Descripción
The UNDP/FAO Project for the Development of Fisheries in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden RAB/83/028 (previously RAB/77/008 and RAB/81/002) commenced a joint biological study of the Gulf of Suez and Egyptian Red Sea fisheries during late 1979. Emphasis was directed towards the collection and analysis of data relevent to assessing the state of the fish stocks, and providing an improved basis for the management of the fisheries. This report contains the fifth of a series of stock assessments based on these data. It deals with the Goldstripe sardinella which is caught by purse seine principally from the Gulf of Suez, but also from more southern waters off the Egyptian Red Sea coast. During the study period the Goldstripe sardinella contributed up to 15% of the purse seine catches from the Gulf of Suez; and up to 20% of the catches from the more southern ground within and adjacent to Foul Bay.
