Achieving Egyptian food security requires relying on sustainable local sources.

Hence, the importance of fish farming is increasing as one of the main pillars in providing protein at an adequate price, as the fish sector is one of the important productive sectors of the agricultural sector, as fish is an important cheap food source that contributes to achieving the deficit ratio in Animal protein after the aggravation of the problem of obtaining it from other sources.

Fish is also related to many industries, such as the manufacture of feeds and their components, as it is a source of employment, whether in the field of production, marketing or manufacturing.

The problem of the study is represented in the decline in the self-sufficiency rate of fish in the Arab Republic of Egypt from 94.3% in 2008 to 79.5% in 2018 despite the availability of fish farming components in Egypt in general and the Sharkia governorate in particular.

The study relied on the descriptive and quantitative methods in analyzing the data and presenting the findings of the study.

The study also relied on two main data sources, the first of which is secondary published data and primary data for a field study.

The study sample was chosen using a random sampling method for about 20 fish farming farms on the waters of Al Salam Canal.

There are 15 fish farming farms using agricultural drainage water, with a total of 35 fish farming farms in Al Hussainiah Center, Sharkia Governorate The results - Fish production in the Arab Republic of Egypt during the period (2006-2018) reached a minimum of 970 thousand tons in 2006, while it reached 1930 thousand tons in 2018 with an average of 1390.7 thousand tons, with an annual rate of change of %0.05.

- The self-sufficiency rate of fish in the Arab Republic of Egypt during the period (2006-2018) reached the lowest 79% in 2018, while the highest was 94% in 2008, with an average of 89.8% and an annual rate of change of - The total revenue per acre above in fish farming farms with Al Salam Canal water was 105.650 thousand pounds / feddan, while the lowest per feddan for fish farming with agricultural wastewater was 74.910 thousand pounds / feddan.

This means that the total revenue per feddan in fish farming with Al Salam Canal water exceeds that of fish farming with water.

Agricultural drainage at about 30.740 thousand pounds / feddan, representing 29.1%.

- The above total net revenue of fish farms with Al Salam Canal water reached 20.486 thousand pounds / feddan, while the lowest total revenue of fish farming farms with agricultural wastewater was 11.853 thousand pounds / feddan, which means that the total net income per feddan in fish farming with Al-Salam Canal water exceeds that of aquaculture.

The fish population with agricultural wastewater is about 8.632 thousand pounds / feddan, representing 42%.

- The profit of the pound spent above on fish farms with Al Salam Canal water was 0.20 EGP, while the lowest profit for fish farming farms with agricultural wastewater was 0.19.

This means that the profit of the pound spent on fish farming with Al Salam Canal water exceeds that of fish farming with agricultural wastewater by 5% , 0.01 EGP, representing - The economic evaluation criteria in the current situation of fish farming on agricultural drainage water decreased by 0.06, 0.5% and 1679.3 thousand pounds, compared to that of aquaculture on the water of Al-Salam Canal, respectively, while the speed of capital turnover index increased by about years1.2 The study recommends: 1- Providing governmental services for fish farming workers, including the provision of seed of guaranteed source and with distinct production characteristics, and medical supervision to treat diseases in these farms.

2- The state intervenes in the marketing process so that they are not prey to wholesalers, and to include farmers, especially tenants, in the new land distribution priorities.

3- Providing feeds at reasonable prices with high protein and conversion rates to reduce production costs and reduce the breeding period.

4- Providing training and qualification for workers in this vital sector, providing them with the latest modern education methods.

5- Working to provide the necessary financing for farmers from banks at low interest rates and easy terms so that they do not fall under the greed of greedy traders.

6- Providing suitable water resources free of pollutants to raise the efficiency of the culture process.
