Fish is an important part of the Sri Lankan diet. However, existing data on nutrient composition fish in Lanka highly outdated and limited. The aim this study was to report commonly consumed marine species assess potential contribution selected key nutrients recommended intakes (RNI). were sampled during a survey with research vessel Dr. Fridtjof Nansen around Lanka. Species categorised as either small (<25 cm, n = 12) or large (>25 7), three composite samples from each analysed using...
Inadequate nutrient intakes are prevalent among many populations in sub-Saharan Africa and increasing fish consumption pregnant/lactating women children is one strategy to improve diets address deficiencies. We report the content of two fish-based recipes-fish powder chutney-that contain dried small available local markets Zambia. The contribution a serving each recipe recommended daily iron, zinc, calcium docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for 6-24 months was calculated because these nutrients...
Fish is a major part of the Bangladeshi diet, but data on nutrient composition marine fish species are sparse. Mesopelagic may be new potential resource food and nutrients; however, lacking. The aim this study was to provide sampled off coast Bangladesh determine their contribution recommended intakes (RNI). Seven from pelagic, mesopelagic, demersal zones were with Dr. Fridtjof Nansen in 2018. Three pooled samples containing 15-840 individuals each analysed at Institute Marine Research,...
Abstract Ninety percent of the world’s fishers are directly involved in small-scale fisheries (SSFs), and many food safety quality issues along value chains may be both irreversible cumulative. Ensuring safe, high-quality aquatic products key to sustaining life, promoting good health, avoiding adverse health effects. Objective This paper aimed highlight factors preventing implementation assurance systems SSFs by analysing results from surveys on Article 11 Food Agriculture Organization...
Many developing countries face challenges in managing food safety risks associated with consumption of animal-source foods. Efforts to address these increasingly recognize the role certification agri-food systems governance. Understanding consumers' willingness pay (WTP) for is fundamental determining appropriate design and implementation programs reduce burden foodborne illnesses countries. To this need, we implemented a framed field experiment consumers eight farm-raised African Catfish...
Fish represent an important part of the Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi diet. However, fish is also a source contaminants that may constitute health risk to consumers. The aim this study was analyse contents arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead in 24 commonly consumed marine species from Bay Bengal assess potential associated with their consumption. Mercury did not exceed maximum limits for any sampled species, consumer exposure estimated daily consumption assessed be minimal adults children. Numerous...
We implemented the novel Women's Empowerment in Fisheries Index (WEFI) (adapted from Agriculture Index), among men and women fisheries value chain actors at Zambia's Lake Bangweulu (N = 397). found significant gender disparities favoring males across key indicators. Men were significantly more likely to report large decision-making input into fishing, processing, transporting, selling fish, as well sole ownership of important productive assets such fishing processing equipment, canoes,...
Timor-Leste is one of the world’s most malnourished nations where micronutrient-deficient diets are a contributing factor to prevalence child stunting, currently estimated be 45.6% children under five. Fish an important source nutrients and that may assist country’s predominantly rural population agriculturalists exit poverty malnutrition. However, small national fishing fleet producing low catch volumes places fish out reach inland upland populations it needed most. consumption very in...
Agri-food system integration has the potential to increase and add value agricultural production, reduce cost of dependency on external inputs, generate additional income farmers, encourage diversification outputs diets. integrations such as livestock-fish, poultry-fish, crop-livestock rice-fish farming have been well documented in academic literature. However, information fish root, tuber banana (RTB) crops is scarcely available, despite their worldwide cultural, dietary, economic...
Agriculture is the primary source of income and household food for >75% rural Kenyans, including people living with HIV (PLHIV), making agricultural yields an important factor in security nutrition. Previous studies have shown interconnectedness insecurity, malnutrition, poor health by elucidating that having one these conditions increases likelihood severity another. However, few explored linkages between practices, nutrition PLHIV, or how livelihood interventions may affect domains. This...
Aquatic foods, including fish, are a substantial component of animal source foods globally, and make critical nutritional contribution to diets in many contexts. In the global North, concern among consumers regulators over safety environmental sustainability seafood, particularly developed nations, has led development increasingly stringent seafood standards. While such standards may constitute regularity, logistical, economic barriers participation export markets by small-scale producers,...

Fish an important source micronutrients and that may assist country’s predominantly rural population agriculturalists exit poverty malnutrition.

fish can be an affordable and accessible animal-source food in many Low- Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). Traditional processing methods pose a risk of exposing to various contaminants that may reduce their nutritional benefit. In addition, lack literacy increase women processors' vulnerability malnutrition foodborne diseases. The overall aim the project was educate youth processors Delta State, Nigeria about benefit human diet develop low tools help them better market products. objective...
