The marine fisheries of Egypt serve as a valuable economic resource, providing a significant source of sustenance and employment for its populace. However, the sustainability of marine fish stocks is beset by a multitude of challenges including the exacerbation of overfishing due to the augmenting fishing effort. In this study, the economic importance of fish production in Shalateen fishing grounds was studied to evaluate its fishery status. The computer program CEDA (catch effort data analysis), where the catch and effort data of the Shalateen fisheries were analyzed using the surplus production models of Fox, Schaefer, and Pell-Tomlinson with three error assumptions of normal, log-normal and gamma. The maximum sustainable yield (MSY) of the catch of some important fish was estimated in Shalateen to evaluate the present status of the fish stocks exploited in Shalateen waters.
