beneficiaries of Dr. Ehud
Spanier's research into the
subject of reefs may include
those who enjoy sitting
down to a good fish dinner.
Preliminary results at an
artificial reef site off the
coast of Israel indicate a
large increase in the
availability of commer-
cially fishable lokus
(grouper) — a much prized
and expensive fish. If, ac-
cording to Dr. Spanier, the
artificial reef project is ex-
panded, increased catches of
lokus could bring down its
present price.
The artificial reef has
been designed to remedy the
southeastern Mediterra-
nean's — and specifically
Israel's — lack of natural
reefs, bays, offshore islands
and peninsulas. It is this
lack of protective structures
that make th6 southeastern
area the Mediterranean's
poorest region in terms of
fishing potential.
Spanier's answer to the
problem — working in

chers at the Israel Minis-
try of Agriculture — was
to create an artificial reef
from old automobile
tires, concrete blocks,
fiberglass poles and plas-
tic rope.

The results from this reef,
according to Spanier, have
been extremely promising.
After nine months of obser-
vation of the fish popula-
tion, there was a measured
15-fold increase in fish.
According to Spanier,
plans for the future include
the building of more artifi-
cial reefs and the expanding
of research.
"We have to build a solid
structure that is capable of
withstanding strong waves
. . one that will be of op-
timal size from the
standpoint of ecology and
economics. We also have to
develop proper methods of
fishing these areas and
must discover what will
happen to the reef popula-
tion under commercial fish-
ing conditions." ,
