Abstract

Due to the lack of published information on the commercial fish caught at the Al-Fao landing site, this study was done conducted from January to December 2022 to fill this gap in the literature. The collected data were collected  obtained  from the Fao Agriculture Division and obtained provided by the Al-Nasr Fish Society in Al-Fao City, southern of Iraq.  The total weight of the catch fluctuated between 825 tons in February, representing 6.7% of the total marketing fish, and 1418 tons in August, equivalent to 10.44% of the overall fish collected at the Al-Fao landing site. In total, the catch weighed 13585 tons. The present results showed that five families of fish in addition to small fish constituted 70.73% of the total quantities of fish at the landing site. Specifically, Nemipteridae accounted for 14.46%, small fish for 14.32%, Mugilidae for 12.04%, Sparidae for 11.74%, Lethrinidae for 10.12%, and Carangidae for 7.69% of the total weight of fish.
