Abstract

Irak’ta 1980’lerde meydana gelen İran-Irak savaşı ve Kuveyt operasyonları nedeniyle su ürünleri sektörü ve özellikle balık yetiştiriciliği olumsuz yönde etkilenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Irak’ın kuzey bölgesinde yer alan Erbil ilçesinde balık üretimi ve üretimde etkili olan faktörleri analiz etmektir. Ayrıca, araştırmada işletmelerin balık üretim maliyetleri ve balık üretim fonksiyonu tahmin edilecektir. Araştırmada 60 işletmeden elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler, varyans analizi ve çoklu regresyon kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, işletmelerde fayda-masraf oranı 1,8 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu da bölgede balık yetiştiriciliğinin karlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, balık üretiminde etkili faktörler; üretici yaşı, eğitim durumu, deneyim, üretim alanı, gölet sayısı, toplam balık sayısı, proje zamanı, balık üretim zamanı, balık ağırlığı, balık ölüm oranı ve balık satış fiyatlarıdır. Tahmin edilen üretim fonksiyonu sonuçlarına göre, tüm girdiler %1 artırılırsa, balık üretim miktarı sadece % 0.92 artmaktadır.

Abstract

In the ’80s, Kuwait operations and the conflict between Iran and Iraq negatively affected the aquaculture and especially fish farming. This study was carried out to analyze fish productions and advancements in its development in the Northern Region of Iraq. Also, this study was aiming at obtaining the estimates of the production function for fish production and total income. The study involved 60 farms. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, variance analysis and multiple regression. According to results, the benefit-cost ratio was 1.8, and it indicates that fish farming in the region was profitable. Results demonstrated that farmers’ age, educational status and fish farming experience, size and number of ponds, total fingerlings stocked, age of ponds, time of fish production, the weight of the sold-fish, fish mortality rate, and price of fish sale have statistically significant effects on fish production. According to the estimated production function, if all inputs are increased by 1%, then output increases by only 0.92%.
