Essential biodiversity variables for measuring change in global freshwater biodiversity (2017, background): “Biodiversity (and not just biomass) is also important here because a wider variety of fish species yields a more valuable food source (in terms ofmicronutrients andminerals) than a fishery consisting of a narrow range of species (Youn et al., 2014).”
Stock assessment in inland fisheries: a foundation for sustainable use and conservation (2016, background): “They supply protein and essential macro-nutrients (Youn et al. 2014) and support livelihoods (Smith et al.”
TheAlliance for Freshwater Life: A global call to unite efforts for freshwater biodiversity science and conservation (2018, background): “Freshwater ecosystems are a fundamental resource for human life, providing clean water, food, livelihoods, and other ecosystem services, estimated to be worth over $4 trillion annually (Béné et al., 2016; Costanza et al., 2014; Lynch et al., 2016; Youn et al., 2014).”
The social, economic, and environmental importance of inland fish and fisheries (2016, background): “Inland fishes provide protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, B vitamins, vitamin A, iron, zinc, and lysine to those where other nutritional sources are not available or are cost-prohibitive (Thilsted et al. 1997; Roos et al. 2007; Youn et al. 2014).”
