Aquaculture product quality issues: market position opportunities under mandatory seafood inspection regulations
1Food Flavor Quality Research, USDA Agricultural Research Service, New Orleans, LA 70179.
Abstract:
Impending legislation for a mandatory seafood inspection program will be important in shaping the consumer's perception and expectation of quality in seafood products. Because aquacultured species are produced in controlled environments, fed special diets, and processed under optimum conditions, they possess unique product characteristics. The perception by the consumer that these products could be safer, fresher, more wholesome, and better tasting may lead to a competitive marketing position relative to captured products.
