| Abstract | The authors performed a small- scale survey of owners/managers of restaurants in Sinaloa, Mexico, to assist aquaculture cooperatives in identifying opportunities for marketing oysters within the state. Results showed that potential buyers preferred live, large- sized oysters with a three-day shelf life. Buyers also considered water quality at product origin and mode of transportation, important factors in food safety. All would pay more for quality product with year-round delivery. |
