OBJECTIVE To analyse the relationship between maternal intakes of fish and other seafood during pregnancy and child neurodevelopment at age 4 years. Although pregnant women are advised to limit seafood intakes because of possible neurotoxin contamination, several studies suggest that overall maternal seafood intakes are associated with improved child neurodevelopment, perhaps because of higher ...

Seafood consumption is recommended as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Under-exposure to seafood during early years feeding, when taste and food acceptance is developed, may impact on the future development of a varied diet. This study aimed to investigate the availability and nutritional content of seafood in commercial infant meals compared to the other food types. A survey was conducted of ...

The food production system is increasingly global and seafood is among themost highly traded commodities. Global trade can improve food security by providing access to a greater variety of foods, increasingwealth, buffering against local supply shocks, and benefit the environment by increasing overall use efficiency for some resources. However, global trade can also expose countries to external...

OBJECTIVE To describe part of the results of the CALIPSO study, i.e. to provide seafood consumption data on high seafood consumers in France and its contribution to n-3 long-chain (LC) PUFA intake. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS A total of 1011 individuals aged 18 years and over, who consumed fish and seafood at least twice weekly, were recruited. A consumption survey and a local 'total diet study' were...

BACKGROUND Seafood intake is associated with beneficial effects for human health. Seafood provides a number of nutrients beyond the traditionally known long chain marine n-3 fatty acids EPA, DPA and DHA, such as protein, vitamin D, iodine, selenium and vitamin B12. Valid assessment of dietary seafood and n-3 supplement intakes are becoming increasingly crucial when giving recommendations to pop...

The assignment Fish and other seafood contain substances that have a positive effect on the public health, but they may also contain contaminants and other undesirable substances. At the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) conducted an assessment of the nutritional benefits of consuming fish and other seafood compared to the h...

Vibrio parahaemolyticusis the leading cause of seafood-related gastroenteritis. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of atrh(+)strain,V. parahaemolyticusK23, isolated from seafood. The sequence will be useful for comparative analysis between environmental and clinical isolates ofV. parahaemolyticus.
