Abstract
The main objective of the research was to determine fish farmers knowledge related to fish farming and their information resources in this regard. Some other objectives were affiliated with the previously mentioned main objective. Those objectives were; 1- to identify fish farmers' knowledge acquired from their information sources related to fish farming. 2- to determine relationship between the personal characteristics of the farmers and their knowledge concerning fish farming. 3- to determine importance of fish farming processes. 4- to determine importance of information sources from which fish farmers acquired their knowledge in relation with fish farming. 5- to determine different problems that hinder the farmers for benefiting from information sources and their suggested solutions to those problems. A pretsted questionnaire and interpersonal interview were used for collecting the study data. A simple random sample encompassed 89 fish farmers Of Sidi – Salem and El- Riad districts, Kafrel – Shikh Governorate was used. Alpha coefficient, percentage, simple correlation coefficient, multiple regression were used for analyzing the obtained study data.
