WorldFish in Egypt

Abstract

Since launching its research program in Egypt in 1998, WorldFish has delivered high quality, practical research related to the country's aquaculture and fishery sector. A key research focus has been on improving fish genetics to transform Egypt into a role model for African aquaculture development. WorldFish works closely with aquaculture stakeholders, the private sector and government organizations to deliver research on increasing aquaculture productivity, increasing the flow-on benefits of fish farming to women and youth, and enhancing fish value chains.
