REPORT ON THE SURVEYS OF ANGOLAS MARINE FISH RESOURCES JANUARY 1985 - JUNE 1986
These are restricted to the shelf south of abt 15o S and their abundance in Angolan waters must be expected to show seasonal fluctuations with a maximum in southern winter - spring.
In addition to the mean standinmg biomass over the year, their seasonal availability in Angolan waters will also be indicated..
The commercially most interesting forms, seabreams, croakers, groupers and larger grunts represented about 25 per cent of the bottom fish biomass in Region 3, Benguela - Luanda and about 35 per cent in Region 4, Luanda-Cabinda..
Various species of deep sea shrimp inhabit this regime.
A small sized shrimp Nematocarcinus africanus was found in abundance between 300 and 600 m..
The estimate of the commercial shrimp stock of abt.
Thus the survey with the Cuban research vessel “Isla de Juventud” in 1976/77 gave estimates of the biomass of commercial shrimp in the area of abt.
Seabreams 59 Benguela hake 42 Croakers 19 Greeneyes 12 Grunts, large 3 Shrimp, larger 4 Groupers 2 Shrimp, smaller 6 Cape hake 4 Sharks 2 Others 143 Other fish 26 Total 230 Total 94 As mentioned under Section 3.1 above in terms of marine production system and certain ecological features the Angolan coast can be compared to the coastal area off north west Africa from Mauritania to Guinea.

Interview with Dr. Joel Martin — CReefs Cruise Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
Since I was about 8 years old I have known that I was going to study some aspect of the sea.  My parents used to split our vacations between the mountains and the sea.  I grew up in North Carolina and half our vacation time we would spend up in the mountains, the other half we would go to Naggs Head Beach, and I knew very early on that I had a fascination with the sea.  I didn’t know what form that would take, but I did know that I would spend my life associated with the sea in some shape or form.  .
3.     Have you worked on a ship at sea before, such as this one? .
I have spent some time at sea, not nearly as much as some of these scientists who spend several months of the year at sea.  I’ve spent time at sea in the Gulf of Mexico, and off the East Coast of the U.S.
A couple of years ago I was on the Atlantis, out of Seattle, with the little Alvin submarine.
I find myself very fortunate to work with a group that is so diverse.  If I were to compare it to being a vertebrate biologist, it would be like studying birds one day, and then salamanders another, and deep sea fishes the next.  There is so much range within the crustaceans, and for someone with a relatively short attention span, it works out beautifully, because there is no shortage of interesting things.  Most of my work is with the decapods, that is, the crabs, shrimps, lobsters, and their allies and relatives, but I also work with some freshwater groups – little fairy shrimps, tadpole shrimps, clam shrimps -  and those guys live anywhere.

Crown Prince Abdullah inspects Red Sea shrimp farm
Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz returned to Jeddah today from a visit to a shrimp farm in the area of Al-Laith on the Red Sea, where he inaugurated the first phase of the complex constructed for the National Shrimp Company.
The new shrimp farm has a production capacity of 30, 000 tons per year, most of which is being exported.

Ten Days At Sea. (Shrimp trawler blues)
The sixty five foot shrimp trawler is tied up at the dock in St.
crabbing, bill fishing........hell, any type of living made from the sea is a hard, dangerous and lonely existence.
Reminds me of shrimpers I have known, and also guys on boats in the Aleutians.
I've got to go search out that news.).
