Análise das boas práticas de manejo na carcinicultura e seus efeitos sobre a produtividade no Estado do Ceará

Abstract

The technical efficiency of the shrimp farming increasingly depends on the quality of inputs used in the production and management practices carried out in the farm. This research aimed to describe the good practices, productive and environmental, adopted by shrimp farms, in the State of Ceará, and assess the relationship among the those practices and shrimp farming productivity in this State. To do the significance tests of the adopted practices, a sample of 60termination shrimp farms was gathered and used to estimate a semi-logarithm regression model. The results showed that the farms sampled had mean level of adopting the good practices and that those directed to improve of the environmental quality in the farm did not affected significantly the mean productivity, which revealed that targeting the productive technical efficiency has been the priority in the farms.
