The fishing industry in Yemen has considerable potential but is vastly under-exploited. In 1998, the fishing sector employed some 41,000 people, mainly family-owned businesses operating small vessels. In 1998, 127,000 tons of fish were caught in Yemen.[1]
Paul Torday wrote a comedy book, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen about a westerner's commission to introduce salmon to the wadis of the Yemen highlands. The book is being made into a film.
