WorldFish scientists are working at the cutting edge of research into aquatic food science with several breakthrough innovations.

Today, WorldFish researchers are tackling socio-ecological problems that pose far more complexity and uncertainty than when WorldFish was first established, nearly 50 years ago.

With the increased recognition of its nutritional benefits, demand for aquatic foods has been increasing.

Despite an abundance of lakes, rivers, oceans, seas and mangrove ecosystems, Africa remains a net importer of fish, which cost the continent

Aquatic foods play a significant role in the diets and nutrition of women, especially women and girls of reproductive age, providing a rich source of affordable protein, vitamins, minerals and heal

The digitalization of fisheries management holds much promise for productive, sustainable and inclusive aquatic food systems.

Many of the most climate-vulnerable countries are also heavily dependent on aquatic food systems for nutrition and livelihoods.

Small-scale fisheries (SSF) account for at least 40 percent of the global catch from capture fisheries and are relied upon, at least in part,

According to the latest data, almost half of the world’s fish, shellfish and othe

Around 600 million people depend on fishing and aquaculture for their livelihoods. Yet the global catch is declining from overfishing, habitat degradation and warming oceans.
