Consumer tendencies
• Although consumers say to prefer wild fish, in reality they buy what is available and consided as good value for money
• Filleted pre-packed fish as being considered as convenient is an increasing choice of French consumers

Middle-upper class restaurants
-Wild fish and high quality farmed seafood such as “Label Rouge” labeled products - Fresh seafood in very large proportion
- Farmed fresh fish, European origin,- Defrosted products including fillets, non-EU origin,-Frozen finfish, either basic range as today, or more sales of top quality frozen fish?

Communication and promotion for both wild and farmed fish
• National - NORGE (Norway) - Canada - Iceland - France (brad created in 2012)
• Regional - Scotland - Alaska - Bretagne
![Page 13: Promotional activities on aquaculture products in France Marie Christine Monfort Ekaterina Tribilustova 6-7 June 2013 Zadar, Croatia](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ced5503460f949baa53/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The image of fish is positive,
• When it comes to farmed fish, there is no consensus : Quality, some say better taste than wild; others not; Some say fresher than wild, other not,
• Some still don’t know about the existence of farmed fish,
• Little awareness of farmed fish production. Some compare with on-land production system (henns in battery cages),
• The information conveyed to consumers is not comprehensive in terms of origin: legislation in incomplete (in restaurants no obligation to mention wild or farmed) and in retail shops it is not applied/ complied thoroughly (since 2002 it is mandatory for fishmongers to mention if fish is farmed or wild),
• There is some confusion among French consumers about what fish is farmed or not.

Consumer SurveyIn 2013, CIPA asked M.C Monfort Consultant and Co-Spirit to lead a field survey on farmed fish and trout in France. From January to March 2013, a panel of 820 consumers was asked about their feeling on farmed fish, on trout , and on the quality standard «Charte Qualité – Aquaculture de Nos Régions ® ».
Next step : presentation of the results to the distributors and opinion leaders in the « Newsmag » and definition of a new promotion campaign based on these results for 2013/2014.

Some conclusions of the consumers study
87% eat fresh fish in FranceFarmed fish is less attractive than wild fish.• Taste: 54% said that farmed fish is not as good as wild fish• Nutritional values: consumers believe that farmed fish is fatter than wild fish and
has less nutritional valuesThis negative image comes from the perception that :• Feed for farmed fish is less healthy than what wild fish eats (56% respondants)• Farmed fish grow in an environment less « natural » compared to wild fish (45%
respondants)
Despite these negative opinions, people do buy farmed fish because:• 55% says it is less expensive/ 60% mention the price for the number one
advantage of farmed fish• 38% says to consume farmed fish it is available and easier to find• 21% says to buy farmed fish to preserve the marine environment (overfishing)
