| Abstract | ||
| The research aims in general to identify the most important private and governmental fish hatcheries and the possibilities of developing these hatcheries, especially AL-Abbassa hatchery, in light of the current trend of the state in establishing projects for the development of fish farming. The results concluded that the total production of hatcheries averaged about 403.7 million unit, with an annual growth rate of about 5%, during the period (2010-2020). in view of the importance of AL-Abbassa hatchery, it was found that it represents about 57.3% of the total number of hatcheries in AL-Sharkia Governorate, and about 12.7% of the total number of hatcheries in the Republic. By examining the number of the workforce, it was found that the productivity of the worker decreased from 3294 thousand fry in 2017 to 1941 thousand fry unit only in 2020, i.e. at an annual rate of decrease estimated at about (-0.132), By examining the measures of economic efficiency, it was found that the rate of return to costs amounted to about 1.16 L.E, and the return of the invested pound amounted to about 16.15%, and the profit margin of the product reached about 13.90%. As for relative profitability, it amounted to about 94.06%, and as for economic efficiency, it reached about 0.35. The research recommends that this hatchery should be taken care of and utilizes all the potentials in it, as well as increase investments in single-sex tilapia. | ||
