Abstract

Despite extensive marine fishery resources off the 1,600-km coastline along the Red Sea as well as 500 km along the Arabian Gulf, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not been able to cater to the growing demands of its population domestic citizens as well as migrant workers and foreign residents. Large quantities of fish and other seafood products have been imported to partly satisfy domestic demand. In order to increase local production, and also better manage Saudi Arabia’s capture fisheries, and reduce its import bill, the Government has been encouraging the private sector to pursue aquaculture of finfish and shrimp.
