The FAO Fisheries Department has prepared a major review entitled
the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture, which includes
eight regional summaries. This Fisheries Circular provides more
detailed information for the region of the Near East and North
Africa and was used as a basis for preparation of the summary
for that region for the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture.
The preparation of the Circular has been the responsibility of
a Departmental Working Group consisting of: J. Prado (FIIT), A.R.
Smith (FIIT), J.M. Kapetsky (FIRI), Z. Shehadeh (FIRI), H. Ben
Alaya (FIPL) and R. Shotton (FIRM). The Working Group has been
led by G.V. Everett (FIPP) who was also the principal writer.
The Departmental Working Group wishes to acknowledge the contributions
made by R.J. Grainger (FIDI).
The FAO Fisheries Circular is a vehicle for the distribution of
short or ephemeral notes, lists, etc., including provisional versions
of documents to be issued later in other series.
