| Abstract | ||
| Aquaculture, probably the fastest growing food-producing sector, now accounts for almost 54 percent of the local food fish and is perceived as having the greatest potential to meet the growing demand for aquatic food total aquaculture production Jumped from 340 thousand tonnes in 2000 to 471.5 thousand tonnes in 2004 the high rate of return on investment in aquaculture has attracted a large number of small to middle sized investors. The study selected samples of fish farms from Fayoum to evaluate their productive and economic efficiency. The study indicates, at different points, that fish farming industry largely contributes to providing animal protein and to improving food selfsufficiency. In addition, it utilizes resources that are either unused or of low profitability when used for plant production, it usually exists in fallow, uses drainage water, and consequently maximizes the return from water (unit) and generates work opportunities and income for rural community | ||
