Abstract
The subject of fish farming in the desert areas is one of the important topics, because it deals with the desert environment known as sandy land and the scarcity of water and its climate is moderate throughout the year. Therefore, the establishment of such projects in the desert environment, would serve to increase animal production of fish that are highly nutritious as a rich source of protein mineral and vitamins, in addition of that to best use of groundwater, which is characterized by its water clean Microbiology for free from contaminants plant and animal, the other hand, fish farming projects working on creating an environmental balance of the natural elements in the desert and the absorption of unemployment through the operation of labor and to achieve stability in the desert environment and increase national income of the country. The research found that each (4) kg of feed produces about (1) kg meat, and the number of larvae that we get from each meal of eggs and placed in the hatchery production of fingerlings ponds up to about (1000000) larva. Relied on the standard rate of return to cost, to calculate the feasibility of establishing such a project in the desert environment, for the five basins, total area of basin (5) acres. The results were that the investment costs one dinar will yield more than two Dinars internally. So, the field of fish breeding from establishment project in desert area is an excellent feasibility by increasing the meat fish production instead of the economical social and environmental returns achieved by this project.
