Asia accounts for over 70% of total global aquatic food consumption, but aquatic food consumption behaviours and attitudes among Asian consumers are poorly documented and understood. This paper synthesises literature on factors influencing aquatic food consumption behaviour in Asia and the potential to support transitions toward more sustainable food consumption patterns. We identified 113 studies for inclusion in a scoping review, and identified five clusters of publications: (1) product attributes, availability, and accessibility (24% of publications); (2) willingness to pay for aquatic foods (25%); (3) psychosocial factors (e.g., attitudes and subjective norms) (17%); (4) sociodemographic and lifestyle factors (21%); and (5) miscellaneous factors, including food safety and social status (13%). This study indicates that multiple interacting factors influence aquatic food consumption behaviours among Asian consumers, among which price is central. Knowledge of, and attitudes toward, the perceived quality and safety of aquatic foods were identified as important but were mediated by household characteristics. Sustainable production practices, country of origin, and ecolabels were found to be less influential on consumption behaviour. We found that improving consumers' knowledge and attitudes about the quality and safety of aquatic foods might positively influence aquatic food consumption behaviour. Future multidisciplinary research is required to better understand interactions among the multiple factors that influence Asian consumers' aquatic food consumption behaviour.
亚洲的水产食品消费量占全球总量的70%以上，但亚洲消费者的水产食品消费行为和态度却鲜有文献记载和研究。本文综合了关于影响亚洲水产食品消费行为的因素以及支持向更可持续的食品消费模式转变的潜力的文献。我们确定了113项研究纳入范围综述，并确定了五类出版物：（1）产品属性、可得性和可及性（占出版物的24%）；（2）购买水产食品的意愿（25%）；（3）心理社会因素（如态度和主观规范）（17%）；（4）社会人口统计学和生活方式因素（21%）；以及（5）其他因素，包括食品安全和社会地位（13%）。本研究表明，多种相互作用的因素影响着亚洲消费者的水产食品消费行为，其中价格是核心因素。对水产食品感知质量和安全性的了解及态度被认为很重要，但受家庭特征的调节。可持续生产实践、原产国和生态标签对消费行为的影响较小。我们发现，提高消费者对水产食品质量和安全性的认识和态度可能会对水产食品消费行为产生积极影响。未来需要开展多学科研究，以更好地理解影响亚洲消费者水产食品消费行为的多种因素之间的相互作用。
