Abstract

Fish is an important part of the diet of human in almost all the countries of the world. Animal proteins are generally superior to plant proteins and fish is one of the cheapest sources of quality animal protein and availability and affordability is better for fish in comparison to other animal protein sources. Fish serves as a health food for the affluent world owing to the fish oils which are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially the omega-3 PUFAs and at the same time, it is a health food in the other extremes of the nutritional scale owing to its proteins, oils, vitamins and minerals and the benefits associated with the consumption of small indigenous fishes.
