Boukedjouta revealed that “the National Center for Research and Development in the Field of Fisheries and Aquaculture conducts campaigns to evaluate the fish wealth along the Algerian coast”, stating that “this is a routine evaluation, as the center has a research vessel with several state-of-the-art equipment and programs two campaigns per year to evaluate surface and so-called benthic (bottom) fish. Stressing that “this assessment is discretionary to guide and issue instructions and guidelines to maintain the continuity of the maritime fishing sector and activity”.
