“…This study also found that a higher preference for fish taste increased the likelihood of a bigger expenditure share on fish, which is accompanied by a decrease in the odds of a bigger expenditure share on chicken. This outcome corroborates the results of fish consumption and willingness to pay reported by Morales and Higuchi (), Olsen (), Olsen et al () and Thong and Solgaard (). Therefore, this study demonstrates that taste is also a significant reason to purchase fish, as described by Foxall et al ().…”

“…One of the most relevant findings of this study is that consumers who believed fish is healthy and nutritious for the family were more likely to spend a bigger expenditure share on fish and less on beef. These results confirm the outcomes for fish consumption and a willingness to pay extra reported by Morales and Higuchi (), Olsen (), Thong and Solgaard () and Verbeke and Vackier (), and the effects of campaigns to substitute fish for meat consumption indicated by Apostolidis and McLeay ().…”

“…In the case study of Modern Metropolitan Lima, Peru, six belief factors were found that correspond with the findings of Morales and Higuchi (), Olsen (), and Thong and Solgaard (). The results also show that belief factors , socio‐demographics and lifestyle variables significantly affected expenditure shares on fish and meat.…”

“…The validity of the six multivariable belief contracts identified in the EFA was corroborated using a CFA, which tested the relationships between beliefs about fish and their constructs. For that purpose, we allowed beliefs about fish to load only on a single factor, following a procedure similar to that conducted by Janssens, Wijnen, Pelsmacker, and Kenhove (), Morales and Higuchi () and Thong and Solgaard (). The results of the CFA presented in Table support the existence of six unidimensional latent factors of beliefs about fish, referred to as belief factors , which are similar to those reported by Olsen (), Morales and Higuchi () and Thong and Solgaard ().…”

Health benefits derived from regular fish intake have encouraged governments to promote its consumption. However, can beliefs about fish increase expenditure on fish and reduce meat expenditure? Survey data from Modern Metropolitan Lima, Peru, indicate that female respondents were more likely to spend a bigger proportion on fish, while more educated respondents spent less on fish. Also, those with a higher household income and who eat fast food regularly were more likely to spend a bigger proportion on beef. Factors that positively influence expenditure share on fish were the belief that fish is healthy and nutritious, a preference for fish flavor and familiarity with fish. Conversely, these beliefs reduced the expenditure shares on beef and chicken. These outcomes demonstrate both the positive effect of fish consumption campaigns on fish expenditure and their negative impacts on meat expenditure, which has implications for campaigns developed by governments and the meat industry. Practical applications Food policies and campaigns that promote regular fish consumption by highlighting its positive health benefits and nutritional content can influence the proportion that consumers spend on fish versus other sources of animal protein, beyond their effects on consumer preferences and willingness‐to‐pay for fish. However, these campaigns can result in reduced meat expenditure. These substitution effects between expenditure on related products, such as the case of fish and different types of meats, need to be considered by the authorities and the food industry, as new marketing strategies may need to be developed to increase the consumption of specific fish and meat products that have positive health and nutrition properties. In addition, food processors and retailers could introduce and promote new products in convenient formats for meal preparation to encourage consumption of fish and meat as part of a healthy diet.

“…However, because of insufficient data, it is not easy to determine recent consumption patterns and preferences. Therefore, to examine the determinants of the acceptance of eco-labeled seafood in Korea is significant.Some studies have measured the determinants of seafood consumption by employing choice models and successfully applying techniques to describe choice behavior [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Some case studies also evaluate consumer preference for eco-labeled seafood [16][17][18][19].…”

In Korea, fishery managers, eco-labeled program operators, and the government need detailed information regarding individual-level preferences for eco-labeled seafood. This study aims to identify the determinants of consumer preference for such seafood. Specifically, an ordered probit model is estimated by using micro-survey data obtained from interviews of 2773 randomly selected Korean households. Overall, the estimation results reveal that the chosen model is appropriate to analyze consumer preference for eco-labeled seafood. The coefficients of consumption frequency, the importance of price, the confirmation of origin, residential area, and household income are statistically meaningful. If consumers consider price an important factor, their consumption of eco-labeled seafood may decrease. Moreover, consumers with interest in the origin of seafood are more likely to accept eco-labeled seafood. To increase the consumption of eco-labeled seafood, it is recommended to develop products designed specifically for segmented markets and promote functional features. The findings can provide a valuable guideline to marketing managers and policy makers for designing effective strategies regarding eco-labeled seafood.
