Popis: Nigeria is the highest fish consumer and offers the largest market for fish and fisheries products in Africa, fish as food is the main source of animal protein to this teemed population. Although domestic fish production is on increase despite this, the country still experiences short fall due to rapid growing human population. This study therefore estimates the technical efficiency and factors responsible for inefficiency of catfish production in freshwater culture systems using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The result shows that estimated inefficiency coefficients for age and household size (p
