Summary: The study aimed to improve consumer perceptions of aquaculture products through the transmission of scientifically supported information. Results showed a slight but significant increase in consumer perception regardless of the communication tool used, with age and gender influencing perceptions the most. Consumption habits and knowledge about aquaculture were also key factors for changes in perception. This highlights the effectiveness of science- and fact-based communication campaigns in improving societal perception of aquaculture practices and products.

Intentions to Consume Sustainably Produced Fish: The Moderator Effects of Involvement and Environmental Awareness

Kare Skallerud et al.

Summary: This study applied the theory of planned behavior to explain Swedish consumers' consumption of sustainably produced fish, finding that attitudes had a positive effect on intention to consume fish, social norms influenced general fish consumption intention, and involvement and environmental awareness negatively moderated the effect of attitudes on intention to consume sustainably produced fish. These findings suggest that attempts to promote food product involvement and environmental awareness among consumers may have unintended consequences.
