Fish Nutrition and Feed Technology
Subject
Fish, Nutrition, Feed, Technology
Description
This Special Issue was designed to address advances in feeding and feed technology
and challenges in aquaculture in order to achieve a greater understanding of its management
and improve the sector. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations), aquaculture and fisheries provide approximately 17% of global edible
animal proteins; aquaculture and fisheries are thus considered crucial sources of animal
protein for human diets. Importantly, aquaculture exceeded fishery production in 2016,
contributing 52% of the total aquatic foodstuff produced for human consumption in 2018
(FAO, 2020).
After years of a decreasing trend, the COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase in the
number of malnourished people, with an additional 9.3 million children suffering from
acute malnutrition presently. Aquaculture is a sustainable and environmentally friendly
practice with significant potential to feed the rapidly increasing world population and
combat malnutrition. It can provide highly nutritious food containing high-quality proteins
and essential ingredients for human health. Al-Banna et al. [1], in their review, reported
that dried fish could be used to address malnutrition in Bangladesh, thanks to its high
protein and supply of minerals such as iron, zinc, and calcium, which are essential for
children and pregnant and lactating women. These results are supported by the analysis of
the nutrient composition of dried fish in the databasesWeb of Science, PubMed, Google
Scholar, ScienceDirect, Banglajol (a Bangladesh-based database), and ResearchGate, in
addition to literature searches. The authors conclude with the hope that policymakers will
work together with experts in food and nutrition to promote the consumption of dried fish
via encouraging the inclusion of dried fish in the diet of vulnerable populations (children
and pregnant and lactating women).
