of Remote Sensing in Lakes Fisheries
Management in Egypt

Lake Nasser Lake Borollus Lake Qarun

Remote sensing aids in
monitoring water levels,
identifying fishing zones, and
regulating Nile perch
populations in Africa's largest
man-made lake.
The use of remote sensing
tools helps monitor water
quality, map submerged
vegetation, and enhance fish
stock assessment in the lake.
Remote sensing data assists in
analyzing water turbidity, algae
blooms, and the impacts on
fish populations in this vital
oasis near the Western Desert.
