Abstract
Different food attributes exert a certain influence on consumers’ needs and choice: stability, safety, composition, better health effects, environment, animal protection etc. The paper shows the issues relating to consumers’ choice in the field of farmed fish products; a comparison between wild and farmed fish is also explored. Some consumers’ segments pay a particular attention to health, well-being and protection of farmed fishes; the review focuses upon these aspects with particular attention. An effective information about fish products, as a factor exerting a positive influence on consumers’ purchase decision, is also considered. The issues on the quality of aquaculture fish, consumers’ demand and choice need a better knowledge, with a particular reference to fish protection and welfarePubblicazioni consigliate
