scientific and documentary films that describe the marine
environment Lectures explaining the activities of the
center laboratories, research units, marine organisms
museum, preserved specimens museum, breeding and fattening
basins in which experiments on sea and fresh water fishes
are carried out, and also some life feed experiments on

lessons to various sectors of the society and encouraging
them to practice marine activities, in addition to
participating with a booth in many specialized expositions
through which the center shall be acknowledged and

aquaculture, and cooperate with the universities in the
scientific supervision on these projects. The center had
subjugated all its human and scientific resources and
available installations to be at the disposal of the post
