Thirty nine immigrant fish species from the Red sea were observed in seven regions of Egyptian Mediterranean waters during 2013- 2021. These were divided according to their importance in the fish markets into economic species (18) and non-economic species (21). Port- Said region (North opening of Suez Canal) constituted high percentage of occurrence (49.1% of all species) followed by Alexandria (41.9%), Abu-Qir (5.2%) and Marsa Matruh (3.7%). Thirteen new species were recorded in the present review whereas fifteen fish species in the checklist given by Halim and Rizkalla (2011) were not encountered in the study area during the study period. Alepes djedaba and Siganus rivulatus were the most important economic species established in Port Said region, whereas Nemipterus randalli and Sargocentrum rubrum were the more dominant in Alexandria region, Also Nemipterus randalli was well established in Abu-Qir area while Upeneus pori was abundant in Marsa Matruh region.

In April 1859, one hundred and fifty laborers gathered on Egypt’s northern shore. When pickaxes first hit the land to be parted from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, not only was the Suez Canal initiated, but the coastal city of Port Said was also born. Two more cities, Ismailia (1862) and Port Tewfik (1867), were later founded along the waterway. This article analyzes the ways in which the environment of the isthmus of Suez changed upon the digging of the canal as well as the ideas that germinated around such changes. By relying on published memoirs, travel accounts, and archival documents, I explore how Western contemporaries viewed the isthmus desert and constructed narratives around the urbanization and the peopling of the area. I argue that they sanctioned the myth that Western initiative alone could transform the isthmus sands into flower gardens, thus disregarding realities on the ground.

Port Said

In May 1896 Lord Cromer, the British Agent and Consul-General in Egypt and that country's de facto ruler, received a “very numerously signed petition” from the coalheavers of Port Said. These workers, most of them migrants from Upper Egypt, were employed through labor contractors by several English and other foreign-owned companies to carry coal onto ships transiting the Suez Canal. The coalheavers complained of ill-treatment by the contractors (shuyuūkh), who “buy and sell us like slaves”, stealing part of their wages and forcing them to buy all they needed at stores owned by the contractors. Cromer acknowledged receipt of the petition in a letter to the coaling companies, commenting that the workers “seem to have some real grievances, notably in connection with the truck system”. Suggesting that the employers seek to avoid a strike, he expressed the opinion that the government “should deal with a strike at Port Said on the same lines as a strike in England, that is to say, that they should preserve order and not interfere to any serious extent between employers and labourers.”
