| Abstract | ||||
| The fish sector is one of the important sectors of animal production, which is relied upon to bridge the nutritional gap of animal protein in Egypt. The fish sector includes all natural fisheries, which represent about 20.18%, and fish farming, which represents about 79.82% of the total fish production in Egypt. Management is the most important factor of production in any production unit because it is the element that combines the other elements according to specific systems and monitors the production process in the agricultural production unit. The problem of the research represented in the low productivity as a result of the weakness of the management based on it and its lack of appropriate scientific means and methods that enable it to achieve the highest efficiency in the use of farm resources. The research in estimating the efficiency of farm management relied on analyzing the data envelope. The results showed that only 17 farms out of the total sample of 104 farms achieved technical efficiency, the third category ranked first with 6 technically efficient farms, that the capacity efficiency of the sample farms varied between 0.471-1, and the average was estimated at about 0.96, i.e. These farms can increase their production by 4% with the same amount of resources used. The results also showed that only 9 farms out of the total sample achieved economic efficiency, and the fourth category ranked first with 4 economically efficient farms, and that the economic efficiency of the sample farms came at an average level of 0.878, and this means that these farms can reduce costs by 12.2% and achieve the same level from production. | ||||
