•
0 likes•191 views
Inland fish are an important source of nutrition in many developing countries, providing key nutrients for growth and development. Over 40% of the world's inland fish comes from 50 low-income, food deficient countries. Inland fish make up 100% of the fish consumed in countries like Chad and Mongolia, and over 90% in countries such as South Sudan, Ethiopia, and the Central African Republic. Inland fish are high in protein, calcium, vitamins A, B, and D, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, and micronutrients which are essential for brain and vision development, muscle and bone growth, cardiovascular health, and reducing stunting and vitamin A deficiency in children under 5.

Science Forum Day 3 - Shakuntala Thilsted - Fish in the First 1,000 Days
This document discusses the importance of fish and essential fatty acids during the first 1,000 days of life from conception to 24 months. It outlines various global initiatives focused on nutrition during this critical period like Scaling Up Nutrition and highlights countries making early progress. The document emphasizes that small fish are a rich source of essential fats like DHA and reviews data on fat content in common fish species in places like Bangladesh. It concludes by recommending the agricultural sector increase access to fatty fish, improve omega-3 content in aquaculture feeds, and reduce post-harvest losses to better utilize small fish for human nutrition in the critical first 1,000 days.

The document discusses nutrition requirements during pregnancy and lactation. It recommends increased calorie, protein, vitamin and mineral intake during these stages. Key recommendations include 300 extra calories per day during pregnancy, 10-12 kg total weight gain, and extra 20-30g protein during lactation. Deficiencies of iron, iodine, calcium and vitamin D can lead to complications. A balanced diet with milk, fruits and vegetables can meet nutritional demands.
Conventional protein sources for aqua feed
Aquaculture production reached 60 million tonnes in 2010 with a value of $119 billion, contributing 36.9% of total fisheries production. Over 46% of aquaculture depends on external feed inputs which are expensive. Fishmeal is the major protein source but supplies are limited and prices are high, creating an urgent need to find alternative protein sources like animal byproducts, plant proteins from soy, corn and oilseeds, and microbial sources like algae and yeast. Sustainable aquaculture feed development must consider economics, local ingredients, research, and small farmers.

World food day
The document discusses issues related to global hunger and malnutrition on World Food Day. It notes that climate change is impacting food production while malnutrition contributes to millions of child deaths annually. Many regions face widespread micronutrient deficiencies that damage health. Though global food output is sufficient, uneven distribution means over 800 million people remain undernourished. Solutions proposed include reducing food waste, improving storage and transport infrastructure, and biofortifying staple crops through agriculture to combat hidden hunger. The document also notes Pakistan's own malnutrition problems and need for industry, academia, and researchers to work together to address nutritional deficiencies and their costs on society.

This document discusses malnutrition and nutrition problems in Turkey. It notes that Turkey has issues common to both developing and developed countries in terms of nutrition. Dietary habits vary regionally and are influenced by socioeconomic status and urban/rural differences. The main foods in the Turkish diet are bread and grains, though consumption of these is decreasing as legumes, eggs and sugar increase. Fast food consumption is high especially among children and teenagers in urban areas, but these foods are high in saturated fat and low in vitamins. Obesity rates are highest in Southeastern and Central Anatolia regions. Solutions proposed include improving nutrition policies, education, and guidelines to promote a balanced diet with adequate carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and
Kwarshirkor Presentation by BOUZAHER AYMEN ABDERRAHMANE
Kwashiorkor is a severe form of protein deficiency in children that is common in developing countries, especially in Africa, South East Asia, and Latin America. It is characterized by loss of muscle mass, enlarged stomach, skin lesions, hair loss, failure to grow, and infections. Kwashiorkor affects up to 1/3 of children globally and can be treated with specially formulated therapeutic foods that provide protein, calories, and nutrients. Preventing kwashiorkor requires ensuring access to a balanced, protein-rich diet. International organizations aim to challenge malnutrition through prevention, provision of food and infrastructure, and helping nations eliminate this serious public health problem.

The document discusses the World Bank's increasing investment in fisheries and aquaculture as part of its development agenda, recognizing the important role that fish play in nutrition. It notes that fish consumption and production is expected to rise globally to meet demand, especially in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Small indigenous fish species in these regions are among the most micronutrient-rich foods and consuming them, particularly for women during the first 1,000 days of life and for young children, can significantly improve health outcomes and reduce stunting. The World Bank is thus looking to invest further in nutrition-sensitive fish agri-food systems and value chains as a means to simultaneously improve human health and lifetime wealth.

Micronutrient deficiencies, also known as hidden hunger, affect millions of children and cause stunted growth, cognitive delays, and weakened immunity. Common deficiencies include iodine, vitamin A, iron, zinc, and calcium/vitamin D/folate during pregnancy. These deficiencies can be addressed through supplementation, food fortification, and biofortification programs. The National Plan of Action on Nutrition Malaysia III aims to reduce micronutrient deficiencies through universal salt iodization, prenatal vitamin distribution, and nutrition education.
Malawi
Malawi imports packaged medicaments, oil, and float glass, and exports raw tobacco, raw sugar, and tea. Agriculture is a major industry, focused on tobacco, sugar, maize, cotton, and tea. Manufacturing and mining are also industries. The population speaks English and Chichewa officially, and other languages regionally. Christianity is the dominant religion. Literacy rates are around 67-77% with most people receiving only a primary education. The economy relies heavily on imports and exports of raw materials, and the country ranks low on development indices despite efforts from international NGOs to improve living standards.

This document summarizes research on the contamination of foods and feeds with aflatoxin and fumonisin in Kenya. The research found:
1) Maize and milk samples from Makueni county had much higher levels of aflatoxin and fumonisin contamination than samples from Nandi county, with Makueni maize containing 31 times more aflatoxin.
2) Rates of stunting and underweight in children were higher in Makueni, and exposure to aflatoxins increased the likelihood of these conditions.
3) Differences in fungal strains between the regions help explain the differing contamination levels, with more toxigenic strains found in Makueni.

Eating Tips For Your Pregnancy
The nutritional status of women during pregnancy can significantly influence infant and maternal health. Studies have shown nutritional education and counseling during pregnancy leads to improved weight gain, larger head circumference in babies, and reduced risks of preterm birth and anemia. Ideal weight gain during a healthy pregnancy is 25-35 pounds, while excessive or insufficient gain can harm the baby and mother. A balanced, nutritious diet with the right proportions of protein, carbohydrates, and fats along with fruits and vegetables is important. Specific nutrients like folic acid, iron, vitamin D, calcium, iodine and zinc are especially crucial during pregnancy and deficiencies can be addressed through diet and supplements. Nutritional education is key to achieving the best outcomes

Case examples of IUU fishing in the Asian region – links to Port State Measures
The document summarizes a study on illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing by foreign vessels in Asia. It identifies 33 hotspots of IUU fishing across the region. The major hotspots account for 82-85% of the total estimated IUU catch of 2.06-2.51 million tonnes worth $3.65-5.24 billion. The hotspots involve issues like lack of authorization, boundary violations, misreporting of catches, and involve a mix of trawling and purse seine fishing. Addressing IUU fishing requires strengthening monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS), port controls, regional cooperation, and improving domestic fisheries management and governance.

Understanding inland fisheries production using household consumption and exp...
Inland fisheries are a major source of food and food security throughout the Asian region, but are often overlooked in national statistics and in considerations of food security. Eleven countries in the Asian region produce 65.5 percent of global fish catch from inland fisheries but the quality of reporting of inland fishery is rather poor, preventing effective analysis. Inland fisheries form a vital part of some rural people's livelihoods and contributes a major source of protein, especially for vulnerable populations. For statistical purposes however, these fish are all but invisible in official production figures. Consumption of fish is however picked up by national household surveys. Carried out on a regular basis and to a high level of statistical accuracy, such surveys provide a wealth of information about consumption patterns and habits. This data can play a vital role in the development of fisheries and natural resource policies that may have considerable impact on the most vulnerable segments of the population. Based on a review of fish and fish product consumption derived from national households consumption and expenditure surveys, this presentation reviews some of the results and their implications for the use of this type of national household consumption and expenditure surveys for improving our understanding how inland fisheries and fish consumption. The presentation also covers some of the weaknesses in the approach and how these may be improved to provide far more effective information in support of understanding inland fisheries and its role in food security.
Case Studies in Fisheries
- Inland fisheries make a significant contribution to nutrition and food security in many developing countries by providing high-quality protein, fat, and micronutrients. Fish consumption in the Mekong River Basin ranges from 24-34 kg/person/year and provides over half the protein in Cambodia.
- Environmental degradation and changes to water management threaten inland fisheries through loss of habitat. Most of the world's freshwater systems have been modified through dams, reservoirs, drainage of wetlands, and other impacts.
- Governance of fisheries resources is important to ensure access for local communities dependent on them while preventing overexploitation. Self-governance models are vulnerable to illegal fishing and need state support
Fishing capacity management in Asia : The FAO IPOA–Capacity
This document discusses fishing capacity management in Asia. It notes that total fishing effort is often unknown due to a lack of data on vessel and gear numbers. While some countries have developed National Plans of Action to manage capacity, implementation has been limited. Effective management requires reducing incentives for overcapacity, coordinating enforcement, and finding a balance between economic and resource sustainability. The International Plan of Action provides strategies for capacity assessments, management planning, and cooperation to address this important issue.

Managing tropical trawl fisheries Development of the APFIC regional guidelines
- Trawling has a long history in Asia dating back to the early 20th century and expanded rapidly starting in the 1970s. There are now an estimated 83,000 trawl vessels operating in the tropical Asia-Pacific region.
- Trawling accounts for 25-52% of total marine catches in countries with significant tropical trawling and is one of the main reasons the Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest producer of fish.
- However, many tropical trawl fisheries are now overfished or fully fished and ecological issues have arisen from overfishing, bycatch, and damage to habitats from trawling. New regional guidelines were developed to help manage these fisheries sustainably

Global marine capture fisheries production has remained stable in recent years at around 79 million tonnes, while Asian fishery production continues to increase and now accounts for around 61% of total global production. Within Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia have seen consistent increases in fishery production over the past decade of around 29% and 28% respectively. However, many fisheries in the region are fully or overexploited. Unreported catch, including from illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, poses a major challenge. Inland fisheries production in Asia has also increased strongly over the past decade, rising 50% compared to 21% in the rest of the world. Fish consumption varies widely in the region depending
