Abstract

Fish caught from natural sources or from fish farming activities constitute a major source of animal protein, and Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate is one of the largest governorates in the Egypt in producing fish from fish farms, especially tilapia and the mullet family, where the number of farms reached about 5293 farms. The research problem is summarized in the presence of a fish gap estimated at about 501 thousand ton in 2018, and the research reached several results, including: The number of fish farms in the Riyadh destrict in the Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate reached about 2583 farms, representing about 48.8% of the total number of farms. The average share of an acre of fish production inside the sample farms is about 2.68 ton, of which tilapia fish contribute about 42.7%. The average share of an Faddan of fish production value amounted to about LE. 62.8 thousand, at the level of the total sample farms during the 2020 production season. The general average price of a ton of fish within the various tenure categories was about LE. 23.4 thousand, and the average price of mullet fish was about LE. 35.5 LE. per kilogram, compared to about LE. 19.4 for tilapia, during the 2020 production season. The study recommends working on increasing the size of fish farms and not being extravagant in the use of the two production elements, g.e. quantity of feed and the number of fry.
