| Abstract | ||||
| This research aims to investigate the theoretical framework of economic evaluation agricultural projects with emphasis on aquaculture projects. The study showed the importance of agricultural project, and agricultural project cycle which can be divided to four stages: pre-investment, investment, operation stage, and evaluation stage. Assessment of the economic viability of aquaculture project requires an interdisciplinary understanding of physical, social and economic relationship. Quantitative or qualitative estimates of many relevant variables are not readily available because aquaculture is in early stages of development in most areas of the world. The study comprised the outline aquaculture production-marketing consideration which includes marketing, technical-environmentalbioeconomic, institutional, and social respects. The study showed that the, fish gap increased with annual rate of growth with 1.5% during the period net ween (1995 and 2005). The most important fish production resources in Egypt is the seas, lacks and fish farms with 124 thousand ton, 188 thousand ton and 132 thousand ton or about 23.14%, 35.18% and 24.65%, respectively from the annual average total of Egyptian fish production during the period (95-2000), and it increased to about 138 thousand ton, 196 thousand ton and about 328 thousand ton or about 16.5%, 23.34%, and about 39.3% respectively from the annual average total of Egyptian fish production during the period (2001- 2005). | ||||
