Nutritious Aquatic Food

Nutritious Aquatic Food The key element NUTRITIOUS aquatic food concerns the nutrient composition of aquatic food. Relevant, reliable and recent food composition data published in open access are important for assessing the nutrient content. Also, it is important to understand how conservation, storage and preparation may influence nutrient content. The nutrient content of feed may affect the nutrient content of food. Relevant SDGs to this element are SDG 2, 3, 4, and 17. Relevant recommendations from the Committee on World Food Security are CFS 2, 4A.1, and 4A.6.
