“…A substantial body of research has found that consumers have a higher WTP for local food products (Printezis et al, 2019). A limited number of research articles have estimated WTP for locally produced seafood (Quagrainie et al, 2008, Fonner & Sylvia, 2015Shamshak et al, 2020) and local seafood with product integrity labels (Ropicki et al, 2010). Several other papers have analyzed consumer preferences for aquaculture products such as oysters (Kecinski et al, 2017;Li et al, 2017;Loose et al, 2013;Manalo & Gempesaw, 1997;Thapa et al, 2015) and salmon (Alfnes et al, 2006;Holland & Wessells, 1998;Roheim et al, 2012), and a broader array of aquaculture products (Bouchard et al, 2021).…”

We designed and implemented a discrete choice experiment to assess how information about the health, environmental, and economic benefits of locally produced aquaculture products affect Connecticut consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for products produced in the state, as compared with products from another state or another country. We find that information about local economic benefits tended to increase WTP for Connecticut-grown and -raised products, whereas information about health, safety, and the environment tended to decrease WTP for products from other regions. We also explore heterogeneous effects of the information treatments by respondent gender, education, and income.
