Abstract

Level of technical efficiency in fish culture reflecting the fish farmer achievement correlated with its managerial competency to managing the principle factors affected per¬formance of productivity its culture fish farming. The research aimed to evaluated level of technical efficiency (productivity) of grouper fish growth out culture, factors affecting and its policy implication. The research was conducted in Lampung Province during September to December 2002. The area sample was selected by purposively in Padang Cermin Sub dis¬trict, South Lampung and the respondent of fish farmer was selected by census method.
