Abstract

Abstract At present, aquaculture is still subject to social debate. This paper analyzes its social acceptance compared to traditional fishing, mainly by applying the structural equations methodology. This technique has been widely used in recent times in social sciences but is minor in this field. We propose a model in which we break down its acceptance in two dimensions: Product and company. We also try to see if there are differences in the perception of men and women. To this end, we have carried out 803 personal surveys in several Spanish coastal provinces. Among the results, we can highlight the good level of acceptance of its products, positively influencing their companies' perception. We can recommend the development of synergies between the different agents involved to improve their acceptance. By gender, general acceptance is higher in men than in women; however, we have not detected significant differences in both groups' perceptions when analyzed using structural equations.

通过结构方程模型测量水产养殖的社会经济接受度。西班牙男女之间存在差异吗?

目前，水产养殖仍是社会争论的焦点。本文主要运用结构方程方法，对其与传统渔业的社会接受度进行了分析。这一技术近年来在社会科学领域得到了广泛的应用，但在这一领域的应用还比较少。我们提出了一个模型，在这个模型中，我们将其接受度分解为两个维度:产品和公司。我们也试着看看对男性和女性的看法是否存在差异。为此，我们在西班牙几个沿海省份进行了803次个人调查。在结果中，我们可以突出其产品的接受程度良好，积极影响其公司的感知。我们可以建议在涉及的不同药剂之间发展协同作用，以提高它们的接受度。从性别来看，男性的普遍接受度高于女性;然而，当使用结构方程进行分析时，我们没有发现两组人的看法有显著差异。
