The Sustainable Development of Fish Resources in Lake Bardawil, North Sinai Governorate Using Geographic Information Systems: A Study in Economic Geography
Journal Title: Journal of Sustainable Development in Social and Environmental Sciences - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Lake Bardawil is one of the purest Egyptian fish lakes. It is famous for its production of the finest types of luxury fish such as gilthead bream, basses, and soles which are internationally ordered. The lakeâs production of luxury fish was about 1592 tons in 2020; i.e., 0.7% of the total fish production from Egyptian lakes. Investigating the development of fish production of the lake showed apparent fluctuation in the quantities produced during 2011-2020: the production reached its peak in 2011, scoring about 4529 tons; then it decreased continually to reach its lowest score (1592 tons) in 2020, at a rate of change by 64.8%. Studying the lakeâs fish classification showed that gilthead bream ranked first in terms of production by 30.6% of the total production of the lake in 2020, while soles ranked last coming by 4%. In order to achieve the sustainable development of the lake's fish resources, the study addressed some underlying problems and obstacles that could be controlled and resolved. The study recommends the periodical cleanliness of the lake's straits to maintain its ecological balance, and the ban on illegal fishing practices which adversely affect both the aquatic environment at the bottom of the lake and, in turn, the biological stock of fish.
