Fish is the cheapest animal protein source in Nigeria and dry fish, in particular, has the potential to solve the pervasive protein shortage problem owing to its relative affordability compared with fresh fish. Boosting dry fish consumption will entail retail price reduction which is achievable only if the market for...
By analysis of the aquatic products market in China, the following characteristics are found. The total volume and proportion of the aquatic products consumption have been increasing gradually. The proportion of oceanic halieutics in total aquatic products and the proportion between oceanic products and freshwater products have decreased annually. The...
A significant pattern in Spanish salt fish demand over the last decade has been a steady increase in consumption of frozen light salted fillet, mainly at the expense of traditional wet salted whole consumption. Our findings suggest that a significant trend exists that consumers in Spain prefer purchasing the light...
