As aquaculture production and the consumption of aquaculture products increase, the possibility of contracting zoonotic infections from either handling or ingesting these products also increases. The principal pathogens acquired topically from fish or shellfish through spine/pincer puncture or open wounds are Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella tarda, Mycobacterium marinum, Streptococcus iniae, ...

To the Editor: I agree with Kuratko that there is a need for tailored food frequency questionnaires (FFQ), particularly for nutrients that have limited food sources, such as long chain ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC ω-3 PUFA). Fish are the best food source of LC ω-3 PUFA, and oily fish such as sardines and Atlantic salmon contain approximately 10 times more LC ω-3 PUFA than lean fish, such...

Aquaponics is the cultivation of fish and plants in a series systems, either one container or separate containers, by paying attention to balance between fish, plants, aquatic microorganisms. One obstacles aquaponic activities that vegetable growth not optimal due lack dissolved nutrients, so further research needed make better plant growth. This study aimed evaluate catfish water spinach perfo...

BACKGROUND Diverse perspectives have influenced fish consumption choices. OBJECTIVES We summarized the issue of fish consumption choice from toxicological, nutritional, ecological, and economic points of view; identified areas of overlap and disagreement among these viewpoints; and reviewed effects of previous fish consumption advisories. METHODS We reviewed published scientific literature,...

The effects of stocking both filter-feeding fish and piscivorous fish were compared to the effects of stocking only filter-feeding fish for suppressing algal blooms and improving water quality in the impoundment area of Xiaojiang River where catfish were dominant. Using only filter-feeding fish for algal suppression and water quality control was more effective in the short-term, but use of both...

Trends in global fish catches are described together with fish landings and fish consumption in the UK. The importance of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids as essential constituents of human diets is considered and the role of oily fish as a dietary source of the long-chain n-3 polyunsaturates, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, is emphasized. The origin of n-3 polyunsaturate...

Fish are highly nutritious food items. In most countries, fish is one of the significant sources of animal protein and essential nutrients for the maintenance of health and protection from different types of diseases, such as blood pressure, cancer and heart stroke [1]. Sea food products reduce vulnerability to hunger by providing a complementary food source when other food sources, such as agr...
