Why is it important?
In this contribution, we, this is the first time, assessed consumers' knowledge discrepancy (subjective vs. objective) systematically. We also quantified the over and underestimation of consumers' knowledge and how these knowledge discrepancies affect their Farm-raised fish choices.
Perspectives
Consumers often underestimate and/or, overestimate their intrinsic knowledge level, creating confusion while purchasing, This idea crossed the authors mind and, in order to answer whether such is the case, this research contributes to explain the questions.
