"One of the points of view that has been in the discussion is precisely the welfare of animals in aquaculture production. It is therefore important to investigate whether different treatment of fish in relation to animal welfare actually affects the taste and properties of the product. If that is the case, it could affect consumers, "says Morgunbla\u00f0i\u00f0 on Thursday 6 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says that in the autumn of 2006, an extensive pan-European study was carried out as part of Mat\u00eds' participation in the so-called SEAFOOD plus project, which is funded by the European Union. The aim was to examine whether farmed cod, which were produced with special regard to animal welfare on the one hand and produced in the traditional way on the other, had different quality characteristics. A consumer survey was also conducted to examine whether consumers had different tastes for these products and whether different information about the fire had an effect on how consumers liked products. Such information is important for those who fish, process products from farmed fish as well as sellers, "says an article in Morgunbla\u00f0i\u00f0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also stated that in Iceland the survey was divided into two parts. "On the one hand, more than one hundred people came to Mat\u00eds and tasted Norwegian farmed cod, and on the other hand, about seventy families brought fish home to cook and taste. A similar survey was conducted among consumers in the Netherlands and Spain at the same time, "says Morgunbla\u00f0i\u00f0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traditional cod farming was found to have a flakier and softer texture and was more reminiscent of wild fish, while farmed cod, which was produced with special regard to animal welfare, was found to have a more meaty and tough texture. Consumers who came to Mat\u00eds to taste fish were told that the fish they tasted was Norwegian farmed cod, but no information was provided on the production method. "This group of consumers found that farmed cod produced by traditional methods was slightly better than cod, which was produced with special regard to animal welfare. It was mainly the texture and smell that they liked better than the traditional farmed cod, "says Morgunbla\u00f0i\u00f0.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
