A 2011 survey from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration assessing consumer willingness to pay price premiums for tuna. The survey focused on preferences for tuna harvested from stocks with known abundance, known by-catch rates, and the effects of tuna farming. Data is available in PDF and JSON formats.
Use Cases
- Estimate price premiums for eco-labeled seafood based on consumer survey responses.
- Model consumer preference trade-offs between stock abundance and by-catch rates.
- Analyze the impact of aquaculture (tuna farming) on consumer purchasing decisions.
Strengths
- Survey conducted by a national government agency (NOAA).
- Focuses on three specific, policy-relevant attributes: stock abundance, by-catch rates, and farming effects.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is from 2011; consumer attitudes may have shifted.
