| Abstract | ||
| The current study assessed the quantities of fish offered in the center and districts of Basrah Governorate from 2016 to 2018. During these years, the total fish supply in the governorate amounted to 137,121 tons. The highest quantity of fish offered was obtained in the Center of Basrah and amounted to 42046 tons; the lowest was 5,053 tons in the Al-Dair district, representing 30.7 and 3.7%, respectively. The findings indicated that residents of Basrah's Center and the districts of the Shatt al-Arab, Al-Faw, and Abu Al-Khaseeb primarily prefer marine fish, while those in the northern districts of Basrah, including Al-Hartha, Al-Dair, Al-Qurna, Al-Midaina, and Al-Zubair, show a preference for freshwater fish, based on the quantities of fish offered. | ||
