Özet

The primary purpose of this research was to examine the household demand for fish in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select 120 respondents for the study. Both inferential and descriptive statistics were used to achieve the objectives of the study. The result from the study revealed that the mean age of the respondents was 44 years and were mostly female (69.2%). Majority of the respondents were married (64.2%), 16.7% were single, 3.3% were divorced, 7.5% widowed while 8.3% were separated. The mean household size was 5 persons.
