B. Uyar and E. Vooris

in Monographs from The WorldFish Center

Abstract: Aquatic foods are an indispensable source of multiple micronutrients and omega-3 fatty acids that are important for growth, cognitive development and cardiovascular health. National food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) are an essential tool for encouraging habitual intake of aquatic foods in a manner that is healthy for both the global population and the planet. This report provides a global review of aquatic foods in current nationally endorsed FBDGs intended for the general public.
