The research vessel DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN operated for 18 years (1975 to 1993), surveying shelves and slopes of tropical and subtropical regions. The main objective was to provide developing countries with relevant information on their fishery resources, including distribution and biomass estimates that could be used for estimating stock potentials. The vessel was funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), the United Nations Development Programme (UNEP) and operated through a cooperation between the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) and FAO. This CD-ROM contains the various reports of the survey carried out in the period from 1975 to 1989. It also contains the FAO Fisheries Technical Paper No. 391, "The DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN Programme 1975-1993. Investigations of fishery resources in developing regions. History of the programme and review of results."

The ten countries which border the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden depend to varying degrees on the area for their fish supplies with some countries such as South Yemen being totally dependent on the fish resources while to others, such as Israel and Jordan, the area is of minor importance. Catches of all fish species have been increasing slowly in recent years and in 1986 totalled 60.9 thousand tons from the Red Sea and 99.4 thousand tons from the Gulf of Aden. After reviewing the resource assessment and survey work which has been carried out in the area it was concluded that further increases in landings could be achieved on a sustainable basis. However such increases will come from the development of new fisheries and the expansion of the areas presently Fished rather than from traditional fisheries which are, in general, fully exploited. Utilization and marketing problems, particularly with small pelagic and mesopelagic species, however need to be addressed for the full potential of the area to be realized.
