Abstract
To identify the behavior of fish consumer in Iran's largest fish market in order to improve sales and obtain customer satisfaction. After designing and completing the questionnaire, descriptive statistics and Friedman test, chi-square and stepwise regression were used for data analysis. Consumers were very much in agreement with the direct sale of Fish by producer in the market, government subsidies to buy fish, and the aquatic properties on the market. Their highest priority is to buy trout and then southern fish, shrimp, Caspian Sea fish and warm-water fish. More than half of consumers were introduced to the market for the first time through advertising and introducing their friends and acquaintances, and 46% were familiar with the market because of their home proximity. The most important marketing mix was advertising, and the most important reason for buying fish from this market was the freshness and diversity of the fish. Research shows that men buy more fish than women cross-country people, women born in coastal areas and high-income buyers. Given the tendency of consumer to be familiar with the market and the importance of advertising, paying attention to this and targeting male buyers will be very effective in market prosperity. Considering the numerous research results, including inserting aquatic properties and installing electronic signage on and off the aquarium in the market and helping improve household income is another way to improve customer satisfaction.

Abstract
The present study was conducted in order to investigate the behavior of shrimp buyers and evaluate their preferences with a statistical population of 600 people in Tehran's Besat market. In this research, shrimp buyers were asked three categories of questions. The questions of the first category were related to demographic characteristics and the questions of the second category were related to the amount and reasons for purchasing shrimp, as well as evaluating the preferences of buyers in indicators such as size, types of supply models, and species of shrimp (Friedman test). The third group of questions were prepared based on the Likert five-option scale and in order to investigate the factors affecting the attitude of the statistical community to the purchase of shrimp by using conceptual model design and structural equation modeling method (Lisrel software). The results of this research showed that buyers who purchase 3 or 4 times a year and selected each time 1 to 1.5 kg of shrimp, had the highest frequency (54.33 and 56.34%, respectively). 64.56 percent of the buyers cited the nutritional value and good taste (together) as the main reason for buying and consuming shrimp. In the study of buyer’s preferences, it was found that large size shrimp (26 to 35 pieces per kilogram), bulk shrimp (compared to packaged and combined shrimp), marine shrimps (compared to cultured and combined shrimp) and the size of 500 to 750 grams of shrimp package have more fans. The results of the implementation of the research conceptual model showed that all hypotheses were confirmed; in such a way that variables of size, types of supply and shrimp species were significantly effective on buyer’s attitudes with effect coefficients of 0.19, 0.33 and 0.47, respectively…
