Consumer Demand for Environmental, Social, and Ethical Information in Fishery and Aquaculture Product Labels

Abstract: Customers’ attention to sustainability labels in fishery and aquaculture products (FAPs) has been increasing in the last decades, and the industry has adapted to this growing interest by adopting fish ecolabels. However, there is a growing interest to widen the sustainability concept to include the social and ethical information of the fishery and aquaculture industry and to go further from the voluntary approach on the labeling of these aspects in FAPs.

“…Similarly, two recent studies from Italy showed that consumers (particularly some groups, including women) were willing to pay higher prices for eco-labeled fish products, at times independent of income (Maesano et al, 2020;Vitale et al, 2020), and that eco-labeling of low-trophic species such as anchovy led to greater consumer acceptance (Vitale et al, 2020). Some consumers, particularly those who are younger, have higher education or consider themselves to be environmentally aware, desire more social and ethical considerations to be included on eco-labels (Peiró-Signes et al, 2022).…”

One of the concepts is information asymmetry and trust, such that information asymmetry exists when one party has more or better information than the other, leading to potential imbalances in decision making [9].…”

“…On the one hand, technological innovation allows the enhancement of product preparation, presentation, and shelf life to meet constantly rising standards [ 6 ]. On the other hand, market research has the potential to identify the most influential factors for seafood consumption, such as food safety, quality, price, and convenience [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook food products are, indeed, more attractive to consumers than fresh and raw products [ 15 ].…”
