In May it was reported that 515 motors have al- ready been distributed among 64I fishermen who requested them in the districts around the towns of Carupano, Cumana, Puerto La Cruz, La Guaira, Puerto Ga- bello, Las Piedras, and Maracaibo. Marine engines and marine hardware are not manufactured in Venezuela and must be imported (Table 1). However, almost all of the boats used by the Venezuelan fishing industry, the largest user of small craft in Venezuela, are constructed locally of native woods, with the addition, in seme cases, of imported pitch pine. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that there are in the neighborhood of 5,000 fishing craft of all types in Venezuela, a very small percentage of which are motorized. They are built by native craftsmen in small-industry, widely di- versified areas. There are only two small shipyards of importance, one Govern- ment-owned, and one private. There are no special regulations covering the imr- portation of marine motors, hardware, and small craft, except certain small duties, PRODUCTION OF EDIBLE FISH IN THE RED SEA The fish marketing system in Egypt is not well organized. There are only 3 fish merchants in Suez who buy on a com- paratively large scale for distribution to retail markets. One of these ovms a transport and sends a supply to Cairo daily. These shipments average 2 metric tons of fish per day, but amount to as much as 5 to 6 tons on days in which good catches are landed. Lack of refrigeration facilities and well organ- ized distribution methods as well as irregular volume in catch cause considerable price fluctuation. Processing fish at the Suez landing point is limited to tinning of sardines on a very small scale during the sardine season and to salting, particularly of mullet, at times when larger than usual volume is landed.
