Synopsis (short abstract) This report describes the activities of a master fisherman who worked with the project from October 1979 to April 1982. He analyzed the operations of purse seiners operating in the Gulf of Suez and recommended improvements which could substantially reduce the number of fishermen employed on each boat; he participated in a survey of conditions in West Sinai following its restoration to Egypt and made recommendations for future developments in the area; he carried out trials in the PDRY with botto m long lines and ring nets, the latter being very effective for catching 'flat herring’; and he carried out repairs to the project vessel in the Sudan. His main activities were concerned with the establishment of a community fishing Centre in Quseir, Egypt, being intimately involved not only with experimental fishing and training of fishermen but also with the physical and administrative structure of the Centre. He introduced gill netting into the area, demonstrating very clearly the potential o f this type of fishing and was actively concerned in the establishment of a number of very successful fishing camps on the Egyptian Southern Red Sea coast. Recommendations are made about the future development of the Centre both as regards its organization and the technical considerations involved.

    Report of the joint mission to plan development of the Sardinella fisheries in the Bali Strait 1977
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This report has been prepared by an FAO/IOP Mission to East Java, Indonesia, as a result of its investigation of the development prospects of the fisheries for Indian oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) in the Bali Strait. The technical details of the present fishery are dealt with, including the economics of the various operations, landing facilities and marketing and processing arrangements. The fishery has expanded considerably in recent years through the introduction of a large number of purs e seiners, a development which, given the limited nature of resources, now threaten the traditional fisheries which provide a living for a large number of fishermen. The Mission recommends that no more purse seiners be brought in until investigation of the resource shows whether or not it can sustain heavier fishing. Detailed proposals for the technical improvement of the existing craft and gear are presented and recommendations made with respect to the development of the infrastructure and the improvement of marketing operations. Credit facilities and institutional changes needed to facilitate these improvements are recommended.

    Final report 1984
    Also available in:

    This report covers the period from January 1981 when the author joined the Project (RAB/77/008), to his departure in April 1984 during RAB/81/002. Previous to joining the Project, he had visited the site in Port Sudan from 10 to 15 July 1980 and written a report giving the situation and suggesting action to be taken. The background situation described here is based on that report and some alterations made through being able to verify particular points more thoroughly during the three years of my employment in the area. The work was centered at two places at different times: Mohammed Qol and Suakin. The timetable was dictated by the nature of the work. The nature of the work was not affected by the change in the Project’s overall phases.
