Consumers

Consumers are an integral part of the chain. They will finally be responsible for the development and for the economic sustainability of the fish chain by their ability to purchase fish products offered by distributors. Their buying behavior will largely guide the actors in the fish sector, especially fishermen and processors. Consumers are the most likely actors to promote the integration of environmental, economic and social criteria by the various actors of the fish chain.

Small-scale and coastal fisheries (artisanal fisheries) represent the essence of the French fleet. For several years already, it is estimated that ships of less than 12 m represent about 80% of the vessels. Year 2008 was hard for fleets as French auction markets dropped 10% in volume and 11% in value. But artisanal boats made better than others. Source: Philippe Urvois, Le Marin, 2009/04/03.
