Published by Universitas Brawijaya
ECSOFIM is an open-access journal, which became a scientific forum for students, lecturer, and researchers to publish the results of research within the scope of "Economic and Social Fisheries and Marine Sciences". This journal contains research results related to the research fields of economic fisheries resource, trade and business, and social fisheries and marine. In general, this journal also provides access for authors and users as well as other stakeholders. The journal carried an article published scientific in the form of research results. The scope of the study includes the Economic and Social science in the field of fisheries and marine fisheries in the form of marketing, fisheries international trading, fisheries agribusiness, fisheries sociology, the fishing industry, fisheries economics, fisheries resources economics, fisheries resources management, fisheries management plan, fisheries institutional and cooperatives as well as organizational behavior and human resource management.

Abstract

Fish consumption reflects affordability, product-quality cues, and market context, yet purchasing orientations have rarely been assessed alongside demographic and attitudinal correlates of ordered consumption frequency in Indonesian online samples. This study aimed to describe fish preferences and examine adjusted associations with weekly fish-consumption frequency. An exploratory cross-sectional survey recruited 200 adults through voluntary online participation in Indonesia (October 7–22, 2025). Internal consistency was assessed using item–rest correlations and Cronbach’s alpha ( ); purchasing indicators were summarized by parallel analysis and varimax-rotated principal component analysis; associations were estimated using partial proportional-odds regression. Fresh fish (95.0%) and traditional markets (91.5%) predominated. Health and sociocultural item sets had alpha values of 0.819 and 0.713, versus 0.348 for pooled purchasing items. Rural residence (OR = 2.06; 95% CI: 1.09–3.87) and quality-local orientation (OR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.23–2.47) were positively associated with higher consumption-frequency categories; price-promotion sensitivity was inversely associated (OR = 0.63; 95% CI: 0.46–0.85). The associations were directionally stable in sensitivity analyses. These findings suggest that quality-local attributes, affordability orientation, and residential market context warrant joint investigation. The nonprobability sample and cross-sectional design preclude population or causal inference.

Abstract

Indonesia's fisheries sector is economically important, but sectoral growth may not improve fishers' purchasing power. This study examines the relationship between fisheries GDP growth and the Fishers' Terms of Trade (Nilai Tukar Nelayan, NTN) using quarterly data for 2020Q1–2026Q2. Monthly NTN data from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries were averaged by quarter, yielding 26 observations. The analysis uses descriptive statistics, Pearson and Spearman correlations, and OLS regressions with HAC (Newey–West) standard errors. Mean NTN was 104.07, while average year-on-year fisheries GDP growth was 3.44%. GDP growth was positively correlated with NTN (Pearson r = 0.463, p = 0.017; Spearman ρ = 0.493, p = 0.010). The static regression indicated that a one-percentage-point increase in GDP growth was associated with a 0.30-point increase in NTN. However, after controlling for lagged NTN, the growth coefficient fell to 0.051 and was not significant at the 5% level; lagged NTN remained positive and significant. Thus, the static association was not robust to accounting for prior NTN. As NTN measures relative purchasing power rather than multidimensional welfare, these findings do not establish an overall improvement in fishers’ welfare.
