Abstract
This study aimed to: (1) Know the efficiency of economical resources use in tilapia Production from Foh Farms in Egypt, (2) analyze the related factors with efficiency of resources use in tilapia Production from Fish Farms to improve the productivity leve\s, (3) estimate production function of tilapia~ to obtain optimal rates of resources use.
The study cleared that (1) the optimal rate 01 labor was 252.3 day during production period, thls rate decrease 86.2day about actual rate 0 labor. (2) The optimal rate offingerling numbers was 83.1 thousand durinq production period, this rate increase amount 30.9 thousand about actual rat~ of fiugerlmg numbers. (3) The optimal rate of 'orge quantity was increase to 7.8 Ton about actual rate during production period. (4) the optimal rate of fuel and oils was increase amount 1950.5 liter about actual rate during production period; (5) in case using previous optimal rates, the production of tilapia is 9.& ton, this production Increase about actual production to 4.1 ton. (6) 35 tilapia aquariums are reached to efficiency level, those aquariums represent about 57% 01 total tilapia aquariums., and while 31 of tilapia aquariums are considered less efficient. which represent about 43% of total lilapia aquariums.
The results or study are reached to some indictors could be usefu policy makers to development fish production from fish farms in Egypt.
