The value of Morocco's coastal catches reached 3.2 billion Dirhams (US$ 304 million) by the end of November 2002, which is a 43% rise in comparison with 2001, the directorate of general economic policy said in its latest newsletter.

Unlike the catches value, the volume of coast catches decreased by 11.8%, the source added.

The value of shell fish, mollusks and shell sales abroad increased by 8.6% after a 17.9% decrease in 2001, while sales of canned fish gained 6.8% in value, and decreased by 4.4% in volume.

The direction of general economic policy said the evolution is due to more important orders from the European Union, and the increase in the Euro value.
