The most impotent findings were reached through the period (1996-2013) were as following: The rate of annual increase in the total production, available for national consumption, and the capita average proportion attained about 9.9%, 6.7%, 5.2% from the averages were estimated in about 636.7 thousand tons, 818.2 thousand tons, 12.6 kg/year for the previous variables, respectively. The fishy gap decreased from 119 thousand ton in 1996 to 99 thousand ton in 2008, and in percentage estimated in about 16.8% in relative to 1996 year, as the proportion of self-sufficiency from fishes increased in about 92% from the average were estimated in about 77.8% through average period 1996 - 2013. The mount of exports offish attained its minimum amount about 0.6 thousand tons in 1996 year, and its maximum amount about 6 thousand tons in 2013 year, and the :s attained its minimum amount about 99 thousand tons in 1991, and its maximum about 345 thousand in 2003. There is an economic logic direct relationship between the available fish for population number and the retail price of red meat, whereas the preceding variables increase in as much as unit the consumption of fish increases in about l.4,35, 0.73 thousand tons respectively through the period (1996-2013). There is a significant direct relationship between the average proportion of per capita from fish and the average of each of individual income and the retail price of red meat whereas the two lasts increase in as much as one thousand pound, and piaster/kg increases the individual consumption from fish in as much as 0.581, 0.556, kg/year. | ||
