Literature review reveals high micronutrient density in marine fish species, indicating potential to alleviate malnutrition among mothers and young children.

Key Points

To review the nutrient composition of marine fish in Bangladesh and evaluate their potential to satisfy daily dietary requirements and reduce malnutrition among vulnerable women and children.
Searched six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, WorldFish, Banglajol) for publications from 1993 to 2020 on marine fish nutrient profiles.
Extracted 97 entries covering nutrient analyses across 67 species from 12 articles and modeled daily nutrient coverage (protein, iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin A, DHA) for pregnant or lactating women and children aged 6–23 months.
Edible raw marine fish averaged 343.58 kJ of energy, 16.76 g of protein, 4.16 g of fat, and 2.22 g of ash per 100 g, providing rich sources of zinc, calcium, and docosahexaenoic acid.
Pelagic small marine fish harvested by artisanal fishers demonstrated superior nutritional profiles compared to larger marine species and common freshwater fish such as major carps, introduced carps, and tilapia.
