| The research targeted to identify the current situation of fish production in Red Sea through studying the development of both of the amount of production, the number of fishing vessels operating in, and the number of fishing workers, acquaintance on average per boat and fisherman from the volume of production, species composition of fish in Red Sea, as well as the relative importance of the main landing sites, the study of seasonal fluctuations and the most important problems facing the production in the Red Sea (within and outside the Gulf). The most important findings of the study were indicated by the results of statistical analysis: 1- Egypt's production of fish increased significantly by 43 tons and in a change rate attained about 5% of the average of total production during the period (1996-2011). 2- Number of the machinery fishing vessels in Red Sea increased significantly by 88 vessels and in a change rate attained about 7.7% of the average number of machinery vessels in Red Sea during the period of (1996-2011). 3- Number of fishermen decreased significantly by 1137 fishermen and in a change rate attained about 14.4% of the average number of fishermen during the period (1996-2011). 4- Declining the productivity energy from the overall average during the months of January, February, June, July, August, September and November, as value of the seasonal directory attained about 77%, 86%, 55%, 35%, 23%, 93% for each of them respectively. 5- Increasing the production capacity from the overall average during months of March, April, May, October, December, where seasonal directory reached about 112%, 129%, 124%, 158%, 122% for each of them respectively. This study recommends a set of recommendations and the most important of which are: 1- The application of laws that criminalize marine water pollution and tighten controls on factories overlooking the Gulf as well as marine vessels and increase the financial fines on them. 2- Establishing a risk fund to support fishermen during the fishing downtime or in the existence of fluctuations in production for other reasons and developing mechanisms to support the fund and put the determinants for the disbursement of compensation from Contribution of Bank for the agricultural Development and Credit for granting. 3- Fishermen short-term and long-term loans, similar to farmers. | ||||
