Abstract | ||||
Fishing from natural sources or from fish farming activities constitute a major source of animal protein. Fish production in Egypt increased from about 802 thousand ton in 2002 to about 1936 thousand ton in 2018, with an increase of about 141.4%. The research problem is the existence of a fish gap. The search found that:The average fish production amounted to about 1266.9 thousand ton, increasing annually by a statistically significant amount of about 69.1 thousand ton, representing about 5.5% of the general average during that period.The year average of fish production from fish farms amounted to about 893.2 thousand ton, increasing annually by a statistically significant amount of about 72.5 thousand ton, representing about 8.1% of the general average during that period.The total number of fishing boats amounted to about 33.2 thousand boat, decreasing annually by a statistically significant amount of about 763 boat, representing about 2.3% of the general average during that period.The number of licensed fishermen reached about 38.4 thousand, decreasing annually by a statistically significant amount of about 9. Fishermen, representing about 2.5% of the general average during that period. The general average value of fuels and oils is about 46.9 million pound, increasing annually by a statistically significant amount of about 5.6 million pound, representing about 11.9% of the general annual average during thestudy period. | ||||
