The present study was undertaken to investigate some biological aspects of the green tiger shrimp Penaeus semisulcatus in order to provide the biological information required for its proper management of the fishery in Jizan area, Red Sea. Growth parameters were calculated as (L∞ = 94.40; K = 0.81; to = -0.2); maximum age tmax = 3.7037 years; growth performance indices (ØL = 3.86; Øwt = 1.36). Carapace length at which P. semisulcatus females attained 50% of maturity was 38 mm. The annual mortality coefficients were (Z = 3.124 year-1; M = 1.163 year-1 & F = 1.961 year-1). Carapace length and age at first capture were 35.73 mm and 0.387 year, while carapace length and age at recruitment were 28.52 mm and 0.24 year, respectively. The length at first sexual maturity was found to be 38 mm, while the carapace length at first capture L50 was estimated as 35.73 mm .This indicates that there is a poor opportunity for the recruits of P. semisulcatus in Jizan area to spawn before fishing which is considered an important factor that would lead to overexploitation the stock. The estimated exploitation ratio (0.628) was higher than Emax (0.581) which indicates that, the fisheries status of this species under study is in overexploited.

This paper concerns a probable shipwreck cargo of Aqaba amphorae, which was discovered during the second season of the survey project along the Saudi Arabian coast, initiated by nautical archaeologists of Philipps-University Marburg and conducted in cooperation with members of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Heritage in autumn 2013. Seafaring and sea trade was, according to the few ancient sources and modern research activities, a hazardous endeavor in antiquity. Transport containers like the Aqaba Amphorae played a major role in sea trade, a significant number of which have been detected on various sites along the Red Sea coast and its hinterland. The chronological classification as well as the application is far from complete, and recent archaeometrical investigations help to clarify the logistical aspects of manufacturing and distribution of Aqaba amphorae. Finding a number of remains of Aqaba amphorae at a supposed shipwreck site close to Jeddah delivers new insight into the maritime routes and activities along the western coast of Saudi Arabia. The documentary material currently available is the baseline for further research in the field of maritime archaeology as it pertains to trade in the Red Sea.

Al-Qusayr is located 40 km south of modern al-Wajh, roughly 7 km from the eastern Red Sea shore. This site is known since the mid-19th century, when the explorer R. Burton described it for the first time, in particular the remains of a monumental building so-called al-Qasr. In March 2016, a new survey of the site was undertaken by the al-‘Ula–al-Wajh Survey Project. This survey focused not only on al-Qasr but also on the surrounding site corresponding to the ancient settlement. A surface collection of pottery sherds revealed a striking combination of Mediterranean and Egyptian imports on one hand, and of Nabataean productions on the other hand. This material is particularly homogeneous on the chronological point of view, suggesting a rather limited occupation period for the site. Attesting contacts between Mediterranean merchants, Roman Egypt and the Nabataean kingdom, these new data allow a complete reassessment of the importance of this locality in the Red Sea trade routes during antiquity.
