WorldFish has been operating in Egypt since 1997, when it established a regional office to support its fisheries and aquaculture activities across Africa and West Asia. In addition to its office in Cairo, this included the renovation—supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)—of part of Egypt’s largest aquaculture research facility in Abbassa, located approximately 80 kilometers northeast of Cairo. While most of the Abbassa station remains under the control of the Central Laboratory for Aquaculture Research (CLAR), WorldFish continues to manage around 50 hectares of ponds, offices, and laboratories, and also operates a training center at the site.
