An Economic, Statistical and Social Study on the Impact of the Purification and Development Operations of Lake Edku, Egypt
Egyptian fisheries including aquaculture represent an important sector in the national economy in addition to being a source of employment. All studies dealing with the stock assessment and fisheries management in Egypt confirmed the over-exploitation situation for almost all commercial stocks, which lead to a serious decrease in domestic fish production from natural resources. Although Egypt has vast fishing resources, marine and inland, it imports about 500 thousand tons annually to overcome the gap between production and consumption. Lake Edku is considered one of the important sources of fish production in Egypt. Nevertheless, numerous challenges arose causing the reduction in both the area and production of the lake, as well as hindering its development. This research shed light on Edku Lake during the period 2000-2019 in order to identify some of the physical characteristics of Lake Edku, and its relative importance, adding to the social and economic characteristics of fishermen and their families. Besides, the study suggested some proposals for the development and purification of the lake.
