New publication on the assessment of consumer attitudes towards marine non-indigenous fish species: A case study from Greece.
Non-indigenous fish species continue to spread into the Mediterranean Sea, changing species assemblages and reshaping marine ecosystems. The promotion of edible alien species through a market-based approach has been proposed as a measure to limit their spread and the negative effects they may have on local habitats, and also provide economic revenues to fishers.
According to the results of the study, several consumers are aware of the adverse effects of marine alien species and are willing to purchase these species when they are available in restaurants, while about 8 out of 10 would consume alien fish species knowing that it helps protect native species and the marine environment.
Multivariate models revealed that the most important criteria for the consumers were (a) the freshness of the products, (b) whether the fish is poisonous, and (c) the hygienic conditions of the fish market.
The results reflect the positive attitude of Greek consumers towards non-indigenous fish species and underline the importance of further promoting a market that could improve the sustainability of fisheries and environmental protection.
