Fish and other aquatic animals play an essential role in ensuring food and nutrition security in many countries where a significant portion of the population is poor and undernourished. These aquatic foods provide a rich source of high-quality protein, numerous micronutrients and fatty acids vital for human brain development. In low-income, food-deficit regions, fish is often the most affordable and commonly consumed animal-source food, making it a crucial component in diversifying diets that are otherwise heavily reliant on starchy staples. Additionally, fish consumption enhances food and nutrition security beyond its inherent nutrient content by facilitating the absorption of nutrients from plant-based foods in the diet. While fish is commonly associated with food security through its protein content, its true value lies in being a rich source of micronutrients and lipids. It provides easily digestible, high-quality proteins and healthy fats, along with essential nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, and calcium and serves as the primary source of omega-3 fatty acids in the human diet.
