(MENAFN) The local fish production, between 13.000 and 15.000 tons per annum, is able to meet almost 80 percent of the nation's demand.
In order to meet the food security and self-sufficiency in fish production, the fisheries department at the Ministry of Municipality has put the five-year plan (2017-2021).
Meanwhile, to boost the production of fish and to protect the natural resources, the Ministry established the Aquatic Research Center in Ras Matbakh project.
Additionally, the types of fish produced in the Center will be sold on subsidized prices for fish farming, while these farms can buy any type of fish at any time.
