Algeria
Fishing
Despite Algeria's 1,000 kilometers of Mediterranean coast, the
fishing industry remained underdeveloped. The government, aware
of the industry's potential, established joint enterprises with
Mauritania and Senegal by the 1980s to exploit the rich fishing
waters of the Atlantic. In 1991 the government was also modernizing
and expanding fishing ports on the Mediterranean Sea, hoping to
increase the 1988 catch of 106,000 tons to an annual rate of 115,000
tons. In 1989 the catch had fallen to 99,000 tons.
