Fish significantly contributed to human food supply and food security and nutrition (FSN) for more than 660 million fish-workers and their families. Fish provides more than 4.5 billion consumers with at least 15 percent of their average per capita intake of animal protein. Fish is more nutritious than staple foods such as cereals, providing in particular essential fatty acids and micronutrients and can play an extremely important role in improving the nutritional status of individuals, in particular those at risk such as children and women. Fish is an efficient converter of feed into high quality food, and it has a lower carbon footprint compared to other animal production systems. Because of all these attributes - fish should definitely be on the menu. This was the conclusion of the paper by of Bene et al. 2015 which called for a closer integration of fish into the overall debate and future policy about FSN.
