    Meeting report
    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.

    Summary review of Red Sea commercial fisheries catches and stock assessments including maps of actual and potential fishing grounds 1981
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Available literature concerning the Red Sea commercial fisheries is examined, from which a summary of information concerning catches, catch rates, species compositions, extent and locations of fishing grounds and stock assessments is presented, in respect to each main category of fisheries type and country. It is tentatively concluded that the potential Red Sea yield is some 160.000 tons annually, of which 56% is expected to result from the application of artisanal methods, 23% from trawling and the rest possibly from purse seining. The southern half of the Red Sea is seen as considerably more productive than the northern part, with the exception of the Gulf of Suez.

    A solar dome dryer for drying of fish 1983
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This paper presents the results, analysis, and discussion of four experimental trials conducted in Aden, comparing sun drying and solar dome drying of three species of fish. Solar dome drying is shown to be a realistic proposition compared with sun drying principally due to the very low losses achievable with solar dome drying. Technical feasibility of this methodology has been effectively demonstrated and should be supplemented by an economic feasibility evaluation. A description of the solar d ome dryer is also presented.
