Dietary change in Bangladesh from 1985 to 2010
Type: Journal Article
In many countries, dietary change is tracked using food supply data from the Food and Agriculture Organizations food balance sheets. It is difficult to draw conclusions on individual or sub-national food consumption from ...
The potential of nutrient-rich small fish species in aquaculture to improve human nutrition and health
Type: Conference Paper
Small fish are a common food and an integral part of the everyday carbohydraterich diets of many population groups in poor countries. These populations also suffer from undernutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies ...
Fish and meat are often withheld from the diets of infants 6 to 12 months in fish-farming households in rural Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Fish is a widely available animal-source food in Bangladesh and a rich source of nutrients, yet little is known about practices related to incorporating fish into the diets of infants and young children. Our study makes ...
Inclusion of small indigenous fish improves nutritional quality during the first 1000 days
Type: Journal Article
Key contributing factors to undernutrition in low-income countries, including Bangladesh, are low dietary diversity in the diets of women and low nutrient density of traditional complementary foods (CFs) for infants and ...
Increased production of small fish in wetlands combats micronutrient deficiencies in Bangladesh
Type: Brief
Increased production of mola and other small fish can be achieved through stock enhancement and sustainable management of natural wetlands. Enhanced fish production can increase consumption and provide nutritional benefits, ...
Homestead pond polyculture can improve access to nutritious small fish
Type: Journal Article
In Bangladesh, homestead pond aquaculture currently comprises a polyculture of large fish species but provides an ideal environment to integrate a range of small fish species. Small fish consumed whole, with bones, head ...
Pond polyculture technologies combat micronutrient deficiencies and increase household income in Bangladesh

Fish is the most important animal-source food (ASF) in Bangladesh, produced from capture fisheries (non-farmed) and aquaculture (farmed) sub-sectors. Large differences in micronutrient content of fish species from these ...
Discovery and biological relevance of 3,4-didehydroretinol (vitamin A2) in small indigenous fish species and its potential as a dietary source for addressing vitamin A deficiency
Type: Journal Article
Discovered in the late 1920s, 3,4-didehydroretinol (DROL, vitamin A2) plays a significant biological role in freshwater fish. The functions of this vitamin have been investigated but to a far lesser extent than those of ...
