The requirement of safety and the quality of the aquatic products gradually increases. Taiwan in many countries has been officially joined to the World Trade Organization (WTO) since January 1, 2002. Good Aquaculture Practice (GAP) was initiated by the Taiwan government in 2004 until 2006. In order to meet the requirements in international trends in future time, GAP was changed to Taiwan Good Aquaculture Practice (TGAP) in 2007. Besides, government aimed to fully implement the traceability system on aquatic products in 2015. Although the traceability system has been promoted for many years, however this ‘traceability system’ is still at unbalance stage. Therefore, the objectives were to study the preferences, consciousness, and acceptance of consumers towards TGAP certified aquatic products and investigate the impacts of consumers when buying the TGAP certified aquatic products. Data was collected from the customers at the hypermarket in Taipei, Carrefour hypermarket. There was about 1212 of valid questionnaire obtained.
