“…Consumers' preference for local or domestic produce over foreign products is another well-known trend for food in general (Feldmann & Hamm, 2015;Grebitus, Lusk, & Nayga, 2013;Zepeda & Deal 2009), which was also identified for seafood (Altintzoglou, Verbeke, Vanhonacker, & Luten, 2010;Claret et al, 2012;Risius, Janssen, & Hamm, 2017).…”

“…Many consumers are increasingly interested in additional product attributes such as ecofriendliness, organic production, and domestic/ European origin, given that general expectations with respect to price and quality are met (e.g., Ankamah-Yeboah, Nielsen, & Nielsen, 2016;Bergleiter & Meisch, 2015;Brécard, Hlaimi, Lucas, Perraudeau, & Salladarre, 2009;Brunsø et al, 2008;Carlucci et al, 2015;Claret et al, 2012;Olesen, Alfnes, Bensze Rora, & Kolstad, 2010;Whitmarsh & Palmieri, 2011).…”

Sustainability of increasing relevance also for seafood markets. The aim of this contribution is to analyze consumer preferences and their willingness to pay (WTP) for different sustainability claims, and to identify consumer segments according to their WTP. The contingent valuation method was applied to elicit consumers' WTP in eight European countries. The WTP varies between seven and almost 20%, depending on attribute and country. Three consumer groups become apparent: the largest group without any additional WTP, a smaller group with a moderate additional WTP of plus 17%, and a very small group with an additional WTP of more than 40%. Clear differences between countries are obvious regarding preferences for different sustainability attributes, particularly in the segment with the highest WTP. A fraction of the consumers is willing to pay significantly higher prices for sustainably produced fish from Europe: given that trustful standards are applied and well communicated.

“…the country-of-origin effect (Claret et al, 2012;Godey et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2013;Lagerkvist et al, 2014). Conversely, the study of the region-of-origin (ROO) effect has been left somewhat in the background (González & Villanueva, 2001;Pharr, 2005;De Francesco et al, 2012).…”

Research on the place-of-origin effect has proliferated in recent decades, although there are still gaps in this field, especially in relation to the region-of-origin (ROO) and to the influence of certain moderating variables on the effect. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the ROO effect in the purchase of wine, paying special attention to the moderating role played by familiarity. Via a survey of 427 consumers carried out in the region of Extremadura (Spain), the paper study how variables as the region's overall image, its image as a wine producer, the perceived quality of its products, and consumer ethnocentrism affect the intention to purchase regional wines. To reach that goal, a structural equation model was applied using the Partial Least Square technique to identify the variables that explain and moderate this intention. The results show the region's overall image (2.65% of contribution to the purchase intentions explained variance), its image as a wine producer (8.39%), the perceived quality of its products (22.42%), and consumer ethnocentrism (10.23%) to affect the purchase intentions directly and indirectly. The confirmation of a moderating effect of familiarity in one of the model relationships contributes to give answer to one of the most significant questions in marketing theory about the origin effect. These results have important managerial implications for policy decision-makers, confirming the value of implementing communication campaigns that pursue improvement of the region's image as a brand.Additional key words: Spanish wine market; partial least square; structural equation modelling; consumer behaviour; region image; perceived quality; consumer ethnocentrism.

“…To tackle the inadequate supply of capture fishery resources, which have been greatly depleted due to overfishing, for meeting the growing market demand, farmed fish have become an important source of fish supply globally (Claret et al 2012). In 2011, farmed fish contributed to over 40 % of the total worldwide fish production and reached 88.5 % in Asia (Food and Agriculture Organization 2013).…”

Fish is one of the most important nutrition sources for humanity. Contaminant exposure risk in fish farming will eventually deliver to the crowd through diet. China is the largest fish producing as well as exporting country, where mariculture plays an important role in fish production, especially in South China. Previous investigations indicated that a variety of compartments in farming areas of South China Sea were polluted by persistent organic pollutants, including DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and its derivatives, some of which is designated as DDTs. In the present study, Hailing Bay and Daya Bay of Guangdong Province, China, were selected as the study sites and DDTs as the target compounds. A fish enrichment model was developed to assess the relative contributions of various pathways to the mass loadings of DDTs in the fish. Average concentrations (and concentration ranges) of DDTs in various environmental compartments of Hailing Bay and Daya Bay were included in modeling and analysis. Modeling results indicated that fish food and seawater contributed approximately the same proportions for the DDTs in maricultured fish. Antifouling paint was supposed to be the primary source of water DDTs in mariculture zone of Hailing Bay and Daya Bay, which contributed 69 % of the total DDTs to the mariculture water. We suggest that in order to protect people from consuming highly contaminated maricuture zone fish, the most effective and feasible methods are using environment-friendly antifouling paint and applying less polluted fish food in the fish reproduction process.
