The strategic plan of the National Center of Research and Development of Fisheries and Aquaculture (NCRDFA) serves as a basis for the development of an operational program for the next five years. As such, it represents a dialogue tool between the NCRDFA and its ministerial tutorship (Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries) ; it also aims to strengthen links with the foreign partners. The Government of Algeria, having adopted this strategic plan, will commit resources for it implementation.
The plan is a contribution to define and implement pubic policies related to fisheries ans aquaculture, in the fields of competence covered by the NCRDFA (Research and Development, observation and processing of data, expertise).
The research strategy retains for the next five years a package of five research and observation programs, focused on the analysis of aquatic ecosystems exploited (marine and continental), and presents the conditions of their implementation. These five research and observation programs are as follows:
- Dynamic of the ecosystems exploited by fisheries;
- Marine and continental aquaculture;
- Aquatic living resources and environment;
- Dynamic of operating systems;
- Analysis of management tools.
