“…Similar results were found in a qualitative study by Feucht and Zander (2015), where minimal use of drugs, naturalness, and fish welfare turned out to be important elements of sustainability in aquaculture. The increasing concern of fish welfare issues has some common features with the ongoing public debate and research regarding farm animal welfare (Di Pasquale et al, 2014;Janssen, Rödiger, & Hamm, 2016;Prickett, Norwood, & Lusk, 2010;Vanhonacker & Verbeke, 2014;Weible et al, 2016).…”

“…Higher subjective knowledge reduced the probability of belonging to the cluster with a "medium WTP". This result is surprising because the lack of knowledge was frequently purported to be a reason for the lack of interest and preference for sustainable fish (Feucht & Zander, 2015) because consumers might underestimate the consequences of their purchase decisions for or against sustainable products due to their lack of knowledge (Brécard, Hlaimi, Lucas, Perraudeau, & Salladarre, 2009). Different studies highlight the fact that knowledge about seafood seems to be frequently limited even though a generic understanding of sustainability in seafood exists Arvanitoyannis, Krystallis, Panagiotaki, & Theodorou, 2004;Feucht & Zander, 2015;Gutierrez & Thornton, 2014;Schlag & Ystgaard, 2013;Verbeke et al, 2007a).…”

“…So, the answers of the participants might also depend on their familiarity with "fish production methods" such as fishing from wild stocks or aquaculture. The high relevance of animal welfare issues poses a challenge for the aquaculture sector because intensive aquaculture systems are frequently compared with modern, industrial animal husbandry which are blamed for not respecting the well-being of animals (Feucht and Zander, 2015).…”

“…Recent research shows that the promotion of sustainability in seafood bears potential for product differentiation and thereby higher premiums and market shares (Ankamah-Yeboah et al, 2016;Asche, Larsen, Smith, SognGrundvåg, & Young, 2015;Jaffry, Pickering, Ghulam, Whitmarsh, & Wattage, 2004;Roheim, Asche, & Santos, 2011). Earlier research stressed that a particular consumer segment which appreciates additional ethical values of products and is willing to pay higher prices exists (Altintzoglou et al, 2010;Feucht & Zander, 2015;Kalshoven & Meijboom, 2013;Lasner & Hamm, 2014;Mauracher, Tempesta, & Vecchiato, 2013;Risius et al, 2017).…”

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.

“…Media analyses as a source of information on negative effects of aquaculture and conflicts associated with it also has its problems (Tiller et al 2012). This difficulty in assessing negative effects was reflected in a recent end-consumer study in Germany by Feucht and Zander (2014). Their focus group outcomes revealed an obvious lack of knowledge among the participants concerning aquaculture in general.…”

The Socio-economic Dimensions of Offshore Aquaculture in a Multi-use Setting

Aquaculture Perspective of Multi-Use Sites in the Open Ocean

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Decision-making within the marine realm is a complex process, which endorses ecological, societal and economic needs and they must therefore be managed jointly. Much of the formerly "free oceans" is nowadays subject to intensive uses, thus making the need to optimise the management of the resources within a multifunctional and multi-use(r) context apparent. The high competition for functions and uses of inshore and nearshore waters has given strong incentives to investigate the opportunities of moving industrial activities offshore. The current raise of offshore aquaculture is one prominent example of this. However, our understanding of the social dimensions and effects of offshore aquaculture is yet incomplete. We need to consider also how different multi-use settings for offshore aquaculture affect the socio-economic outcomes on various levels. During the development of offshore aquaculture, this multifunctional perspective has emerged especially for the combination with offshore wind farms. This synergy of two different stakeholders, the so-called multifunctional utilisation of marine areas, can be viewed as a new concept by the implementation of integrated, consensus-based resource planning conditions. We suggest a typology of social dimensions of marine aquaculture, based on the literature of "traditional" nearshore aquaculture. Based on this typology we discuss the current level of knowledge on the socio-economic dimensions of multi-use offshore aquaculture and point to further research needs.

The impact of sustainability on marketing strategy and business performance: The case of Italian fisheries

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the last years, sustainability has become a successful, relevant, critical factor in several food industries. The adoption of a sustainable marketing strategy contributes positively to changes in society in terms of environmental, social and economic development. The relationship between sustainability and business performance has been widely debated in management and organisational studies. However, despite its importance and relevance, fishery sustainability has not been systematically considered by scientific studies. This paper identifies and analyses the critical factors that describe the propensity towards sustainable development for large companies within the Italian fishery sector. For this purpose, the relationships among the following latent variables were analysed: sustainable social behaviour, sustainable environmental behaviour, sustainable marketing, and return on investment. A theoretical research model has been proposed and empirically tested using a methodology based on structural equation modelling.
