also been studied. The total fish productions in Sudan during 1980 and 1979 were estimated at 26.283 tons and 28.628 tons respectively. Out of the total the productions from the fresh waters constitute 96-97%, the rest being accounted for by the productions from the marine sector.

    The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Government of the United Arab Emirates is deeply involved with the development of marine fisheries in the country and to develop a statistical system which will produce appropriate statistics to measure the growth of development taking place. 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.

    Marine fisheries statistics in Sudan
    An expanded plan of development
    1983
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The paper evaluates the existing status of marine Fisheries Statistics in Sudan and describes the type of data that are needed for economic evaluation of fisheries and biological/stock assessment studies. A phased two-year plan of development of a statistical system covering marine fisheries in Sudan is proposed. The system is based on regional concepts and uniform definitions of statistical items to facilitate inter and intra country comparability of the collected fishery data. The methods of c ollection of data are described in details; the facility requirement by way of manpower and equipment is examined. The cost estimate for running the two-year programme is worked out and the potential benefits are indicated.
