Book excerpt: To enhance the understanding of fish and shellfish buying patterns in the United States, this study investigated the nature and magnitude of the influence of price, household income, and socioeconomic and demographic variates on aggregate seafood expenditure. The source of data was the 1972-1974 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Diary Survey. The empirical analysis of aggregate fish and shellfish expenditure was based on information from 9,066 households. The list of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics hypothesized to affect fish and shellfish expenditure included: (1) geographic region, (2) population density (urbanization), (3) household size, (4) race of household head, (5) marital status of household head, (6) education of household head, (7) occupation of household head, (8) tenure class (homeownership) of household head, (9) seasonality, and (10) employment status of the female household head. Geographic region, population density, race, marital status, the price of fish and shellfish, household size, and household income were statistically significant factors of household expenditure on fish and shellfish. However, education, occupation, and tenure class of the household head as well as seasonality and employment status of the female household head were not statistically significant factors of household expenditure on fish and shellfish. Given information on price, household income, household size, and socioeconomic and demographic variates, profiles were constructed to examine household expenditure behavior.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weekly household expenditures on fish and shellfish products in the United States were analyzed through estimation of an Engel curve relationship. Expenditures on five product groups (canned fish, shellfish, whole fish, filleted and steaked fish, and total expenditures) were expressed as a function of thirteen variables reflecting household socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Variables included were income, race, expenditures on food away-from-home, education, occupation, urbanization and an adult equivalent scale. Data employed were collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics during the 1972-1974 Consumer Expenditure Diary Survey. The 23,186 households studied were segregated into four regions and three income groups. A separate equation for each expenditure category was estimated for each region and each income group. Expenditures were considered limited dependent variables and Tobit analysis used. The solution algorithm chosen was Phelps' version of LIMDEP. Income, race, and the adult equivalent scale were consistently significant in explaining expenditures on all product groups. Income had a significant positive impact on all expenditure categories except whole fish. The Northeast tended to have the largest income coefficients, expenditure income elasticities of demand, and average weekly expenditures. Smallest elasticities occurred in the South while the North Central states had the smallest average expenditures. Among product groups the largest elasticities were associated with shellfish and the smallest with filleted and steaked products. Race was an important determinant of expenditures with Black households often predicted to spend $2.00 per week more on fresh fish products than Whites. Whites tended to have larger expenditures on canned fish. Of the adult equivalent scale variables adult males and females, and elderly males had a larger impact on expenditures than infants or elderly females. Occupation had no consistent impact on purchases while urbanization had an impact only in the Northeast and West. Education was significant for canned fish expenditures in all regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Americans continue to add more seafood to their diets without fear of illness or even death? Seafood-caused health problems are not widespread, but consumers are at risk from seafood-borne microbes and toxinsâ€"with consequences that can range from mild enteritis to fatal illness. At a time when legislators and consumer groups are seeking a sound regulatory approach, Seafood Safety presents a comprehensive set of practical recommendations for ensuring the safety of the seafood supply. This volume presents the first-ever overview of the field, covering seafood consumption patterns, where and how seafood contamination occurs, and the effectiveness of regulation. A wealth of technical information is presented on the sources of contaminationâ€"microbes, natural toxins, and chemical pollutantsâ€"and their effects on human health. The volume evaluates methods used for risk assessment and inspection sampling.
