Abstract

The study aims to identify the current situation of fisheries in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The study dealt with the organizational culture and its impact on economic feasibility, the most important factors affecting economic feasibility, and in order to achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive approach was used. This is to ensure the validity of the study hypotheses.
The study found the following results: There is statistical indication that there is a difference in the opinions of the respondents about the influence of the organizational culture (the focus of researchers and research in fisheries management) on the economics of fisheries, as the first hypothesis is confirmed. There is statistical indication that there is a difference in the opinions of the respondents about the effect of organizational culture (an axis related to employees in fisheries management) on the economics of fisheries, as the second hypothesis is confirmed. There is statistical indication that there is a discrepancy in the opinions of the respondents about the most important factors affecting the economic viability of fisheries, as the third hypothesis is confirmed.
 
Among the most important recommendations made by researchers are the following: Attention must be paid to the organizational culture of fisheries management and focus on the human element (employees, researchers and workers) in order to streamline and flow production processes and raise the organizational efficiency of fisheries management. Research authorities must be consulted as they help solve economic problems and have a positive impact on the economic viability of fisheries and research bodies such as the Institute of Marine Sciences, colleges of fish wealth and others. It is imperative to distinguish those who obtained degrees, both materially and morally, which encourages researchers to make more efforts to develop the fisheries sector in the Arab Republic of Egypt. Paying attention to the organizational culture elements that positively affect the economic viability of fisheries, such as cooperation between leaders and researchers, cooperation between various disciplines, the assistance of Egyptian researchers and specialists, support of specialists for fisheries guidance, and employee support through specialists in the field of fisheries. There is no doubt that the study and analysis of economic feasibility related to fisheries can be used to develop the features of strategies that benefit policy makers and aim to rationalize fisheries management systems by focusing on the main and pivotal role of the economy, as dispensing with it when planning is considered an economic suicide for fisheries management (Food and Agriculture Organization) 2016.
