Abstract: Income level and urbanization rate are the important factors influencing the consumption of aquatic products, to explore the impact of per capita GDP growth on per capita consumption of aquatic products is useful to evaluate the characteristic of per capita consumption of aquatic products in China. This paper analyzed the relationship between the per capita consumption of aquatic products and the per capita GDP from 1981 to 2015 by using the method of econometric analysis such as cointegration theory and error correction model. The results show that there is a long-term cointegration relationship between per capita consumption of aquatic products and per capita GDP. The change of per capita GDP is the one-way Granger cause of per capita consumption of aquatic products, namely, the increase of economic income could help to increase the consumption of aquatic products. The impact of per capita GDP on per capita consumption of aquatic products is greater than the impact of per capita consumption of aquatic products on per capita GDP, and maintaining the level of income growth is an important measure to promote consumption of aquatic products.
