<![CDATA[In 2023, household animal food consumption in Lampung Province, both in rural and urban areas, was not ideal, as indicated by the Animal-Based Food Consumption Pattern score of 21.52, still below the standard of 24.00. One source of animal food is freshwater fish such as catfish, tilapia, and patin. This study aimed to analyze freshwater fish consumption by households and its determinants. The research method used a quantitative descriptive approach with secondary data analysis from the 2023 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas). Household samples that consumed three freshwater fish were taken by census, resulting in 101 households. Fish consumption was analyzed using tabulation analysis, while the factors influencing it were analyzed using a Seemingly Unrelated Regression model. This study found that the consumption of the three freshwater fish was relatively similar. Catfish and patin consumption was 0.91 kg/capita/month, while tilapia consumption was 0.92 kg/capita/month. Income has been shown to have a positive effect on the consumption of all three types of fish. Consumption of all three types of fish is higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Other factors influencing catfish consumption include the price of cooking oil, the age of household head, and the age of housewife. Other factors influencing tilapia consumption include the number of family members, the age of household head, and the age of housewife. Another factor influencing patin consumption is the number of family members.]]>
