| Abstract | ||
| The research mainly aims at studying the economic analysis of fish fry production in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The study reached the following results: 86.4% of fish hatcheries are concentrated in the governorates of Kafr El-Sheikh, Fayoum, Aswan and Sharkia. The number of hatcheries in each of them is about 94 hatcheries, 7 hatcheries, 4 hatcheries, 3 hatcheries for each of them, respectively. By studying the most important production factors that have a significant impact on production in fish hatcheries in earthen ponds are the number of ponds in the hatchery (X1), the amount of alcohol (x4), the amount of vitamins (x5), the amount of disinfectants (x6), and the fry and feed for fry and mothers (x8), where the total elasticity reached 0.87, indicating a decrease in the return on capacity for these elements. The most influential factors in the production of the net enclosure are the number of ponds in the hatchery (x1), the number of hormones (x3), the amount of alcohol (x4), the number of vitamins (x5), feed for fry and mothers (x8), where the total elasticity reached 0.92, indicating a decrease in the return on capacity. As for the production of fish fry from concrete ponds, it was found that the most influential factors in production are the number of ponds in the hatchery (x1), the number of workers in the hatchery (x2), the number of vitamins (x5), and feed for fry and mothers (x8) Where the production elasticity reached 1, which indicates the return stability. | ||
