Abstract

Addressing the lack of information on the demand for specific aquaculture species, this article presents the results of a cross-sectional analysis of consumer demand for commercial pond-raised catfish in Louisiana. Results indicate that size of household and Catholic religious preference positively influenced the consumption of pond-raised catfish. However, children present in the household negatively influences the household's expenditures for pond-raised catfish fillets. The number of years that a household has resided in Louisiana is positively associated with expenditures on catfish. Empirical analysis also indicates that catfish fillets are perceived to be an inferior good in Louisiana, which agrees with previous research results.
