“…Empirical support for regional variations in consumer behaviour is provided by various researchers (Gentry et al 1988;Parker and Tavassoli 2000). Location differences have also been found for buying behaviour regarding food (Myrland et al 2000;Wandel and Bugge 1997).…”

Water is a scarce resource in many parts of the developed world. Two solutions are possible to address water scarcity: conservation of existing resources, or the further production of water from new sources e.g. through recycling of wastewater or desalination of seawater. However, the main hurdle to implementation of many of these solutions is often viewed as a lack of public willingness to adopt these alternative water behaviours. Research in this area is therefore crucial. Yet, and possibly due to the interdisciplinary nature of such research, there is currently no comprehensive overview of what has been done before. This study fills this gap by (1) choosing a general consumer behaviour perspective as a starting point, (2) developing a conceptual model of research required in the area of water-related public acceptance studies, (3) identifying eight key water-related behaviours which require future research attention, and (4) reviewing which areas of the conceptual model have been investigated in the past by conducting an extensive literature review of water-related social science research. The review established that the majority of work which has been conducted is located at the crossroads of personal characteristics and behavioural intentions. Significant gaps exist in relation to researching the adoption of a wide range of demand-side water behaviours. This indicates a dominance of supply-side solutions in social-research exploration. The review identifies a number of research needs including: the exploration of actual adoption of water-related behaviours (rather than behavioural intentions); and to widen the scope of water behaviour enquiry to include more demand-side solutions. Given the increasing scarcity of water in many areas of the world, addressing these identified gaps will be of significant importance. Thus our model informs the social-research agenda for water policy.

“…It is important to consider that in studies on perception of fish consumption in regions where fish has a high price, this attribute becomes a limiting factor for consumption (MYRLAND et al, 2000;TRONDSEN et al, 2004). Kubitza (2002) emphasizes that other parameters are also considered by the consumer in the perception of fish quality, namely the general appearance of the product (color, perception of cleanliness, and hygiene), packaging, information supplied by the manufacturer (nutritional value, product origin, ingredients, and other details that characterize the product and elucidate the main questions of the potential buyer), and records of official inspection services among other things.…”

“…In recent years, there has been an increased demand for fish, in part, due to the perception of its benefits to human health (MACIEL; OETTERER, 2010) and to the greater availability of fish-based products (MYRLAND et al, 2000).…”

“…Icelandic children liked DCS more than Iranian children, but Iranian children liked FCS more than Icelandic children. The differences between nationalities are possibly due to different culture, dietary habits and traditions of consumers (Myrland et al 2000; Verbeke and Vackier 2005;Pieniak et al 2008;Neely et al 2010a, b). Liking was affected by gender but not by age or frequency of snack consumption (Table 5).…”

Corn snack fortified with 7% fish protein powder made from saithe (Pollachius Virens) surimi was selected by expert panel from industry for consumer studies in Iran and Iceland. They hedonically screened products with 3%, 5%, 7% and 9% fish protein powder. Snack containing 9% fish protein powder (FP) had significantly lower liking for odour, texture, flavour, and overall acceptability than the other three prototypes. Snacks fortified with 3%, 5%, and 7% FP had similar sensory attributes. Therefore, snack with the highest level of FP (7%) was selected for acceptance tests. It was seasoned with cheese powder, vegetable oil, salt, and colorant. The amount of protein, moisture, fat, ash and salt in fortified corn snack (FCS) was 12%, 2%, 31%, 3%, and 2% respectively. Consumers' acceptance was studied using a central location test method. Consumers were 6-16 years old children in two communities (Iceland and Iran). They liked FCS but Iranian children favoured it more than Icelandic children. Majority of parents of the participants expressed their willingness to choose this product when buying snacks.
