Abstract: Regarding food-labeling programs, France created a set of official labels according to origin, superior quality, organic agriculture, or specific standards. While these labels have been widely used in the agri-food sector for many years, they have been applied only recently in the seafood sector, especially to farmed products. The economic importance of labeled aquaculture products is still limited, but developing. This paper will reflect on the use of labels for aquaculture products in the French seafood market and attempt to identify their effectiveness.
