Consumers’ attitude towards fish meat

The overall aim of this paper is to show the factors that may affect consumers’ attitude towards farmed fish products. Consumers ask
new products on the basis of different quality
attributes: stability, safety, composition, better
health effects, environment protection, etc.
Different and controversial opinions on farmed
and wild fish are also explored by literature
review. The authors pay attention also to fish
welfare as an emerging issue and effective information
about fish products as a factor exerting a
positive influence on consumers’ decision of
purchase. Some relevant legislative notes on the
paper’s topics are also cited. The qualitative
aspects of aquaculture fish and the consumers’
demand and choice need further studies, according
to some factors, such as the changing consumers’
attitudes towards fish products, the different
fish quality perception and the development
in the aquaculture systems.
