“…It provides different types of nutrients, including protein, micronutrients, and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Li and Hu, 2009). Aquaculture is the cheapest way to produce food rich in protein (Soliman and Yacout, 2016). Fish considered as the main source of protein from animals.…”

Aquaculture expanded around 8.6% per year during the period 1980-2012. It is the greatest growing food producing sector. The intensification of fish production from aquaculture has made its demand for fishmeal from small pelagic fishes as an increasingly important issue. Recognizing the vulnerability of small pelagic fishes to challenges of climate changes is serious. It will have consequent challenges in terms of ensuring economically, socially and environmentally responsible fishmeal production practices. The possibility of replacing fishmeal with nutritionally comparable feedstuffs would diminish stress on prices of feed inputs resulting from captured fisheries. Diverse types of alternative (plant, animal, fishery by-products and novel foods) protein sources have been experienced in a variety of aquaculture feeds. This review aims to appraise the different kinds of fishmeal alternatives and the most proper substituent in fish diets. The paper in hand proposed that some of the described fishmeal alternatives could leads to a considerable drop in small pelagic fishes utilization, but still they might be more cost-effective than fishmeal. Studies should take into account both economic and biological assessment of dietary protein sources as fishmeal substituents. On the other hand, the environmental impacts of such alternatives should be evaluated in order to guarantee sustainability of fish feed industry.

“…La diversification porte sur la carpe (6,6 %), le poisson-chat africain, la daurade, le bar, le maigre, la sole, la crevette d'eau douce et de mer. Les élevages sont pratiqués en étang terrestre (72 %), en cage flottante près des embouchures des bras du Nil et en Mer Rouge (24 %), en rizière (3,5 %) et dans des réservoirs de type raceway ou bassin à fond de toile plastique, en système intensif (0,5 %) (GAFRD, 2013 ;Soliman et al, 2016). La production atteint 1 098 000 t en 2013, pour une valeur de 1,35 milliard de dollars (GAFRD, 2014) et elle a été multipliée par 2,3 entre 2003 et 2012.…”

“…À partir de 2007, les cages du Nil ont été déplacées vers l'aval des bras du Nil, sous les derniers barrages retenant l'eau douce, et donc exposés à des variations de salinité, sans apparemment de conséquences négatives sur la croissance et la survie des poissons. La production en cages atteint 250 000 t de tilapia et de mulet en 2012 (Sadek, 2013 ;Soliman et al, 2016). Le gouvernement facilite le développement de l'aquaculture d'eau saumâtre dans les terres basses du Delta.…”

Résumé -Cet article présente l'évolution de la situation de l'aquaculture en Afrique du Nord au cours des 20 dernières années, ainsi que les potentialités et contraintes spécifiques à chaque pays. Ce travail est un des produits du projet européen Aquamed (2011Aquamed ( -2013. L'analyse des évolutions du secteur, y compris les capacités de recherche et développement, permet d'identifier les forces et les faiblesses de l'aquaculture dans les quatre pays concernés (Maroc, Algérie, Tunisie, Égypte). Cette analyse rétrospective permet aussi d'identifier des solutions pour un développement durable du secteur et la sélection de priorités d'action pour les 20 années à venir. Ce double regard, sur le passé et sur l'avenir, devrait aider les décideurs et les experts à identifier les meilleures politiques de recherche et développement dans un secteur qui a un potentiel considérable dans la région. This paper presents the evolution of aquaculture in North Africa during the 20 last years, and the assets and bottlenecks for each country. This work uses the results of the European project Aquamed (2011Aquamed ( -2013. The analysis of the evolutions of this sector, including research and development allows to establish a diagnosis on the strengths and the weaknesses in the four countries (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt). The retrospective analysis helps in identifying solutions for a more sustainable development. It also contributes to select priorities for action in a long-term vision (2035). This double overview, on the past and the future, should help decision-makers and experts to identify the best politics for a sector, which has a high potential in the region.

“…Tilapia, especially Oreochromis niloticus, comprises more than 75% of Egyptian aquaculture production, the production in 2012 estimated about 768,752 ton. Furthermore, after China, Egypt ranks the 2 nd in the production of Oreochromis niloticus, which represent the main farmed fish in Egypt (Soliman & Yacout, 2016). There are many aquaculture farms constructed in Egypt, but because of the non-sufficient studies about the environmental conditions of aquaculture ecosystem, many projects achieved negative results and had low economical returns.…”

“…Egypt is a country which has limited water resources and that reflects the quality and quantity of available water for aquaculture. (Soliman & Yacout, 2016). Alexandria, the main coastal city of Egypt, is limited in aquaculture activity because of many considerations, although this coastal city contains all different water resources of marine, freshwater, brackish water, Maryout Lake and underground water.…”

Aquaculture ecosystem assessment is a major key for successful aquaculture Planning. There are many aquaculture farms constructed in Egypt, but because of the non-sufficient studies about the environmental conditions of aquaculture ecosystem assessment, many projects achieved negative results and had low economical returns. The present study was conducted to evaluate the aquaculture ecosystem assessment of irrigation water of El-Mahmoudia Canal, Alexandria, Egypt. The result indicated that temperature (24.65±0.4°C), DO (5.38±0.20mg/l), COD (14.40±4.5mg/l) and BOD (2.86±0.20 mg/l) were in the optimum range for O. niloticus. Chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids were 10.449±0.953, 4.685±0.704 and 2.374±0.054 μg/g, respectively. The biochemical composition of plankton showed that protein, lipid and carbohydrate were 37.7±3.39 %, 16.33±0.85%, and 11.23±2.63%, respectively. Moreover, SFA, MUFA and PUFA were 70.29±4.07%, 11.172±0.132 %, and 18.55±0.525 % of total fatty acids, respectively. Zooplankton community showed that rotifers and copepods configured the main bulk of zooplankton community (95.9% to the total zooplankton community). These conditions are considered the ideal recommended conditions for cultivation of Oreochromis niloticus that started with 100,000 fingerlings (distributed as 4.76 fish/m 3 of earth pond) for six months with 82% survival rate with final yield of 21.3 ton/1.6 hectare.
