Perception in France of Economic Actors and NGO about Genetically Modified Fish

DOGMATIS is a multidisciplinary research project funded by the French Research Agency (ANR, programme ANR-OGM 2007-2010), which gathered specialists of fish transgenesis, GMO detection and regulation, fish market chain economy, consumer sociology and contemporary science philosophy and epistemology. The aim of DOGMATIS was to investigate the questions raised by the use of transgenesis on an animal, and the possible answers in case of application at economic scale. As for socio-economic aspects, we studied the risk of fortuitous imports (see IFET 10), and we studied the perception of the public through two methodologies : (i) consumers focus groups organised in 2007 and 2010 (see IIFET 10), and (ii) 35 comprehensive interviews with economic actors (wholesalers, retailers, supermarkets, fish farmers) and NGO. This poster presents the key-points of our results issued from those interviews. If GM Fish is for all actors a “remote object”, interviewees accept to fully project their reflexion in a possible future situation of the use of transgenetic fish in farms and the arrival on the market. For economic actors, the raised questions are related to their activities but also to general questions, as for those observed in the consumers focus-groups. For NGO, GM Fish are hardly considered specifically, but nevertheless would require positions and actions if present

Presentation of Dogmatis, An Inter and Multidisciplinary Programme for the Assessment of the Impacts of Genetically Modified Fish, and Results About Risk of fortuitous Import on French Market

DOGMATIS is a research project funded by the French Research Agency (ANR, programme ANR-OGM 2007-2010). The transgenic technologies have been applied to fish since more than 20 years now and some strains are at the premarket or market stage in countries outside Europe. In Europe the main risk is a fortuitous import. Any rumour of uncontrolled arrival of GM fish on the European market may have strong impacts on the market chain, the research and innovation system and the trust in public regulation. The aim of DOGMATIS is to anticipate the answers. It associates specialists of fish transgenesis, GMO detection and regulation, fish market chain economy, consumer sociology and contemporary science philosophy and epistemology. To tackle this multifactorial subject, we developed original methodologies including assumptions based on the quantitative and qualitative knowledge from the different experts of DOGMATIS. We propose to present the programme and the results of our investigation concerning an assessments of the risk of fortuitous presence of GM Fish on the French market, which has been done by crossing the data from scientific literature gathered in a data bank and an expert analysis of filtered statistics of international trade, for the two farmed species concerned by transgenesis techniques and imported on the French market, salmon and tilapia.Keywords: Posters, Markets and Trade, Fisheries Economic

The aim of DOGMATIS is to anticipate the answers. This programme is presented in another communication in IIFET 2010. As for socio-economic aspects, we studied the risk of fortuitous imports, as mentioned in the other communication, and we studied the perception of the public through two methodologies : (i) consumers focus groups organised twice (2007 and 2010); (ii) some comprehensive interviews with economic actors (wholesalers, retailers, supermarkets, fish farmers) and NGO. We propose to present the main points of our results about public perception, showing a complex set of perceptions linked with a multi-faceted image of transgenetic animals, as a potential technical innovation and/or a potential source of questions and debates by numerous ways

De l’évaluation de la perception des risques des PoGMs à l’anticipation des réactions du public

Cette contribution questionne l'appréhension par les consommateurs des PoGMs : comment éprouvent-ils la réalité des PoGM face au caractère imperceptible du phénomène? Comment peuvent-ils émettre des jugements, formuler des points de vue et avoir des convictions sur cet objet encore absent de leur quotidien et sur lequel ils ont peu de prise? La méthode qualitative des focus groupe a permis de faire émerger les compétences des consommateurs à élaborer des argumentations et à éprouver la réalité complexe des PoGMs
