Is Aquaculture Pro-Poor? Empirical Evidence of Impacts on Fish Consumption in Bangladesh (2014, background): “Given this context, in the following analysis we consider increases in individual consumption of fish to be de facto positive as, unlike many other foods, there are very few negative effects associated with high levels of consumption (Tacon & Metian, 2013).”
Why fish do not feel pain (2016, background): “It could also lead to legislative restrictions on fish-related activities with potentially serious negative implications for native subsistence fishing (Capistrano and Charles, 2012), human nutrition and food supply (Tacon and Metian, 2013), and economic development (Tveteras et al., 2012).”
Fish Nutrition and Current Issues in Aquaculture: The Balance in Providing Safe and Nutritious Seafood, in an Environmentally Sustainable Manner (2014, background): “The benefits of consuming a diet rich in seafood are based on high levels of LC ω3 PUFA and high quality animal protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals [67].”
Insects have the capacity for subjective experience (2016, background): “It could also lead to legislative restrictions on fish-related activities with potentially serious negative implications for native subsistence fishing (Capistrano and Charles, 2012), human nutrition and food supply (Tacon and Metian, 2013), and economic development (Tveteras et al., 2012).”
Importance of Seaweeds and Extractive Species in Global Aquaculture Production (2020, background): “Moreover, seaweeds welcome vegetarians and vegans into the seafood world by offering access to highly nutritious ocean-based, plant-equivalent food sources from pristine waters (Pereira 2011; Tacon and Metian 2013).”
Metabolomics and fish nutrition: a review in the context of sustainable feed development (2018, background): “…human consumption not only because of its high protein content and wellbalanced amino acid protein profile but also because it constitutes a high valuable source of essential fatty acids (EFA): docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (Swanson et al. 2012; Tacon & Metian 2013).”
Prospects and challenges of fish for food security in Africa (2019, background): “Fish provides 19% of animal protein intake to Africans (Table 1) and plays a unique role in providing a range of micronutrients and essential fatty acids, especially long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which cannot be easily substituted by other food commodities (Béné et al., 2015; Kassebaum et ”
Fish for Health: Improved Nutritional Quality of Cultured Fish for Human Consumption (2020, background): “…(if harvested from a river, lake, estuary, or open sea; recreational fishery, wild caught or farmed), and the nutrient profile and composition of the feed fed if farmed (Cladis et al. 2014; Kwasek et al. 2020; Maule et al. 2007; Mohan Dey et al. 2005; Tacon and Metian 2013; USDA, 2018; VKM, 2014).”
Faltering fisheries and ascendant aquaculture: Implications for food and nutrition security in Bangladesh (2014, methodology): “This is achieved with reference to a dataset on dified from Thilsted, 2012; Tacon and Metian, 2013). poverty and household livelihood strategies collated by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), as part of its Chronic Poverty and Long Term Impact Study between 1996 and 2007.”
Nutritional Value of Fish: Lipids, Proteins, Vitamins, and Minerals (2018, background): “in crustaceans, molluscs and fish, was documented compared to around 14 mg/100 g in terrestrial meats (Tacon and Metian, 2013).”
Fisheries in transition: Food and nutrition security implications for the global South (2014, background): “Fish are a rich source of high quality protein, a range of micronutrients, and fatty acids essential for human brain development (Tacon and Metian, 2013).”
Feed Matters: Satisfying the Feed Demand of Aquaculture (2015, background): “6% of total global aquaculture production in 2012 (FAO, 2014a), with farmed aquatic meat production in China representing the second most produced meat after pork in 2012 (Tacon and Metian, 2013).”
