“…As an example, green dark vegetables are rich in folate, which is crucial for DNA methylation status and thus epigenetics [42]. Regarding the fish subgroup, several of its nutrients might contribute to lower CRP: mainly long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3, but it also contains protein, iron, zinc, iodine, vitamin B12, vitamin A (especially oily fish), and vitamin D [43]. In fact, these essential nutrients may lead to a better cardiovascular health, hence the calls for higher fish consumption [44].…”

“…While these new methodologies are not part of common laboratory methods to analyse fish nutrient composition, future analytical methods should aim to use these to better assess fish nutrient composition, where possible. Modelling may also prove useful in extending nutrient profiles to better understand nutrient composition of additional species (6,8) .…”

“…Yet in many settings, because of data limitations, fish are often treated as a largely homogenous food group in analysing diets. Innovative modelling approaches have attempted to fill gaps in nutrient composition data, though they too are restricted to ray-finned species by limited data availability (6)(7)(8) .…”

Objective:Our understanding of the nutrient contribution of fish and other aquatic species to human diets relies on nutrient composition data for a limited number of species. Yet particularly for nutritionally vulnerable aquatic food consumers, consumption includes a wide diversity of species whose nutrient composition data are disparate, poorly compiled or unknown.Design:To address the gap in understanding fish and other aquatic species’ nutrient composition data, we reviewed the literature with an emphasis on species of fish that are under-represented in global databases. We reviewed 164 articles containing 1370 entries of all available nutrient composition data (e.g. macronutrients, micronutrients and fatty acids) and heavy metals (e.g. Pb and Hg) for 515 species, including both inland and marine species of fish, as well as other aquatic species (e.g. crustaceans, molluscs, etc.) when those species were returned by our searches.Results:We highlight aquatic species that are particularly high in nutrients of global importance, including Fe, Zn, Ca, vitamin A and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and demonstrate that, in many cases, a serving can fill critical nutrient needs for pregnant and lactating women and young children.Conclusions:By collating the available nutrient composition data on species of fish and other aquatic species, we provide a resource for fisheries and nutrition researchers, experts and practitioners to better understand these critical species and include them in fishery management as well as food-based programmes and policies.

“…Further, we did not consider emerging techniques such as chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis that convert fish waste into value-added products for food processing and other applications (Klomklao and Benjakul, 2017). We also did not consider regional and temporal effects on the nutrient content of tuna (Zudaire et al, 2015) or alternatives to proximate analysis (Vaitla et al, 2018). Future work should consider these sources of uncertainty to improve estimates.…”

Sustainability is a common goal and catchphrase used in conjunction with seafood, but the metrics used to determine the level of sustainability are poorly defined. Although the conservation statuses of target or nontarget fish stocks associated with fisheries have been scrutinized, the relative climate impacts of different fisheries are often overlooked. Although an increasing body of research seeks to understand and mitigate the climate forcing associated with different fisheries, little effort has sought to integrate these disparate disciplines to examine the synergies and trade-offs between conservation efforts and efforts to reduce climate impacts. We quantified the climate forcing per unit of fish protein associated with several different U.S. tuna fishing fleets, among the most important capture fisheries by both volume and value. We found that skipjack tuna caught by purse seine, a gear type that is often associated with relatively high bycatch of nontarget species, results in lower climate forcing than all other sources of proteins examined with the exception of plants. Conversely, skipjack tuna caught by trolling, a gear type that is often associated with relatively low bycatch of nontarget species, generates higher climate forcing than most other protein sources with the exception of beef. Because there is a range of selectivity and climate forcing impacts associated with fishing gears, examining the trade-offs associated with bycatch and climate forcing provides an opportunity for broadening the discourse about the sustainability of seafood. A central goal of more sustainable seafood practices is to minimize environmental impacts, thus mitigation efforts—whether they target conservation, habitat preservation, or climate impacts—should consider the unintended consequences on fisheries conservation.
