Abstract

One of the government's policies in encouraging economic growth from the fishery sector
is to increase fish consumption. Arongan Village, Kuala Pesisir Subdistrict, Nagan Raya
Regency is one of the villages that has quite large fishery potential. The high potential of
fisheries is not always accompanied by a high level of fishery products consumption as
well. In this regard, accurate information is needed regarding the level of fish
consumption. In this study, the level of fish consumption was divided into three
categories, namely low, medium and high consumption levels. This study aimed to
determine the level of fish consumption and analyze the pattern of relationships of factors
that influence the level of marine fish consumption in the Arongan Village, Kuala Pesisir
District, Nagan Raya Regency. The analytical method used was descriptive quantitative
method and multinomial logistic regression. The data used in this study was primary data
obtained through observation and questionnaires by taking samples based on random
sampling. There were 80 respondents. The results showed that there were 36.25% high
fish consumption levels, 51.25% moderate fish consumption levels, and 12.5% low fish
consumption levels. It was also found that the variables of education, occupation, and
income simultaneously did not have a significant effect on the level of fish consumption,
while partially, the variables of education, occupation and income did not have a
significant effect on the level of marine fish consumption.
