Demand structure and market segmentation for seafood have been investigated intensively. However, most the researches so far applied traditional demand analysis and descriptive segmentation approach by separated models. The traditional demand analysis assuming consumer homogeneity, behavior consistence, and using aggregate data may result biased estimation, while the segmentation based on...
The fairness and inclusiveness of globalization in seafood trade is coming under increased scrutiny due to economic, social and environmental impacts created as trade has expanded, often leading to imbalances among nations. The European Union is the most important world market for the consumption of seafood. Despite the construction of...

The ex-vessel supply chain for fisheries has been recognized as an important determinant of value generation. In recent years, as the retail demand for fresh seafood products has increased, many independent fishermen have bypassed thin, monopsonized, or otherwise inferior wholesale markets by engaging in implicit or explicit fixed-output contracts with...

Fish are marketed with various intermediaries between producers and final consumers. The number and the nature of the intermediaries, market structures at each stage of the value chain and other factors related to the organisation of markets may substantially affect the transmission of information throughout the chain. The present study...
The fish market in Finland has changed dramatically since the removal of trade barriers to the importation of fresh salmon in 1993. Imported salmon has rapidly captured markets from domestically produced salmon trout. Another clear trend has been increased concentration at the wholesale and retail level, which in turn has...
The extent to which demand and supply shocks are transmitted in the value chain is an important topic. As many value chains cross international borders exchange rate pass through is an important element in this context. In this paper a multivariate system that allow us to test different hypothesis with...
The economic viability of the fishery will be dependant on the ability of the processors to deliver
desired products to their customers, when required. The ultimate goal must therefore be to identify
what the customers want and then to optimise the process that delivers the final product.
