The Logit model has beenused to analyze the socio-economic factors affecting fish consumption ofhouseholds. The prices of meat, chicken and fish, and income have been used asthe variables affecting the probability of fish consumption. According to theresults from logit regression analysis, red meat price, chicken meat price andincome are significant and positively correlated with fish consumption. Anincrease in red meat price resulted in a 1.82 % increase in the likelihood topurchase fish. As in the price of meat, the estimated 0.02 change inprobability for income indicated that a unit rise in chicken meat price causeda 2.25 % increase in the likelihood to purchase fish. In the light of thefindings, it can be recommended that fish marketers and processors shouldconsider income, the prices of red meat, chicken meat and fish amongsocioeconomic factors in their formulation of marketing strategies aimed atpromoting fish consumption in Turkey. Furthermore, stocking and marketingconditions should be rearranged, and household and marketing standards shouldbe formed.
