One of the aims of e-fishnet Intellectual Producto IO1 was to define the “Ideal training model” focused on fishmongers considering the results of surveys, booth addressed to fishmongers and to costumers, and also based on main conclusions obtained of the researches carried out.
Another source of information was the fishmonger’s interviews in which they expressed their opinion and talked about the topics they would like to learn about.
