Manuscripts reporting studies involving human participants, human data or human tissue must:
An online survey was performed to adult consumers in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden by Taloustutkimus Ltd. We asked about fish eating habits but not about health or other sensitive issues. We did not ask or collect identity information of the respondents, except age, gender, and country, which were used for classification in analyses. The survey did not involve any interventions. Due to these reasons, there was no need for ethical approval according to the THL guidance.

=== Availability of data and materials ===


All manuscripts must include an ‘Availability of data and materials’ statement. Data availability statements should include information on where data supporting the results reported in the article can be found including, where applicable, hyperlinks to publicly archived datasets analysed or generated during the study. By data we mean the minimal dataset that would be necessary to interpret, replicate and build upon the findings reported in the article. We recognise it is not always possible to share research data publicly, for instance when individual privacy could be compromised, and in such instances data availability should still be stated in the manuscript along with any conditions for access.
The whole benefit-risk assessment was performed online at http://en.opasnet.org/w/Goherr_assessment, and all details (including data, code, results, descriptions, and discussions) are openly available, except for the personal data from the consumer survey. The consumer survey data was converted to and published as synthetic data, i.e. data that does not represent any real individuals but that has similar statistical properties as the actual data.  
 
Data availability statements can take one of the following forms (or a combination of more than one if required for multiple datasets):
 
    The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study are available in the [NAME] repository, [PERSISTENT WEB LINK TO DATASETS]
    The datasets used and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
    All data generated or analysed during this study are included in this published article [and its supplementary information files].
    The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study are not publicly available due [REASON WHY DATA ARE NOT PUBLIC] but are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
    Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analysed during the current study.
    The data that support the findings of this study are available from [third party name] but restrictions apply to the availability of these data, which were used under license for the current study, and so are not publicly available. Data are however available from the authors upon reasonable request and with permission of [third party name].
    Not applicable. If your manuscript does not contain any data, please state 'Not applicable' in this section.
 
More examples of template data availability statements, which include examples of openly available and restricted access datasets, are available here.
 
BioMed Central also requires that authors cite any publicly available data on which the conclusions of the paper rely in the manuscript. Data citations should include a persistent identifier (such as a DOI) and should ideally be included in the reference list. Citations of datasets, when they appear in the reference list, should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite and follow journal style. Dataset identifiers including DOIs should be expressed as full URLs. For example:
