Summary: With the increasing demand for seafood worldwide, utilizing seafood byproducts can contribute to a sustainable food supply chain by converting waste into valuable food products. However, consumer perceptions of seafood byproducts, such as fish skin and bones, have not been thoroughly explored. This study aimed to evaluate the factors influencing consumers' willingness to try seafood byproducts. An online survey was conducted with 904 adult seafood consumers globally, and the results showed that presenting safety and health claims significantly increased the proportion of consumers willing to try seafood byproducts. Gender, race, seafood byproduct knowledge, previous consumption, and emotional baseline scores during the COVID-19 pandemic were identified as significant predictors of trial intent. Male consumers were more open to seafood byproduct consumption than females, and different racial identities showed varying responsiveness to seafood byproduct information. Factors such as boredom, feelings of unsafety, and a lack of feeling free were positively associated with increased willingness to try seafood byproducts. Potential seafood byproduct consumers identified fish products, seasoning mix, sauces and dressings, and soup and gravy products as the most appropriate for incorporating seafood byproducts. Concerns regarding sensory quality, safety, and nutrition were the main reasons for avoiding seafood byproducts. These consumer-driven findings can guide the development of seafood byproduct products, encouraging trial and overcoming aversions through new consumption experiences.

Summary: Consumers rely on external information, such as review keywords, to evaluate products during online shopping. However, the impact of review keywords on product consideration is still unclear. This study focused on clothing and built a model to examine the effects of quality- and fit-related review keywords on consumers' consideration of clothing. The findings suggest that quality-related keywords have a stronger positive impact compared to fit-related keywords. Additionally, presenting consumers with social-related and consumer buyback keywords can significantly improve clothing consideration. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of product consideration and provides insights for leveraging the advantages of online review keywords.
