From both nutritionist and aquaculturist points of view, our aim is to sustainably produce aquatic food with superior sensory properties and high cardioprotective properties. The reason is that although preventable, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the top global cause of death and stroke. The prevention of atherosclerosis is, therefore, a major objective of modern medical and biochemical investigations into the mechanism of atherosclerosis and how the structure of food components determines their role in the mechanism(s) involved. The composition of aquafeeds and their impact on the nutritional value of aquatic food is a focal point of today’s research and development both in academia and industry.

The passage discusses the importance of developing a growth mindset and embracing challenges as opportunities to learn and improve. It notes that praising intelligence or talent alone can foster a fixed mindset, whereas praising effort, strategies, and progress toward mastery encourages a growth mindset. The growth mindset allows people to see failure not as evidence of a lack of intelligence but rather as a chance to develop skills through hard work and learning from mistakes.
