French Consumers' Attitudes and Preferences toward Wild and Farmed Fish
We investigated consumer preferences for wild and farmed fish in an experiment with 276 participants in France. The experiment consisted of three rounds--each round included a survey, sensory trials, and bidding. The survey results indicate consumers (1) perceive wild fish best for safety and health...
