The study investigates demographic and attitudinal characteristics that can affect the purchase
decisions of marine fish among Malaysian consumers. A survey was conducted on Kuala Lumpur households
using structured questionnaires. Seven hundred respondents were randomly interviewed with regard to their
buying behaviour pattern, attitude and perception on fresh marine fish consumption. The data were analyzed
using a logit binary model. It was found that the size and income of the households, gender, taste and the
nutritional value of fresh fish significantly influenced the purchasing behavior of the respondents. The
Malaysian seafood sector may find this study useful to encourage further consumer-based studies for promoting
the growth of the domestic fresh marine fish and seafood market in general.
Key words: Fresh fish, purchasing behavior, logit, demographic, Malaysian consumer, fish consumption,
