MAIN EXPIRTSE:

- Defining and delineation of the fishing gear and fishing methods for appropriate catch. - Appropriate collection and handling systems for marine fish fry. - Successful rearing of fish fry. - Construction of shrimp farms and seed supply. - Artificial spawning of valuable marine fish (sea bass and sea bream). - Surveying polluted areas and defining of types pollutants. - Assessing pollution hazards come out from ship accidents. - Setting technical specifications for marine ports and platforms. - Defining, delineation, and identification of coral reefs, conservation, and development. - Environmental Impact assessments (EIA) Physical, chemical, geological and biological; of coastal and marine projects. - Methods of sewerage and agro drainage combat. - Decontaminating seafood from pollutants. - Advising and consultation for fish culturists. - Offering the practical and cheap technology of sewerage treatment. - Cheap techniques of jellyfish combat. SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL SERVICES:

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS: 1-Research on the Increase of Fish Production. 2-Research on the Shore Protection and Coastal Environment and Realization of Sustainable Development. 3-Research for the purpose of Tourism. 4-Research on National Projects. 5-Services Rendered to others. 6-Foreign Scientific Relation.
