Fisheries. Angling Good aquaculture management practices and efficient production activity that take into account socio-economic and environmental aspects are crucial to achieve sustainable aquaculture development and to ensure the continuation of national food security. The objectives of this study are to identify the level of aquaculture production, determine the level of good aquaculture management practices, analyze the technical efficiency of aquaculture production, and estimate the impact of good aquaculture management practices on the level of technical efficiency of aquaculture production. A survey on 121 brackishwater and freshwater pond aquaculture farmers in Kedah and Pulau Pinang, Malaysia was conducted to obtain data and information.
