Abstract
Aquaculture has been identified as a critical part of supporting food security, especially for low- and medium-income countries (LMIC) in which fish is an established and key part of diets. Finfish and other aquatic products (“fish”) are high in protein and rich in micronutrients. Employment for low-income people throughout aquaculture value chains is increasingly contributing both directly and indirectly to their food and nutritional security.
