Abstract
There are some directions towards drying the internal lakes for agricultural production purposes, in spite of their importance as main sources for fish production which led to fish nutritive gab which increases yearly., so, to overcome this problem we had to compensate this shortage by import, which led to a problem, with two branches: first is the foreign currency, the second which is more important, how to keep a minimum of national production.
That is will be achieved by following a correct scientific management of available water sources.
Marriott's lake is one of the most important fish production lakes, but vIe noticed a gradual decreasing in its area from 60 thousand feddan in 1965 to approximately 15 thousand feddan in our present time, moreover, it is very polluted, which reflected negatively, on the lake's environment, and affected negatively on it's fish production.
As a result of that, some kind of fish had been disappeared and other kinds had decreased; we see clearly that in year 2002, the production of Marriott's lake from all kinds offish was 5303 ton which represented 3.13% from the total production of all lakes which was 169310 ton approximately.
That indicates the low rate of sharing of the lake's fish production.
That is due to it's pollution, where had been decreased from 23 ton (1997- 1999) decreased to 10 ton through (2000-2002)., and to avoid that decreasing we have to apply the biological balance in the lake, that will avoid loosing of high quality fish kinds.
In the same time we have to reduce pollution, stopping unfair fishing, fishing - net holes to be limited, organizing the fishing efforts. Organizing of non-fishing periods according to Biological and realistic information to get correct data which shares in using of the important sources.
In addjtion to that we have to issue some legislation's which protect the whole lake area from transgressions, that's will keep the whole environment, specially the water environment.
Also, we must stop filling-up of lake's shores by establishing of tourism projects.
-Its necessary to find an other direction for AI- Alkah's drrain to pour its water far from the lake to keep its environment and its stored same time we have to feed the lake by a new un-polluted water to reduce the harmful effect of AI-Alkah water.
-No more licenses for artificial projects around the lake.
-Purify the bottom of the lake from pollution which accumulated through many
years.
Through this study, its clear that the fishing fleet in Marriott's lake is consists of just sail- boats or paddle boats, they are about 2003 boats which represents 9.50% from the total number of sail-boat in all lakes, and about 4.75% from the whole number of sail- boats all over the republic, through the overage period (1995-2000).
Its clear that the fishers number in Marriott's lake was about 223 fishers, which represents abort 1.02%, 0.32% from the whole number of fishers in all lakes and all over the republic in the same period.
