  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Comparative Analysis of Fresh and Dried Fish Consumption in Rural and Urban Households in Ondo State, Nigeria Author: Mafimisebi, Taiwo Ejiola A sine-qua-non for eradicating protein malnutrition in Nigeria is increased ingestion of high-value proteins found in various fish forms. This study attempted to give empirical backing or refutation to the assertion that dried fish is consumed more than fresh fish in Nigeria. Data used were gathered in 90 rural and urban households selected through multi-stage sampling technique. Analytical tools used included descriptive, Z-test and Chi-square statistics and regression model. Empirical results revealed mean household size of 7 in both households while average annual income was N471,200.04 ($2,908.6) and N326,466.58 ($2015.2) in urban and rural households, respectively. The average quantity of fresh and dried fish consumed per household per year was 13.0kg and 47.0kg in urban, and 11.5kg and 38.0kg in rural households, respectively. There was no significant difference in the consumption of the dried (1.779, p > 0.10,) and fresh (1.904, p > 0.10) fish forms in both households. OLS regression result revealed that household head’s age and numbers of children below 15 years were not significant in influencing consumption (p> 0.10). Contrariwise, household size and fish price significantly negatively influenced quantity of fish consumed while household income exhibited significant positive effect on consumption. The education variable, which was not significant in dried fish consumption, had significant positive influence on fresh fish consumption. However, 50.0% and 27.0% of the respondents rated affordability and accessibility as the main hindrances to consumption. Policy options directed at tackling the high cost of fresh fish to achieve reduced price and increased consumption, were recommended.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Marketing, Distribution and Consumption of Frozen Fish in Anyigba Metropolis of Kogi State, Nigeria Author: Ogbe, Friday Garba, Danjuma, Asabe, Onuche, Unekwu The study was carried out in Anyigba metropolis in central Nigeria to analyse the distribution, marketing and consumption of frozen fish. Twenty (20) retailers and 60 consumers were randomly selected for questionnaire administration. Descriptive statistics, marketing margin analysis, the gross margin approach to profitability analysis and regression analysis were used. Findings revealed that frozen fish trade was largely in the hands of young uneducated women and was profitable. It was also revealed that most consumers preferred Ethmalosa fimbriata (bonga fish) on account of its low price. The Market margin analyses show a good motivation for continuity in the business although there is need for caution in pricing as consumption of frozen food in the area was price elastic in the fashion of normal goods. Regression results revealed that increase in factors like amount spent on meat, price, income and transportation cost reduced the level of fish consumption while increase in years of schooling, family size and age were positively related to fish consumption. Patronage of Fish in the area appears to be high judging from the profitability level of the trade. Some of the problems militating against the trade include poor power supply, high storage cost and poor road network. Recommendations made include among others, improvement in power supply, encouragement of adult education so as to increase effectiveness of the trade and encourage consumption by consumers, and introduction of other species of frozen fish in order to increase consumers’ choices.
