“…The nutritional minerals observed in C. anguiliaris and H. vittatus fish were calcium, magnesium and zinc. Calcium was the highest mineral content as with other similar previous studies (Bogard et al, 2015;Mahanty et al, 2014). Calcium deficiency leads to the development of rickets especially in children (Craviari et al, 2008).…”

A new product in the form of edible fish powder was developed from small pelagic fish (Brycinus nurse) which constitutes one of the major commercial fisheries in Lake Albert, Uganda. The objective of the study was to determine the proximate and mineral composition of the newly developed fish powder and also to compare it with Nile tilapia powder already on market. Results indicated that the changes in the amount of protein and ash were found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) in fish powder than in fried samples. The increase in fat content of fried fish samples was found to be significant compared to other fish samples. No significant changes (p > 0.05) were observed in carbohydrate content for raw, fried, and powdered samples. Vitamin A decreased significantly in powdered samples. Comparing the B. nurse powder and tilapia powder (made from juvenile tilapia as raw material), the results indicated that B. nurse had higher levels of iron and manganese. Extracting proteins from B. nurse provides an opportunity to increase the utilization of harvested catch.

“…Approximately 20% of all rural households (4.27 million households) own multifunctional homestead ponds, and in recent decades, there has been significant investment in improving the production of large fish species in these systems (Belton and Azad 2012;Belton and Little 2011;. Together with evidence from Bogard et al (2015) and Roos (2001), there is a strong case for promoting production systems that combine large fish and SIS to significantly improve access to micronutrients for poor rural households.…”

“…In contrast, a large diversity of fish species (more than 270), particularly small indigenous fish species (SIS, growing to a maximum length of 25 cm) are available from inland capture fisheries. Unlike large fish, many of these SIS, which are consumed whole with head and bones, provide a significant source of bioavailable calcium, zinc, iron and vitamin A (Bogard et al 2015;Roos et al 2007a). Combining SIS with large species in homestead pond polyculture, offers opportunity to increase household dietary diversity and micronutrient intake (Bogard et al 2015;Thilsted 2012a).…”

Homestead pond polyculture can improve access to nutritious small fish

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 and eyes, are rich in micronutrients and are an integral part of diets, particularly for the poor. Results from three large projects demonstrate that the small fish, mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) contributes significantly to the micronutrients produced from all fish, in homestead ponds, in one production cycle. Mola contributed 98%, 56% and 35% of the total vitamin A, iron and zinc produced, respectively, despite comprising only 15% of the total fish production by weight. If consumed within the household, mola could contribute half of the vitamin A and a quarter of the iron intake recommended for a family of four, annually. Homestead ponds are uniquely accessible to women who prepare the household food. Further dissemination of the carp-small fish technology provides opportunities to target women and men together for training on fish production and consumption, nutrition and gender equity. Women only training is also recommended to enable them to engage fully, without feeling dominated by men. Partnering with the fisheries and health sectors will encourage sustainable uptake of this promising technology. Clearly, dissemination could have significant health benefits; however, improved monitoring and evaluation, particularly of dietary diversity and diet quality are essential. Research priorities should also include the production techniques of other small indigenous fish species (SIS), besides mola, and the power dynamics between women and men in operating homestead ponds.
