Near-real-time nutrition-sensitive fisheries managementAlex TilleyLorenzo LongobardiGianna Bonis-Profumowww.cgiar.orgThe problemMalnutrition due to poor diets has increased by 15% since 2010.Micronutrient deficiencies are a global problem● Iron deficiency (resulting in anaemia) impairs motor and cognitive function, slow emotional development, and poor academic performance in children● Zinc deficiency results in reduced immune system, among other complications. Growing babies require zinc and only get it from the mother● Calcium is essential for bone growth, skeletal development and bone density Food systems are under increasing pressure, and costs are rising.● Equity - Undernourishment and poverty intersect● Dietary quality - Diets often are energy-dense and nutrient-poor● Economic access - Animal-source proteins are generally expensive● Affordability - A nutritious diet would cost 3x the price of an energy only dietwww.cgiar.orgMalnutrition in Timor-LesteTimor-Leste has the third highest prevalence of stunting in the worldwww.cgiar.orgThe potentialIf catch composition can be converted into nutrient yields to identify the gears, fleets, and species that supply nutrient-rich seafood then we can identify fisheries that might provide a sustainable source of nutrients lacking in local diets. www.cgiar.orgFish Nutrients tool - FishBasewww.cgiar.orgPeskAAS monitoring systemwww.peskas.org• Micronutrient deficiencies account for one million premature deaths and countless severe disabilities worldwide annually• Micronutrient deficiencies account for one million premature deaths and countless severe disabilities worldwide annually• Micronutrient deficiencies account for one million premature deaths and countless severe disabilities worldwide annually1123www.cgiar.orgPeskAAS work flowwww.peskas.orgwww.cgiar.orgPeskAAS monitoring systemwww.peskas.orgDynamic map of catch and effortExtrapolated fisheries revenueNutrient composition by fish groupsNutrient composition by fish groupsNutrient composition by fishing habitatwww.cgiar.orgNutrition-sensitive fisheries policy Fisheries managed for nutrient outcomes will require support from markets and institutions to raise demand for nutritious seafood and promote access to fishMake nutritious fish available and affordableRaise awareness of diverse diet and healthy habitswww.cgiar.orgNutrition-sensitive fisheries policy Tilley et al.
