Farming fish in the sea will not nourish the world
Type: Journal Article
Recent literature on marine fish farming brands it as potentially compatible with sustainable resource use, conservation, and human nutrition goals, and aligns with the emerging policy discourse of ‘blue growth’. We advance ...
Harnessing the diversity of small-scale actors is key to the future of aquatic food systems
Type: Journal Article
Small-scale fisheries and aquaculture (SSFA) provide livelihoods for over 100 million people and sustenance for ~1 billion people, particularly in the Global South. Aquatic foods are distributed through diverse supply ...
Dried fish at the intersection of food science, economy, and culture: A global survey
Type: Journal Article
Dried fish—here defined broadly as aquatic animals preserved using simple techniques, such as sun-drying, salting, fermentation, and smoking that permit storage as foods at ambient temperature for extended periods without ...
Cracking the code of hatchery-based mass production of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) seed for nutrition-sensitive aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
Introduction: Small indigenous fish species (SIS) can be particularly rich in micronutrients and make a crucial contribution toward improving human nutrition. The introduction of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola), an SIS, which ...
COVID-19 impacts and adaptations in Asia and Africa’s aquatic food value chains
Type: Journal Article
The COVID-19 pandemic is a shock affecting all areas of the global food system. We tracked the impacts of COVID-19 and associated policy responses on the availability and price of aquatic foods and production inputs during ...
Seafood in Food Security: A Call for Bridging the Terrestrial-Aquatic Divide

The contribution of seafood to global food security is being increasingly highlighted in policy. However, the extent to which such claims are supported in the current food security literature is unclear. This review assesses ...
Fisheries in transition: Food and nutrition security implications for the global South
Type: Journal Article
Fisheries and fish supply are undergoing a fundamental structural transition, as indicated by a ten country analysis. Aquaculture now provides around half the fish for direct human consumption and is set to grow further, ...
Integrated aquatic and terrestrial food production enhances micronutrient and economic productivity for nutrition-sensitive food systems
Type: Journal Article
Integrated aquaculture–agriculture (IAA) is a form of crop diversification where aquatic and terrestrial foods are grown together on a single parcel of land. We compare economic and nutrient productivity per hectare for ...
Faltering fisheries and ascendant aquaculture: Implications for food and nutrition security in Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Bangladesh has made considerable progress against human development indicators in recent years, but malnutrition resulting from poor dietary diversity and low micronutrient intakes remains entrenched. Fish is central to ...
Food systems transformation, animal-source foods consumption, inequality, and nutrition in Myanmar
Type: Journal Article
This study traces the consumption of animal-source foods (ASF) during a period of rapid economic change and food system transformation in Myanmar. We use data from two nationally representative consumption surveys conducted ...
