“…Therefore, the possibility of increasing the consumption of these products in the EU28 by simply providing clearer and easier to understand information can be considered an adequate policy to implement, especially, keeping in mind, that around 3% of respondents from the Eurobarometer survey indicated that the information accompanying FAPs was not at all clear or easy to understand (European Union, 2018a, 2018b. This strategy is also supported by several studies in the literature, which conclude that providing quality information to consumers enhances product attributes (Bronnmann and Hoffmann, 2018;Kumar, 2018).…”

The European Union (EU) is the world's largest market for fishery and aquaculture products (FAPs) in nominal terms. Given the importance of these products, EU authorities and policy-makers are continuously monitoring consumer preferences and attitudes, analysing whether or not the implementation of EU policies and regulations improves the market conditions. For example, the Eurobarometer (European Union, 2018a) surveyed 27,732 EU residents including a specific module to analyse the fishery and aquaculture EU market. In this study, the dataset is used to estimate Ordered Probit models using effects coding and their marginal effects to identify the main determinants of the frequency of FAPs at-home consumption. Results indicate that the highest probability to consume more frequently FAPs is related to considering that one of the main reasons for buying or eating fishery and aquaculture products is because they are healthy, while the highest probability to consume less frequently FAPs is related to consumers who do not understand at all the information accompanying the products. Similarly, other important reasons for consuming FAPs more frequently are their good taste and low relative price. Also, results indicate a higher frequency of consumption of FAPs for those consumers who are over 55 years of age, are wealthy, have a wild product preference, live in a household of 3 persons or more and are very satisfied with their lives. To our best knowledge, there is not a similar approach in the current literature that considers such an extensive sample which is representative of all the countries that conform the EU28. Results provide valuable information especially for producers and authorities in terms of marketing and policy analysis.

“…The freshness of the product is important as sometimes it is associated with its quality [ 6 ]. In the literature, several studies have shown a general preference and greater willingness to pay for fresh products over other types of presentations [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ]. A study found that freshness was the most important attribute for farmed seabream consumption in Portugal [ 62 ], while another study in Europe found that one of the most important reasons for buying local and European products was its greater freshness [ 71 ].…”

Attitudes are important key drivers that affect consumers’ seafood consumption. The present investigation used a best–worst scaling approach to measure the level of importance and satisfaction of consumers’ attitudes towards the purchase of seabream and seabass in Gran Canaria (Spain). The investigation also compared the results of the best–worst scaling (BWS) approach with those of the traditional Likert-scale method and offers a different perspective of the results using an Importance–Satisfaction Analysis (ISA). The results indicate that the most important attributes concerned the hygiene and safety of the product, the health benefits, the freshness, the taste and the nutrients. At the same time, these attributes were ranked as those which satisfied consumers the most. However, some of the results obtained from the methodologies differed. The results suggest that, in the Likert-scale task, respondents might be overstating the importance and satisfaction of the attributes; while in the BWS, consumers were forced to evaluate a trade-off in the selection of the best and worst attributes in each scenario, so the task impeded, in principle, to define every attribute as very important and providing a high satisfaction. As a result, we consider that BWS offers more reliable and clearer results than traditional Likert-scale experiments.

“…There are several concerns with respect to environmental sustainability (Abate, Nielsen, & Nielsen, ; Abolofia, Asche, & Wilen, ; Fischer, Guttormsen, & Smith, ; Quezada & Dresdner, ), even though there is evidence that regulations, when properly implemented and enforced, can address these issues (Osmundsen, Almklov, & Tveterås, ; Tveterås, ) and that aquaculture is a sustainable food production technology compared to many alternatives (Froehlich, Runge, Gentry, Gaines, & Halpern, ). Several studies find a preference for wild seafood (Davidson, Pan, Hu, & Poerwanto, ; C. A. Roheim, Bush, Asche, Sanchirico, & Uchida, ; C. Roheim, Sudhakaran, & Durham, ), although there is some evidence this can be mitigated with ecolabels for some species and in some markets (Bronnmann & Asche, ; Bronnmann & Hoffman, ). However, the development does reflect the global production patterns (Anderson et al, ) and the market development for specific species in specific regions (Dey et al, ), as well as the potential competitive advantages of aquaculture products not only with respect to control over the production process but also with control and efficiency in logistics and marketing (Asche, Cojocaru, & Roth, ; Landazuri‐Tveteraas, Asche, Gordon, & Tveteras, ).…”

U.S. seafood consumption has changed dramatically in recent decades and has become increasingly dominated by the consumption of a limited number of species that are primarily imported and predominantly sourced from aquaculture. In getting to this point, the United States has been, and still is, at the forefront of some of the most important trends in global seafood markets. Hence, discussing the factors influencing U.S. seafood consumption patterns is an interesting and informative endeavor and will most likely also have strong predictive power for the continued development of seafood markets in the United States. In this article, we will discuss the transitions in the U.S. seafood market, primarily focusing on the period from 1990 to the present, highlighting the main factors that facilitated this development. This article provides an overview of U.S. landings, aquaculture production, exports, and imports and also explores contributing trends in global export and import markets. This will be followed by a discussion of U.S. per capita consumption patterns and an examination of the consolidation of species consumed over time. Finally, implications for future trends in seafood consumption and production are discussed.
